In a word, yea. He keeps getting chances because he's a bit of a character rather than a decent fighter. Like I said, with Price you can't predict anything but he's got far more ability and power than Allen.

Allen's got a very good chin and throws wide looping punches from all angles and while I would agree Price looks to be the heavier handed of the two I'd question whether he punches as hard as Ortiz or Whyte.
Allen ends Price's dream of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and career within 2 rounds.

You're a harsh ******* sometimes Pidge. Allen's small as heavyweights go and Price is massive and imo punches a fair bit harder than both Ortiz and Whyte. Price is always at risk of getting knocked out or gassing but if he uses his size and reach advantage then it should be a straight forward fight for him. That is a big if with Price though.

So AJ will fight Andy Ruiz Jr. As a late replacement, Ruiz is decent, but casuals won't like the look of a 6ft 6 bodybuilder fighting a 6ft 2 burger king
Maybe Hearn can stop bleating about "recycling fights" now that AJ is fighting one of Parker's former opponents.

Apparently he's got fast hands for a big man. Would be nice to see him put up a fight, but would rather avoid a repeat of AJ vs. Parker.

I can’t see anything other than that really, if you go by the past fights this seems to look like one of the easier ones.
All this for an American debut, chasing wilder which will probably not happen any time soon. I’ve watched every one of his fights even been to a couple but don’t think I’ll be watching this one.

Price looked terrible against Ali. I would normally not give Allen a chance but Price looks done.
AJ vs Ruiz isn’t going to last very long at all. AJ walks it people cry saying how he is dodging [insert fighter].

The WBC have ordered Luke Campbell to fight Lomachenko for the vacant lightweight title.
Poor Luke. This won’t end well for him.

Has Fury v Whyte been confirmed?

Loma is head and shoulders above Campbell in every department. Unfortunately Campbell has no real weapons in his armoury to at least give him a long shot chance. The best he can do is try and last as long as possible and be brave.

It’s been ordered. It’s another disgusting decision by the WBC. They’ll do anything to avoid Whyte getting to
Wilder.

I know they really need to sit done and draw up proper plans for what fights need to be made for the belts and for the fans. I know money comes into it and all the rules with who they’ve signed for and stuff but still.........also heard the fights can happen but only in certain circumstances
Dubois/Gorman have set there fight up for the belt, A fight everyone wants to see, both undefeated without any hesitation. The way it should be.

Davis has done nothing to actually get himself in the ring with loma though. The guy has like 1 fight a year? Then just runs his mouth doing the tough guy act. Mayweather wont put him in a ring with Loma either, he literally said Loma's only got a few years left and Davis has lots of prime years left so it's no rush. Which is Mayweather for duck him until he's old and declining.
I want to see the Garcia fight aswell but I dont think hes coming down to 135 again and Loma's to short to go up in weight much more. He seems a bit destined to just dominate 135, unify all the belts and batter all the crap manditorys they keep feeding him.
Hopefully there are some good foghts in the future but I dont see any big challangers.

Wilder vs Breazeale tomorrow eve, would love nothing more than to see Wilder laid out. Breazeale needs to just go for it, the longer you're in the ring with Wilder, the more chance you give him of landing a windmill. If you stick it on him early and land one, there's no way he can take it whereas Breazeale we have already seen can take a beating.
My thoughts exactly, he took a right beating from AJ. I really hope he beats Wilder who is a disgrace.
