Really want this to come off for Fred. Don't want his amazing cricket career to be overshadowed by one failure in a boxing ring. Lets hope that he puts up a good fight.
Fair play to him for doing the training etc but an amateur would look daft not knowing how to throw a straight right. Got no idea what the two minute rounds were about but it sold a lot of tickets and hopefully he will retire undefeated
Carts we have both said it shows real bollox to get in the ring and do it
But this should've been an amateur fight or a white collar fight
How can it be pro with 2 min rds
And to be honest better technique will be shown in towns across the land tonight from drunks
They have had him for 4 months I refuse to believe he is not throwing that way in sparring
It has detracted from David price tonight and that is not good for British boxing
It's disrespectful to pricey
We have reached a new low I haven't laughed that much since the khan vs Prescott fight and sky kept showing the replay in super slow mo and khans ear wobbles so much I weren't sure that it never slapped him on the chin to knock him over
Agree with both Carter & NLA, it was a circus from start to finish, quite how the BBoC sanctioned & gave him a licence is beyond me, makes a mockery of the sport and for BoxNation to bill it as a main event over a British Heavyweight title fight is a joke.
David Price looked embarrassed to even talk about it, it was like Gervais v Bovey a few years back - celebrity boxing.

Although I laughed it has pissed me off
thats my main gripe with it. should never in a million years been after the price fight. 1st or 2nd on the card, fine. but to have price giving his opinion on it after his fight. a joke to say the least
Yeah, it's a shame my Facebook news feed was full of people talking about a cricketer and not how well Bradley Saunders or price boxed. But it's always the same. Unless you follow boxing you might as well be talking to aliens. Ask one of your mates who had an opinion on flintoff how they see lee Haskins, or how gutted they were John Murray v Rees was cancelled. They won't have a clue what you are on about
Price is very, very good and will win a world title but will have no one credible to defend it against.
I'd like to see price and his peers start going over to America and taking some risky fights
same here. i get the impression he's not got the confidence to go and make it happen though. he'll probably demolish fury sometime soon and keep talking about the klitschkos but unless he goes for it soon, he's gonna miss the boat
Flintoff/Dawson was described on the radio as being a late night 'cab rank scrap' - very accurate. Fair play to Flintoff, but a pro boxer..........never.

Fury fights tomorrow
Maloney just offered fury 650 k to fight
I think it's a piss take 2 min rds but wants to be a pro
What a piss take of a great noble art and sport
I can't believe that the British boxing board have sanctioned such shite
It should've been on WWE
But this should've been an amateur fight or a white collar fight

Anyway, what do we think if Fury tomorrow night?

An American who has fought at world title level
Then they want Fury in June
Then they pricey fighting for a title in October / November time
Saunders looked classy from fist to last rd supremely fit but lacked a bit of power
Fighter of the night for me was vassel not only did he look like a fighter and was chiseled from granite
For someone who has been out a year to finish like he did was top top draw
