HF has a decent chin and Pryce landing something big is his only real hope as Mr Negative will probably pot shot his way to a dull points win.
Price by KO early. If we are referring to a prime Price here then we are referring to the animal that knocked McDermott and Harrison out in 1 round. Dallas and Skelton in 2 rounds and Sexton in 4. Hughie hasn’t gone beyond domestic level in his entire career, so it’s fair to say Price stop Hughie early. Also I am not sure I buy him being so unbelievably elusive as when he thinks he is fighting at below world level he does take more risks and does get clipped. That would be his undoing here.
The Skirt would dance around the ring stretching his right arm once every 3 rounds and claim he was World Champion at the end of the fight. Price should simply stand in a corner and let the Skirt have it when he comes close. Price KO for me.
This still has to rank as one of the best performances from any of the Fury clan. This content is protected Ironically, at this point in time, I’d have backed Price to take out Tyson. Strange to say now, but back then, the power, pedigree, and momentum all looked like they were tilting in his favour. Before the chin got exposed and the pressure cracked him, Price looked like the future — and Tyson still had questions over his engine, his temperament, and whether the awkwardness would ever become dominance. Funny how quickly the heavyweight landscape changes — and how differently it could’ve all played out.
In a perverse way actually quite an intriguing matchup; a fighter with no chin but great power, and a fighter with a great chin but no power. If I had to I would probably back Price in his pomp; a fight like this does not belong on PPV, rather it should be on the Discovery channel as an exercise in science.
I don’t think he’d be able to box that way agaisnt Price without getting caught. Price is a very good boxer himself and Hughie’s pace wouldn’t exactly trouble him. Price could win on points or ko.
Was very close to that. Seats are very close to ring in there. The buzz around him was great. If only Thompson had stayed down for one more second in that second fight. It was him losing that, that ruined his confidence and caused all that draining of energy in future fights.
Shades gets some grief on here but he's a tidy boxer and tough man. Still think Pea Head's superior fundamentals would be enough for him to take it on the cards, possibly rocking Shades a few times who would then use all his tricks to survive it
