    wasn't shocked when it happened, although i didn't think tiger had it in him. great post fight interviews as well from the tiger. hope he gets it on with fury

    price can still become champion though, as he has that killer paralysing power. if he keeps his chin out of harms way and guns for the early kills who knock a lot of heavyweights out.

    This is what got him knocked out on saturday night,he needs to stop thinking he can knock everyone out in 2 rounds .... in the post fight interview he himself said though "I'll be back to knocking people out in a round or two" It's worrying,he clearly doesn't want to change.

    Thought Thompson actually had a look of amazement that Price had left himself so open whilst he unloaded to the body. Exactly the same move Price did once Skelton was hurt.

    Price could make up for his punch resistance with his size advantages, his lack of confidence though I feel will stop him. Still, after Fury being so classy on Twitter I'd love to see Tyson hang his chin out and Price land on it...

    I didn't see Thomson stopping Price at the beginning, but I did think he would slow the pace down and take rounds from the scouser. There's always been that risk of Price crumbling, but the most I'd have expected would be TT catching him out of position for a flash KD.

    What I did notice early on in the fight was the way Price's hands were out of position to defend against counters. He was so determined to splatter TT early doors, top Wlad's performance and make Fury look stupid that he wasn't thinking that TT might have ideas of his own.
