Price vs Skelton moved again
by Union Cane Mon 22 Oct 2012, 12:29 pm
Price vs Skelton will now take place on Friday (yes, Friday) 30th November.
Seems a strange move, especially as Tyson Fury is facing his top five ranked as yet un-named opponent the day after.
Could be a masterstroke though, another hugely impressive KO from Price could set Fury off again, distracting him from his own fight and potentially derailing his whole career.
Is Maloney that clever?

Would be funny to see how tyson performs should the expected KO happen, and you can bet that Price will be in the crowd on the saturday

It will definitiely provide a distraction to Fury, so yes, he probably is that machiavellian!. However, Skelton could always ruin the party. Unlikely, but possible. It plays on the idea of Fury being a little bit mentally suspect. Not difficult to assume this given his antics over the past week and some admissions from him much earlier (12 months ago?) over depresson etc. Mind you, it may scupper the chance of a lucrative fight down the line should it sink Fury.

Great move by the Price camp, for all the above mentioned reasons. Like a bit of pyschological warfare, if they really want to up the anty they should try get hold of seats to Fury's match on the sat so they can sit ringside and call him out.
All very WWF, love it!

If Price sits ringside the following night expect a riot.

I was thinking about this the other day and it worries me, you know.
When Fury got put on his backside by Neven Pajkic, his fans (family?) looked about ready to tear the arena to pieces. The same in the Chisora fight whenever fat Dereck started putting some pressure on him. I can well imagine that when he gets beaten, they might kick off big time in the seats.

Fury has already showed that Price has got to him, and given his reaction on the degale card, price being ringside will freak him out
He is an angry man and you can expect there to be some conflict
Imagine if Price, Maloney and Bellew are in the crowd, guaranteed exposure and hype

You're right, but I don't think that's Price's style, and nor does it really suit his personality. I think they'll leave Fury to his business and let him do all the talking. Price is riding the crest of the wave in terms of how public opinion is split between him and Fury just now, with himself certainly on top, so I doubt he'll do anything to jeopardise that.

Why would they want to derail Tyson. They risk losing a big money fight. Playing games doesn't pay the bills.
WHat if he freaks out (unlikely) and loses. Do you think that is what Price/Maloney really want?

If I was Price or Maloney I would just drop the thought of fighting Fury.
Push him to get the fights against the Europeans... Helenius or Pulev (the new EBU champ). Fury can keep feeding off no-name US fighters and would just have to watch Price gain reckognition and leave Fury behind.
The fact is, I honestly don't think they need each other as much as it's made out. Instead, they should try and develop and go up the ranks, fight later if need be. Besides, Fury had his chance to defend his British Titles but chose to run off to Ireland to win a belt out there.

They would still fight somewhere down the line, but it would put Price in the position of being able to dictate terms, which I would think is exactly what Price/Maloney want.
It's probably all irrelevant anyway, I was just trying to work out why Price would fight on a Friday.
Perhaps there's horses there on the Saturday, I don't know.

Price had the chance to fight Fury but ducked out. Want to go with this again?

Why on earth is Price fighting a 45 year old journeyman anyway? at least Fury has fought one or two fighters of reasonable quality and is 6 years younger, any idea who his next opponent will be? if he win's it he'll be one of the first in line to fight for the WBC title when Vitali retires. Sensing a Wlad vs Fury fight in 2014?

I'm sorry Azania, but didn't you read the rest of it?
Send them both up the ranks and have a fight when it's more beneficial. Not rocket science is it? Besides, Price WAS the mandatory for Fury and Fury relinquished his titles... I'm not directly saying who ducked who, but I'm pretty certain that's exactly what happened.
MY thoughts are that Price/Maloney should forget about domestic fights now after Skelton. Get him in there with the Euro-level fighters - get him in there with Helenius who isn't a big puncher but has the name or Pulev who has the EBU belt. There'll be more to fight for down the line.
Leave Fury to develop in his own time.

As pointed out on another thread, the combined age of Fury's last four opponenents is even higher the Price's. Agree I'd like to see Price challenged more (actually think Skelton is a more credible fight than Audley) but let's not kid ourselves that Fury has been challenging himself at all either. Fury has the best name on either CV - Chisora, but his four fights since have been even worse dross than what Price has been fighting putting away for fun.

2 Fights against 2 big names in British Heavyweight. Skelton still has a dig but it's to keep Price active. I'd rather see a prospect fight 4 times a year and stay as active as possible - no need to complain about it.
But can you imaging Fury getting a shot in 2013/14 (which is completely possible) - He'd have to go in with an improved Arreola (who I still rate) for the belt.

You mad man?
Helenius is one of the biggest punchers in the heavyweight division, he layed out Sam Peter and Lamon Brewster and probably would have done the same to Chisora is he hadn't injured his shoulder in the first round. Helenius is a risk Price will not take unless he has to.

I doubt that is correct. Audley is 41, Skelton is 45. Cant recall how old that Norwich farmer was and Fat Mac. I'm sure the comdined age is near on 150.
Fury's opponents post Chisora have been better than anything Price has fought. The best fghter in Price's resume is Audley

They both fight for different companies, so that's the more likely reason the fight didn't go ahead. All this talk of one ducking the other is plain rubbish.
I agree that they should fight when something tangible is on the line. Fury will defend his WBC belt against Price just for domestic consumption as Price would have been stopped by then.
