Just thinking here. You’ve got 4 unbeaten fighters sharing the belts at Super Middleweight, that would make a perfect season 3 for the Super Series.

Thought GGG was made to look quite ordinary there

Thank you bud.
Managed to find one earlier.
Golovkin has no chance of the trilogy with Canelo now in my opinion.  That needed to be convincing and it wasnt. Such a shame because he was brilliant a few years ago but it's done I think.

If Canelo makes the weight safely after his kovalev fight he will light up GGG in the trilogy.

Had it 114-113 for the other guy but no complaints about him winning

I thought it was very close.. perhaps SD shaded it, but the knock down saved GGG.
Canelo destroys him now but I just don't think its going to happen. 
Hang them up as a champion.  No shame at all. One of the best.

Triple G looked like he was "over the hill" that's why Canelo and Godlenboy are desperate to complete the trilogy.  This current Triple G loses easily to Canelo. But we all know he should've got the decision on both occasions previously.  8)

Yeah GGG is 2-0 in the series so far for me.  But the history books will show 0-3.

I know Price is a top red and has achieved so much in boxing. But whenever he tries to make a step up in quality it always ends badly for him. Hope he's getting a good pay day from this so he can retire properly.

I'm sure Price will be getting well paid. I think you can say the same about Chisora, plenty writing Price off on Twitter when it was announced but I think he's got a chance.

Price's chances rest on him being able to blast Chisora out quickly.  But no one really does that to Chisora, do they?

Price has a 90 second window to win, because for all his flaws he does hit really fucking hard. If he doesn't somehow land a money shot early he'll be knackered and knocked out brutally about 3 minutes later.

Price has to go all out for the first round. He wont be able to keep him at the end of the jab like with Allen and Chisora hits hard enough to quickly turn his lights off

Not sure what Orice gets from taking this fight with chisora. Even if he wins I don't see how it takes him to the next level.

If he loses he is done.

I can see why he was picked. Eddie Hearn likes him. Always comes in on short notice and fills a card.

Parker out, no title and neither anywhere near to one any time soon.

In terms of rankings they are actually pretty even (Price 8th in WBA and Chisora 9th in WBC)

Just dont want to see him getting sparked out cold again.

Chisora can probably take Price's best shots to be honest. His recent brutal KO of that Polish lad shows he still has power of his own. Price's best chance is if Bellend Boy has one of his 'can't be arsed' nights.

I see Price taking the sensible fights for his career rather than jumping into big fights for the most amount of money lasted long. Can’t say I blame him mind this will be his career payday. Just hope it doesn’t end badly.

Chisora if he "survives" the first round wins this pretty easily. Price has been done semi competitively for the last 4 years or so never mind trying to get near the top.

Is he Wolverine or something? Wow  :o I hope that is true; and I hope the lad wears his seatbelt from now on!

By the way, Usyk makes his heavyweight debut this weekend against Chazz Witherspoon. Witherspoon stepped in on Tuesday because Usyk's original opponent tested positive for drugs  ::) Anyway, should be a nice, soft introduction for him and I would expect a big step up in class in 2020.

Big chance that he goes straight after the winner of AJ v Ruiz, especially if it's Ruiz.

Seen the video of his crash on Youtube from a security camera from about 3-4 angles.

What a lucky lucky man to survive that.

You could say his conditioning and physique saved his life.
