    1) He had iron chinned Povetkin in fight or flight mode.
    2) He was a whisker away from knocking out Povetkin.
    3) Povetkin is an accurate, heavy handed puncher.

    I don't see whyte holding up like povetkin did.

    Hearn should seriously think of building up big pricey v2 on the domestic scene instead of treating him like a journey man and putting him in with euro level+ wolves.

    He's an exciting fighter who'll bring a lot of value to their cards. Let's be honest, him vs povetkin saved the card on saturday night and pricey especially deserves a bonus.

    edit: priceisback is banned but now we've all got a bit of him/her in us lol.

    I think it would be similar,but a few rounds later.
    Pricey always has a chance,with that power though.

    No way man.

    Price always leaves himself open, and is defensively always going to leave openings. Even when you drill into him the basics he always loses concentration during the fight, as you can see from the punch that Povetkin landed that ended the fight...

    Before that for the earlier knock down he dropped his right hand- something he would have drilled into him not to do over and over and over again.

    Whyte would take a more cautious approach than Povetkin and show Price more respect, but it would be the same result.

    Whyte KO win within 5 rounds

    Nah his defence wasn’t great.. no real skill it was just tuck up and hope for the best

    Whytes body shots would have been soooo easy to hit when price was tucked up

    No one would bet their worth on Price not doing a number on Whyte. It seems daft but after Povetkin he is still an unknown test for someone cos he has that punch power.

    Wow, that fight would just be sad.

    Several years back, and people thought they'd be fighting to unify world titles.

    Yes Price looked OK'ish for 4 rounds, well better than he has looked for a long time but he was brutally knocked out.

    He was dropped before the KO, that knockdown has been forgotten.

    As for Povetkin getting a count, it was correct, ropes helped him stay upright but I thought Povetkin was more off balance than actually hurt, he looked OK to me even though Sky Comms made it sound he was completely out on his feet.

    Price was hit, he shut down, he was basically knocked out standing up, Price is domestic level at best in my opinion.

    Whyte would give him a slower beating but it would still be a beating.

    A well-known British fighter fighting in front of a huge British crowd with a British referee. Price almost blasted Povetkin out of the ring, where the hell was the British stoppage??

    Look, Price looked as good as he has for a long time. But I think some of this is being overstated. Povetkin wasn't stumbling around out on his feet. He took a count but his legs looked fine and he seemed plenty clear headed. I agree with N17, as much a balance thing as anything else. I think it was Froch in the next round saying "He still doesn't look right to me!" as Povetkin was casually teeing off on Price at will.
