    I thought Dimitrenko was Povetkin's son for a second there lol.

    This fight should never go ahead its a farce, you have a massive puncher in David Price, in with a much smaller guy in Alexander Povetkin. This is very dangerous fight for Povetkin

    Size only matters when the fighter is on the same level. Price is several levels below Povetkin. Povetkin will tire Price out and break him.

    ill have you know that right hand FINALLY ended all hope Audley Harrison had of becoming world champion. Something literally no one else in world boxing was capable of.

    I don't buy into the exaggerated weak chin myth, if matched properly he can KO couple of Heavyweights and Cruisers who think they want to go try Heavyweight. Especially for Cruisers, David Price is the best test and Perfect Gate Keeper of the Heavyweight division, they get Price first with two outcomes only a Euphoric entry into the Heavyweight division or Violent Stoppage once they taste the Heavyweight brute

    Povetkin is as good on the inside as any heavyweight I've seen, but if Price has the one punch power he is supposed to have, it will be a dangerous fight in the early rounds for Povetkin. Anybody can get caught, especially by a guy who is a "different" type fighter. Price is different by being so big.

    I expect Povetkin to get inside and wear Price down, but Price is a giant with a big punch, a good amateur background, and the desperation of knowing this might be his last shot at the big time. Povetkin has looked good in the fights I've seen, Takam, Perez, Wach, and Duhaupas, and I expect him to win this one, but the fight is high risk.

    David Price is a 6′ 8″ tall 260lbs package of Semtex, if he is around be very very careful, all it takes is one tilt and you will be in Nirvana

    Yep, a 6-8, 260 pounder with a big punch and the type of amateur background Price had is never a walkover. With a guy like that the potential is always there for an upset.

    His team has to ignore the Nay-Haters...Keep him active, all it takes is a few punches and he will be in for a Title fight, where he can also win by KO of course. Boxers are supposed to be exciting to watch, he doesn't need that much velocity, because he has the frame and APEX-Predator psyche he will always do damage when the momentum is going his way. Win or Loss vs Povetkin he should go immediately after Oquendo-Charr winner, take the WBA lesser belt and then march against Wilder-Joshua-Parker winner

    Price has legit power, but is very slow, poor stamina, and a sucker for the overhand right. He also isn't very durable. When Povetkin goes to work on Price's body I doubt Price will last long.

    Stiverne landing overhand rights at will on Price.

    Thompson easily figured Price out.

    Thompson in the rematch went to work on Price's body and beat the fight out of him.

    This was one of the funniest things I saw. Price just getting so tired barely able to stand was hilarious.
