Last week, UK's David Price made his pro debut. He represented the UK in the Olympics as a superheavyweight, winning the bronze medal in Beijing. Considering how bad everyone is reaching for 'the next big thing' at heavyweight (and considering that he's promoted by Mr. Loudmouth himself David Haye), expect to hear a lot of hype about this guy. He has okay speed for a tall fighter, but he doesn't get particularly good extension on his punches, and he looks very awkward for someone with such a good amateur pedigree. Watching him, his style reminds me a lot of Carl Froch, just without the power.

Part 2 is here

Sad that a fight like this went long enough to get to a part 2. KO is around the 7 minute mark of the second part.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

Early Days..

Time for him to grow into the professional role.
Tyson Fury is calling this guy out constantly saying that he is chinny and wont win titles even on a domestic level. Price been saying Fury is a fat bastard and lazy. These two were shit talking before getting paid to take a punch.

When it does happen down the line. It sure will be interesting.

Fury's style is more suited to the professional side of the sport;

Fury didn’t fit as an amateur, Price doesn’t fit as a pro.

Boxing is the beginning of all sports. I'm willing to bet that the first sport was a man against another man in a fight. (Omar Epps)

I think Fury may need to work on his skills a bit

…it’s bad enough having your opponent throwing punches at you :)

Tyson Fury fights this saturday night. Fighting Mathew Ellis (20-6). Looking at his record he was a prospect turned bad. Has loses to Enzo Maccarinelli and Audley Harrison on his record (Both TKO in R2).
 
Here Fury tests his own chin when his opponent is unwilling.

I've seen that about 20 times now

and it still makes me laugh every time. I love how he actually knocked the spit out of his mouth, like he had no idea it was coming.
