Pryce/Hall & Elcock/Macklin - Analysis

I'll get on this when I get a few moments in the next couple of days.... initially i'm favouring Pryce and Macklin. I think Macklin is just a better fighter all round then Elcock, its a tough one but I think Macklin has the variety and power to score a mid to late stoppage. Hall-Pryce is a tough one for the main reason that Pryce can be so erratic. I've sparred with Hall a few times. He's very powerful and has excellent boxing skills for a percieved brawler. He's a banger too but Pryce has great experiance and a track record for digging deep in tough fights. He also has good boxing skills, under-rated power and good mobiliy. I think he might just be a bit too much for Hall and will stop him in the middle rounds.

 

Hall TKO
Macklin UD for me

Pryce i think has made a mistake coming off a long break to fight a guy like hall who i think will catch him a bit rusty and get him out early.

Macklin i think is just the better fighter.

 

I got Hall UD and Macklin TKO.

Not convinced with Elcock yet, he's stil living to an extent off that win over Howard Eastman.

I just don't rate Pryce at all. He's been inactive for a while aswell.

 

Concepcion is awful though. I've seen sand castle's sturdier than his chin.

 

Havn't seen the Concepcion TKO over Hall but going by that it cant be to great. What i have seen of hall though i cant fault his chin.

 

I'm hoping his chin will hold up. Haven't seen the Concepcion fight so I can't say what went on, whether it was his chin that let him down, maybe he just got caught with the perfect shots, maybe his stamina let him down or it was a BS stoppage I don't know.

 

Didn't know it was the 1st round.

It did look a bit premature yeah, probably should of seen if he went down first and stopped it if he looked in trouble getting up, or let it stop on account of the 3 knockdown rule.

I can't really say given I don't really know how to rate Concepcion's power. I mean the 1st KD he was caught with a good left hook, and shook it of pretty well, didn't look visibly hurt. The second KD he clearly was, but again it was a good shot, very nice straight right but again I don't really know how to rate Concepcion's power so.

 

Conception is pretty heavy handed at that level and sometimes fighters get caught cold. On the other hand who knows what version of Pryce will turn up?

 

Small isn't all that in my book but I guess the best version of Pryce beats the best version of Hall.

If pressed I'd take Hall and Macklin.
