Fury vs Price. How have there last 2 fights changed your opinion on the outcome?

Fury ko still from day one, if Price knocked Fury down if Fury gets up he will survive
If Fury lands any shot on Price he's not getting up
I dont see Price landing a perfect shot on Fury to get him out for the 10 count, if anything Fury gets up and is wobbly but he has a good guard and will clinch to survive

 

I agree with posters who said that Fury's temperament is an issue. He is a better boxer than he showed against Cunningham. If he can't stay focused in a small fight in the Garden then he will have problems moving up to a bigger stage in coming fights. I feel that when Peter Fury gets back in his corner we will see a more focused performance from him.

I don't think he would take Haye or Price as lightly as he took Cunningham. Although he boxed poorly he made it a scrap and Cunningham, for all his movement skills, couldn't cope with the onslaught. I agree with posters who say Cunningham is out his depth at heavyweight.

Is he a ko waiting to happen? I think in the current heavyweight scene all the top contenders are vulnerable. Time will tell if Fury can develop a better defence. At least we will see some interesting fights while he is around.

 

I am just as interested as I was before. Would rather see Price fight Chisora and Fury fight Haye in an epic north v south night of british HW boxing.

The south would win hands down.

 

Price got very badly stopped and his diabolically bad chin was finally proven to those that didn't accept that it was most likely the case. He was barely hit at all and he was sliding around the ring like Bambi on ice.

Fury walked onto an almost perfect hayemaker and had the glaring hole in his defence (overhand rights) exposed again. The difference is that Fury got up on pretty steady legs, he recovered very quickly and looked embarrassed more than anything else. Price on the other hand looked woefully vulnerable and displayed next to no recuperative powers.

The other issue here is that Fury's weakness is clearly his defense to overhand rights and his gung-ho attitude (which exacerbates his particular defensive hole). Fury doesn't ever seem particularly troubled by straight shots, and neither Price nor Wlad are known for their overhand rights, so Fury's last fight doesn't reveal as much as people would like to think that it did.

Wlad would beat Fury right now simply because of the overall gulf in class, and I don't think it will be that competitive until Wlad slows down enough nullify his exceptional footwork and control of distance, which currently hides his only real weakness very well.

Haye is potentially an absolute shocker of a match up for Fury, Haye would land multiple overhands rights of much greater power than Cunningham, and he is far more elusive so Fury wouldn't land anything of note unless Haye tired mid-rounds. Fury should avoid that fight, I expect Haye to land hard enough and often enough to stop it long before he tires.

As for Price, he doesn't like being roughed up and I don't think he would be able to stop Fury without getting stopped himself - I would bet on Fury every time given the evidence of their recent fights.

 

:good Spoken like a true Pro.. This is exactly how I see it

 

Good post

 

Price. Fury is far too easy to hit.

 

I think price needs to show back performance like furys against kingpin first, until then I favour fury.

 

I had an ominous feeling for Fury during the walkout and first round of the Cunningham fight, his mental state was all over the place, I think that punch knocked some sense into him, when Fury let his hands go he did look good. Were people expecting Cunningham to not give Fury any problems whatsoever?

 

Whoever lands the first clean punch wins. Price has more power but Fury has the better chin.

 

Steve Cunningham from Saturday would have beaten the Tony Thompson that beat David Price.
