Price v Sexton...

I don't get why people are knocking Price for the hype he's receiving, the man himself is as realistic and honest as they come in his interviews and knows that his opponents to date haven't been a great indication of how far he will go. However, what can be said is that he's looking better in every fight he's having when stepping it up bit by bit and that seems to indicate nice progress.

As well as coming across as quite humble and as a realist, he's showing more sensibility by realising the value in getting in quality sparring as a prospect. Haye, Chisora, Pulev, a Klitschko too maybe? Can't quite remember. But anyway the point stands that he's taking the right approach with his career.

People hoping he loses and wanting him to fail really surprises me as he seems to be a top professional and someone who'd represent the sport well if he got to the top. I don't see what he can do to stop people getting excited on the Internet and expecting him to be the next big thing.

As regards to Saturday, I don't see any way in which Sexton can win it. Price just seems to be better and is stylistically ideally suited to take advantage of Sexton's weaknesses. I don't see an early knockout and could see it going to a decision but no chance of Sexton winning for me. I'd say mid-late stoppage but then I thought McDermott would last longer with Price so who knows I could be wrong again and it could be early.

 

Great post.

 

Price in the 1st half of the fight, probably stick a 5er on it if the odds are appealing

 

Solis:good

 

:good that's the one I was looking for mate . Worth its weight in gold that sparring at this stage in my opinion.

 

Definitely mate, you going on sat

 

Price within 5, Sexton won't be able to take the power, gonna be a brutal, statement sending performance.

 

No I'm not unfortunately mate, still here in Spain. Don't know when I'm back yet. Would've been a good bill to go to though, shame the Williams-Theophane fight is off though.

 

yea and now the Dickinson fight is as well :-(

i'm going up on the Friday for 2 nights and a good lash up:nut

 

Has it? That's a shame too. Well, hope you have a good time there mate, I'm sure you will :good

 

I've got a feeling about this fight....like Mand says I think that Price miight just have his hands full. Sexton for the shock as I'm desperate to see how Price goes down, in one, timber style or in stages like a collapsing building :think

 

I think he'd either go straight down flat out ala Lewis - Rahman 2 or he'd crumple like a sack of ****.

 

:think I'd go for timber style.

 

I really can't work it out myself....I've got a feeling that his legs will stiffen like rigor has set in and he won't actually go down as such, a bit like Frank, but they'll need a sack barrow to get him out of the ring still stood up but out of it.

My wife is a clinical psychologist and when she saw Price, without prompting said that he didn't look durable.....something to do with his head set up, plasticity or localisation or some such ****. I said so basically its because he looks like a mong. After bollocking me for dropping the "M" bomb she sort of agreed. At some point this man is going down and it will be epic, my wife guarantees it :thumbsup
