Price v Chisora

Having watched a 45 year old skelton have success by getting close to price I reckon Chisora who is great at that would be able to do it better and in my view win.

Price looks good at range but as soon as the opponent gets close he seems to take punches, his defence is not great against pressure body hitting fighters.

So much success, he lasted at least 3 more minutes than Audley!

He landed so many punches on price. He was never going to win because he was 45 so it was inevitable that he would lose.

Don't see Chisora having any luck with Price, he may well be able to get in close but once there I doubt he has the power to trouble Price and he will take far too many on the way in. Am becoming less and less sold on Chisora, believe his reputation is in complete disproportion to his talent.

I think Chisora is a handful and nothing more. With some experience he could be decent. I think people are just looking for a solid fighter who can harry price and go the distance as well so they are chucking out chisora. Which is fair enough but I'd prefer someone like Chagaev or Povetkin.

I reckon a price v chisora fight would be similar to the helenius v chisora fight. I am a big fan of chisora and reckon he has the style to trouble price.

he has a fantastic chin so it could take some for price to get him out and chis could land one of his wild rights he likes throwing.

i still see price dealing with him without too much trouble due to the size difference.

Helenius is wild though and crude whereas price is quite fluid and possibly hits harder. Chisora was hit repeatedly by a by Vitalis right despite the injured shoulder - if he takes a couple of those from price he might not get back up.

Apart from the first 10 seconds I can't rmeber Skelton having any sort of success. He got inside once or twice but Price either hit him, tied him up or moved out of the way. He never got caugh ton the ropes and by the 2nd round had Skelton backing up

Chisora did well vs Vitlai but you would still struggle to give him more than 3 rounds as he didn't punch untill he was on the inside meaning he could get out worked

Helenius never impressed me and he doenst have the hand speed, jab or power of price and even he shook Chisora in the first round but injured his hand in the first so couldn't keep Chisora off him with only the jab for the rest of the fight

It'll be a good fight and if chisora comes in 240 it will be his best opponent to date and I think price will keep him on the jab and may even knock him out if Chisora opens ups

I gave the 1st round to skelton. whenever he put pressure price seemed unable to do anything. At 45 he was never going to be able to put 3 minutes of pressure a round so that is why I believe a young )hopefully in shape) chisora would put constant pressure.

i definetly saw chinks in the armour, and as ive said on another thread, the chisora who turned up against vitali beats price, more stylisticly than skill wise, and of course price could always land that big right hand.

On his night Chisora can be a handful, he bobs and weaves quite well, throws punches in bunches and has a good chin. On the other hand he's on a more or less four fight losing streak, would be at a considerable size disadvantage and has just been ko'd by a former cruiser in Haye who certainly doesn't hit as hard as Price. Price is doing well but the likes of Skelton & Audley are pretty miserable opposition - Chisora would be a bit more of a challenge and if he dispatched with Del Boy as easily as he's dispatched with everyone else then it'd be time to start taking him seriously.

It was a lot like Lennox vs Vitali in that sense then.

Skelton miles ahead 1-0 on the cards and then the ref stepped in. Lucky win for Price.

Or something like that.

Have you been drinking or something? Skelton was counted out and his corner threw in the towel.

No one is saying price got lucky but there should be a lot of concerns for price's camp. A 45 year old domestic level fighter managed to pressure him and land a lot of punches against him. Granted none of them (except maybe the punch in the forst 10 seconds of round 1) really hurt price but that has more to do with the fact Skelton at 45 is not going to have a lot of power etc. But the flaws are there for a better pressure fighter to exploit.

Based on your views that must happen to you a lot then. And who uses the word dolt as an insult hahaha next you will be calling me a vagabond or a strumpet haha get some better insults.

The last thing a boxer loses is his punch.

This is a wum article.............

Why does Derek "I'm a useless slob" Chisora deserve another paycheck???????

He's been slapped about enough now...........

It's like saying Tillis is good at something why not chuck him in with a young Tommy Morrison...

Go away with all this Chisora carp..

He's useless, he's fat and he's a loser........

No thanks.....................

I think victor, as the consummate WUM, was playing up to his idiocy by saying "Have you been drinking or something? Skelton was counted out and his corner threw in the towel" I think the joke is on you.

This is similar to what Jade goody did, pretended to be dumber than she was. God rest her soul.

Were you drinking last night, "pressure him and land a lot of punches" are you serious. "A lot of punches" you obviously don't watch a lot of Boxing if you think that skeltons 15 seconds burst contributed to a lot of punches.

Back on Chisora it shouldn't happen untill Chisora gets a couple wins as it'll be harder to sell given he has 4 losses in 5 fights no matter how tough those opponents were

Skelton landed more punches than price in that fight. A better fighter like chisora would capitalise on that and take full advantage. David Price cannot handle pressure fighters

Michael Dokes died earlier this year...dig him up and Chisora might nick a split decision against him...

He was right though, I had been drinking.

He cannot handle pressure fighters yet the only pressure fighters Price has faced have been taken out in 1 and 2 rounds. Jeez, I think I might change my WUM of the year vote...

Because he was facing a 45 year old domestic level pressure fighter. Put him in with somone a bit younger and he will struggle. Chisora would have a lot of success against him.

"Punches" Price didn't allow them to be full force, except the first 10 seconds when he suprised him, everything else was kept well under control and Price didn't do much wrong.

Haha anyone who insults another persons intelligence based on their boxing views has some serious issues. I believe you have a low intelligence because my views on boxing seem to be getting you angry and only someone with a low intellogence would get angry over another persons views on sport.

Very calm on the contrary, I mean the way you phrase things and formulate your opinions make you come across as... Simple. Then again you are most probably Waingro in disguise.

more punches then who?

Surely this has got to be a WUM article?

chisora will knock price out in two rounds.

just wondering Barry, what makes you come to that conclusion?

Anyone else you think would knock Price out in two rounds Barry? So far Fury and Chisora could do it, despite Fury or Chisora not having any great one punch power.

Barry Black - WUM

Its clear this is a bit of a joke comment.

Its worked though, im actually wound up!

Price would nail Fury and Chisora all week, 10 times out of 10.

i'd actually back chisora as i stated earlier. for the following reasons.

1. price has looked good so far but hasnt hit a live opponent.
2. skelton had early success pressuring price, until he was knocked into next week.
3. chisora has the chin to hang with price for a least the first half of the fight.
4. chisora despite his record copes well with tall fighters who use the jab. he beat (imo) helenius, gave vitali his best fight and was all over fury until his appaulling fitness kicked in.

im think price may become the real deal soon, but chisora seems to have the perfect style atm and i can see price under estimating him, although if i were chisora and still had ambitions i'd think twice about this fight, due to him facing the best he's on a losing streak that puts a lot of people off.

I'd like to see Chisora fight Price, purely to see if Price can put the rumours to bed that he struggles with pressure fighters. Skelton had about 30 seconds of success during the first round and that was about it, but that was because he rushed Price who wasn't expecting that kind of start.

The rumours?!?! Haha. Started by one WUM on this forum...

No Alex, have heard more than a couple of people believe he struggles with pressure fighters, rumours is probably the wrong word. Myth would be more accurate in my opinion.

what else would you expect skelton to fight like. he was allowed to get up close into firing range (granted he didnt really let his hands go but at 45 thats no suprise) and rough him up a little with the head and the elbows, thinking pressure fighters dont suit price maybe a little premature granted, and he might turn out to be the best in fighter out there- and would be unstoppable if thats the case, but in the small instance we've seen him under pressure he looked ackward.

I wouldn't say he looked awkward.

Considering his right hand that started the flurry to the body was from an inside position.....

But would be interesting to ser a "world" level operator like Del Boy rough him up.

Skelton and McDermott tried.....and failed.

alreet lads I reckons Fury will bang them both right up the pap pipe

Why would anyone be interested in this fight? Chisora is hopeless, even Haye knocked him out. Price is getting away with fighting nobodies. Dont be fooled by it.
