    Ye I agree. McCaskill too experienced for Price, quite a step up.

    Don’t know if it’s just me but I expect Price to win this fight easy. Top amateur with much better fundamentals. McCaskill is wild and looks visibly aged. Expect a schooling. Easy UD

    Risky for sure but I dunno, women's boxing is still in it's infancy and we saw in MMA each following generation of fighters were far superior to the previous one, seeing the best utterly destroyed by upcoming fighters from the next generation of fighters. You had the first wave come from non sporting backgrounds, the next wave coming from a varied sporting background at an early age, then the final wave of women having being trained in MMA from the start at an early age.

    McCaskill didn't have a sporting background to my knowledge and took up boxing to get fit at age 24, so represents that first wave of female boxers. Price in contrast comes of a sporting background of football and kickboxing at an early age and started boxing at 17 and so represents the 2nd wave of female boxers. We know the younger you start training in sport, especially the sport you compete at, the greater ceiling of potential you have.

    So I wouldn't be shocked at all if not only Price won but did so easily. But then years from now when we have young female boxers who have trained as boxers from the start of their sporting careers, you'll likely see Price also be utterly dominated by the next wave of upcoming female boxers as female boxing finally reaches a truly high level of professionalism with far greater depth.
