RE: Heavyweight Division - African Monkey - 12-19-2018 (12-19-2018, 08:08 AM)Steven Wrote:(12-18-2018, 09:43 AM)diehard Wrote: This is potentially the last throw of the dice for Price after a difficult 2018 and the 2008 Olympic bronze medallist plans on taking out Little in style to set-up some huge Heavyweight contests next year. Yes every fight is his last throw of the dice. Ironic after he quit against Kuzmin. RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-20-2018 Little: I’m mentally stronger than Price Heavyweight Tom Little says he is mentally tougher than David Price and is planning on taking the Liverpudlian giant to ‘deep and dark places’ to get the win. Little and Price clash on the undercard of Dillian Whyte’s rematch with Derek Chisora at The O2 in London this Saturday. Like Little, Price has suffered back-to-back defeats in 2018. He was brutally stopped by Alexander Povetkin after initially flooring the Russian last March and then a fight against Sergey Kuzmin in September was cut short when Price suffered an injury. Little believes Price is vulnerable and plans on taking full advantage when they meet over eight rounds. “I’m mentally stronger than David,” said Little. “He’s going to let his last couple of defeats get to him whereas I’m just eager to put them behind me and move on. I’m willing to go to them deep and dark places to get the win. “There are weaknesses there to be exposed. I can categorically say that this fight won’t go the distance. I’ve got the engine of a train and I won’t stop going. When I fought Filip Hrgovic I was getting better as the rounds went on, but I got cut. Never at any point was I gassing.” He fought rising Heavyweight talent Daniel Dubois in his last outing at The O2 in June and took the Peacock Gym giant five rounds despite breaking his hand in the opening session, and knows he may have to show the same heart to get past Price “David has the skill-set and the physique to stand me on my head,” added Little. “But I’ve got a heart bigger than David’s. There will never be any quit in me. Who wants it more? That’s the difference between me and him. I am willing to go to places that David has nightmares about. “Against Daniel Dubois, I broke my hand in four places in the first round but I would never, ever say: ‘I’m done’. I believe that if you do it once you will do it again.” A shot at a title could be the reward for Little if he upsets the odds against Price on Saturday but he also knows the ramifications for the loser of the fight. “This is a game of hearts, and you have to put it on the line. Sometimes you have to bite down and go to lace that you don’t want to go. I’ve done that a couple of times. It ain’t all roses, honey and cuddles in the trenches. You have to fight your way out. “This is a winnable fight. People expect me to get banged out but I’ve done rounds with David, and I know this is close. David doubts himself. I think his last couple of losses have taken a lot out of him and if the going gets tough he won’t want to know.” Main event sees fierce Heavyweight rivals Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora rematch after their Fight of the Year contender in December 2016. Charlie Edwards gets a second shot at a World title when he challenges Cristofer Rosales for the WBC Flyweight World title, rising Croydon star Joshua Buatsi defends his WBA International Light-Heavyweight title against tough Australian Renold Quinlan, British Featherweight Champion Ryan Walsh puts his Lonsdale belt on the line against Watford’s Reece Bellotti, with Ipswich Heavyweight Fabio Wardley and Nigerian Middleweight Linus Udofia also featuring on the undercard. RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-20-2018 Does anybody care??? Cronulla Sharks captain Paul Gallen to fight former rugby league player John Hopoate Cronulla Sharks captain Paul Gallen will return to the boxing ring in February next year. Gallen has an 8-0 record, while ex-NRL star Hopoate, who hasn't fought since March 2010, has a 12-5 log. The pair will meet as part of the Star of the Ring Charity Fight Night at Hordern Pavilion on February 8. The announcement of the bout comes just weeks after All Black Sonny Bill Williams laughed off Gallen's public calls for the pair to do battle in the ring. Gallen, hasn't fought since a unanimous decision win over former Fiji league international Puna Rasaubale, last year. Former NRL player John Hopoate will be looking to back up his recent words thrown at Paul Gallen. The 37-year-old had recently knocked back the chance to fight Hopoate in November as he was still recovering from a shoulder injury which he carried through the end of the NRL season. That rejection had seen Hopoate 44, publicly slam the former NSW State of Origin captain, telling The Sunday Telegraph last month Gallen was "a coward" "He talks up a big show, he accepted the fight and now they're telling me he won't sign the contract. Either sign the contract or retire from boxing," Hopoate had said. "He knows what's happening if he jumps in the ring with me, that he's getting knocked out, and that's why he's running scared and won't sign." Stuff RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-20-2018 Looks like Whyte/Chisora is on Sky Arena on Sunday (NZ time) afternoon at $35. Not a great undercard. No thank you! Was hoping it was on Sky Pop Up for free, but no. Sorry.

Here’s what they had to say: Dereck Chisora: “I can’t afford the judges. I will pound him, hit him, pound him, hit him…this isn’t a risky fight for me. I will take what’s his, and make it mine.” Dillian Whyte: “He won’t be pounding me. There’s levels to this thing. I’m improving with every fight. Derek will see how strong I am. I’m used to people trying to get into my head, I don’t think even Derek himself knows what he is doing.” RE: Heavyweight Division - shamrock - 12-21-2018 Go Chisora RE: Heavyweight Division - mippy - 12-22-2018 Yeah - I'd love Chisora to win RE: Heavyweight Division - African Monkey - 12-22-2018 (12-20-2018, 10:35 PM)diehard Wrote: Looks like Whyte/Chisora is on Sky Arena on Sunday (NZ time) afternoon at $35.

RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-22-2018 Oh, I confess. I bought it. Mrs D got it for me for Christmas. Must admit I'm really looking forward to it. Not so much for the undercard, but hope I'm wrong. Yes, go CHISORA! |
