WBC #9 heavyweight Derek Chisora (32-9, 23 KOs) scored a fourth round TKO over WBA #8 David Price (25-7, 20 KOs) on Saturday night at The O2 Arena in London. Chisora didn’t have any trouble getting inside and the fight was mostly fought at close quarters.
Price was rocked at the end of round three. Chisora then dropped Price with a short right hand to the side of the head in round four. Price beat the count and seemed OK, but his corner threw in towel. Time was 2:00. Chisora claimed the vacant WBO intercontinental title.
“I came to seek and destroy,” said Chisora afterward. “If I catch him, he’s gone…if we can get Joseph Parker a.s.a.p., I’m ready to go. I hope he doesn’t get another spider bite.”
Awful performance by Price, wasted talent!
Never attempted to use his reach or tuck his chin in.
Crazy!
What talent? Price was never going anywhere. Big Stiff from the beginning….
Darrel, you are right! Price fought like a C-rated fighter once he realized Chisora took him out of his game plan early in the fight. Price should consider hanging up his gloves since climbing back up to the upper deck will take a long time again. Chisora I am not sure would handle a Joshua, Wilder, or Fury in the same fashion he did against Price. Chisora was wide open coming in at times against Price and a polished boxer would have taken advantage of that flaw. The difference? That flaw would have been exposed with a higher level of power I am not sure Chisora could handle. Just my thoughts!
Somehow I thought that would happen Del Boys a bad man I want to see Parker in there with him next.
Chisora a real fighter get him another big fight.
Price never threw ONE jab!! He just let Chisora walk right up to him. No straight rights and no jabs, pathetic! Big Chisora fan so I enjoyed the victory but the stoppage was a total joke.
Is it safe to say that David Price should call it a career before he gets seriously injured? the man has heart but has been destroyed various times. I am concerned for his well being.
I hope that the BBBC just pull Price’s license now. Zero reflexes or punch resistance. His movement even looked weird.
Chisora is a threat to anyone.. Because he truly has ZERO fear. He doesnt care if he gets knocked out.. He is gonna knock someone out or get himself Kod. But he doesnt care.. He just moves forward. I love him for that!
I feel bad for price.. He had big power and seemed headed somewhere.. Then got exposed like Lucian Bute.
Bute? Was price a super middle before?
Chisora is a top world class contender and will give hell to any heavyweight including Wilder.
Love to see that fight, but it will never happen.
What would the results be if Chisora was tested for steroids immediately? I’m pretty sure I already know
Chisora is Trash
Price is a brave man, too brave for his own good though. He doesn’t even attempt to find a style that will suit him. Tragedy awaits the scouse if people who care about him don’t have a talk with him.
really wanted price to do well in this fight, but i guess this result was predictable. In any other fight , the corner stoppage would have looked premature, but they would have known with experience how badly he gets taken out once hurt. I will though say that Chisora looks like a different beast now. Really focused. Not so much finesse but looks like a real handful. He deserves to be taken seriously on real run for a title
Parker should be next for Del Boy, then Wilder.
Del Boy is a warrior who deserves the big fights.
I’ve been bitten before by the same Whitetail spiders that bit Joe and I can vouch for the fact they will knock you about with no respect for who, or what you are.
And I reckon Joe Parker could, should, and would, beat Del-Boy.
Joe has got stamina, a concrete chin, quick reflexes, fast hands and can kayo if it’s on offer.
Sport needs guys like Chisora. Gate keepers are needed just as much if not more so than champs
