    Price was great shape for Povetkin, was uncharacteristically brimming with confidence and calm and relaxed, which was remarkable considering he's been knocked out x 4 and was facing by far the best opponent he's ever fought and possesses legit one punch KO power in either mitt - you can make a case for the great Italian Roberto Cammerelle (who Price fought in the amateurs) who is an Olympic gold, silver & bronze medalist and a 2 x world amateur gold medalist and 2 x bronze but don't forget that Povetkin is 3-0 against Cammerelle in the unpaid ranks.

    Why was Price so uncharacteristically serene and confident for that fight? Even after he got dropped heavily for the first KD it didn't appear to shake his self-belief in the slightest.

    Now I know why.

    I must've missed his ring walk when I watched the live broadcast of the fight. Anyone who comes out to The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly theme increases their chances of winning by at least 50%. The confidence that piece of music will imbue you with >>>> Eye of the Tiger

    Price to make an epic comeback of Goliath proportions. Ending 2019 as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

    or get KTFO and retire

    right @Price is done ?

    :lol: stranger things have happened.

    Don't forget that Price holds an amateur win over the lineal HW champion of the world Tyson ''Two Fast'' Fury aka The Gypsy King who is unquestionably the slickest HW of all time and he sparked out the current 3 belt unified HW king AJ in sparring which should really be considered an official win.

    All depends how hard Molina hits imo,would like to think Pricey would have this and given his size could make it an easy nights work.

    Imagine his career if he’d of fought like Wlad in Steward or as AJ been doing of late,great to watch but he could become boring and beat guys like Molina in his sleep.

    Molina has a hideous glass jaw, some level the same accusation at Price but I think real boxing heads know that his problems are all psychological. If Price had a legend like Steward training him and motivating him he would very likely have dominated the HW division for a very long time. Steward and Price would've been a match made in heaven.

    I reckon those two losses to drug cheats hurt him more than anything and absolutely got into his head as it would.

    Looking forward to this. I remember when Joshua faced Molina, and he and Price was the only two options available in the IBF rankings for AJ to face.

    I said Price was the better option because of his punchers chance v AJ, compared to Molinas zero chance. If Molina had a pulse Wilder wouldn't have voluntary faced him

    Molina v Wilder was a more accurate example of glass v glass

    Would very much welcome this fight. I think Price has it in him to starch Molina

    Hoping Price can win. Think if he could get a win or two at this level it makes for some interesting fights. Would still really like to see the Fury fight. He's so great to watch, because you know he can both starch and get starched at literally any moment.

    Nope. Molina's most impressive loss was to Wilder, as he was more competitive than anyone though he would be.
    Price usually just gets slaughtered, but against Povetkin he at least landed a good left hook. Big improvement for the fragile one.
