    This Saturday.

    I have Price by KO, around the fourth or fifth round.

    :fightme:

    I still think Price's perceived punching power (say that 10x fast!) is a bit of a mirage.

    He should do enough to win, perhaps by late KO. McDermott just isn't very good at all, but for the most part is capable of going rounds.

    I say Price by late KO or wide UD

    Price should win it and he might even make pretty short work of it (I think McDermott doesn't have much left). That being said, in the ammys Price was useful only from long distance, he couldn't cope with sharp attacks at all and he doesn't have much inside game either. McDermott should be slow and simple enough for him but don't be surprised if Price crumbles at close

    Please tell me this is on the Boxnation!!!

    Sky Sports.

    The trend I see from BoxNation is that the only non-Frank Warren fights that air on the network are major title fights.

    Derry Matthews' fight tomorrow is on BoxNation

    and damn, why is it that I'm telling you what's on in your area? Shouldn't you be telling us?!

    Yeah I know :lol:

    Truth be told- the only major reason I went for BoxNation was for the Cotto vs Marg fight, without that, I might have let it slide, and I am glad I didn't though.

    McDermott, if he is as finished as I think he is, will take a major kip tomorrow if and or when Price catches him clean with the big right hand. Price is about as fluid as tepid molasses, so who knows, maybe Chubby McD can bustle on in there and win some rounds, only a matter of time before he gets timed I fear...:popcorn:

    BoxNation has a nice little line up, though. Seems like they're airing a major fight nearly every weekend beginning with Hernandez-Cunningham II next month and loaded all the way through the end of March.

    Well they had better :lol: Its $15 per month over here...I expect my moneys worth.

    I'd gladly pay that over what I;m currently paying for the channels I have for no other reason than its (sparse) boxing content.

    Price/McDermott next.

    Anyone see McDermott buckle trying to enter the ring? :atu:

    All over. Three knockdowns in no time at all. Worry for Price though, vulnerable to an overhand right.
     
  15. who?

    who? Undisputed Champion

    I'm not sure if he'll take a big punch, plus he's wide open

    He won't take a biggie. I figured right on this fight, for once. :lol:

    Not sure how long this will stay up for but there it is. McDermott is shot, Price has a good right hand, not much more to say about it really.

    Price - Fury needs to be made.

    Fury is huntin rabbit tonight with his lurchers. When he gets back, he'll visit his dad in Wormwood Scrubs and discuss his options. No doubt John will dispense sound advice in a rational fashion that doesn't involve shouting or emotive behaviour.. :bs:

    Its a complex matchup. I don't think Fury is the sort who will go over and out with just one shot. Fury has flaws but when he is that big, and that awkward, he can beat guys on size alone. Price has a bad chin, I think thats for certain but Fury, whilst he can reach him and hit him, isn't a massive puncher either. He's beating up guys who are much smaller, wearing them down.

    It's intriguing, in a lower-level, fringe sort of way.
