    Should be a pretty poor affair with Sexton looking to survive and fight as negatively as possible while Price struggles to land his shots and is as cautious as ever.

    Price UD

    Sexton doesnt really deserve hes shot at the British title and price is gonna smash him into another dimension.

    Frank Maloney won purse bids? Who promotes Sexton? I know he was on a Franie W bill last, has he lost another purse bid?

    Well for a start he didnt even beat the bodybuilder clearly in fact that fight could of gone either way until the bodybuilder got cut.

    For me Sprott should be fighting Price and Towers v Sexton in an eliminator:bbb

    On paper it sounds good and looks like a step up. In reality it is utterly meaningless and will not test Price in ANY way. Sexton is a guy who likes to box, he likes to jab and he has decent skills but without much pop and an average chin.

    Price has a better jab with a huge reach and height advantage and hits hard. It will be over whenever Price decides to start letting his hands go.

    What would test Price is a durable come forward fighter who throws volume and has decent stamina. Price still looks unsure when the range is closed and lets lesser fighters get inside by simply standing and not popping out the jab with enough regularity.

    Give him a tough pressure fighter who does not hit too hard and you will see him taken out of his comfort zone and have to adapt.

    Sexton will get sparked inside 4 rounds.

    Can you get tickets for this yet?

    On the frank maloney website you can 'add' tickets but there's no checkout options to actually pay for them :patsch

    :deal

    It could be great for building the hype around Price but pretty rubbish for his development.
