A name associated with not throwing a punch against David Haye.

correct.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Mon Jul 23, 2012 6:34 pm  

Price v Harrison makes sense.....Price wants to earn a Lonsdale belt, so a defence against Harrison, then, if successful, against Chisora, is an obvious plan.

As for the bout itself, Price should win, and if he is as good as I and many think he is, then he should do it comfortably inside the distance.....However, with Harrison there is always that air of unpredictability and that he might just turn up with a bit of heart and make a fight of it.

The thing you could never deny with Harrison is/was that he is technically a decent boxer - He is just frightened to death of being hit and has little idea of what to do when tagged.

Logic says Price comfortably inside 4 rounds, but you feel that this could be the time when we discover if Price has a chin to take a half decent shot.

Price with plenty to spare inside 4 rounds IMHO. The man has a bloody sledgehammer in that right hand, moves better than Audley, is willing to get in range (unlike Audley) and is bigger. Bar a miracle left hand haymaker from Harrison (which he will have to throw first, if it has any chance of connecting!) Price will see him off.

Tony Bellew to fight Edison Miranda on 8/09/12. Darren Barker will headline the bill.

Bellew has signed a 1 fight deal with Matchroom until his dispute with Warren is resolved.

I see Price has moved to boxnation after sky tried to get Maloney to start co-promoting him with Eddie Hearn.I might have to subscribe to Boxnation in the future as it seems that Sky's interest in Boxing isn't what it used to be.

50 Cent has formed his own promotional company, TMT promotions (The Money Team). He's obtained a liscense in New York and has just about got one in Nevada. He's already signed Andre Dirrell up, and Maywether is expected to sign when he gets released. Gamboa is also rumoured to be signing with him.

Interesting times ahead.

Wow Groves has got a good dig on him. He comes to fight every time, he may be better served counterpunching off the back foot, but he is certainly entertaining to watch!
