David Price Stops Matt Skelton

In what turned out to be another early night for David Price, he ends up stopping Matt Skelton in 2 rounds with Skelton not putting up that much resistance. I expected more of Matt Skelton as in previous fights he has been very durable and always comes to fight. However, age has caught up with him. He is now 45 years old and hasn't been the most active of fighters in recent years. And with a prospect like David Price, people were giving him a slim to no chance of causing an upset.

Skelton did connect with a few over hand punches that landed flush in the face of Price but he was able to effectively tie Skelton up and seemed to take the punches well. The end came with a David Price body shot that sent Skelton to the canvas.

An offer of £650,000 was made after the fight to Tyson Fury and his camp to accept a fight against Price. But these two seem to be moving in different directions right now, and it seems like Price and Fury will fight at some point because there is just too much interest in the fight, just not right now.

So David Price remains unbeaten and now the attention moves over to Tyson Fury who takes on Kevin "King Pin" Johnson tomorrow night. This will be an interesting fight with the winner in line for a shot at the WBC Title that is currently held by Vitali Klitschko. There has been a few comments that Kevin Johnson is not in shape for this fight, and even some of Kevin Johnson's own radio comments have implied that he hasn't had much training for this fight. Hopefully Tyson Fury, as I'm sure he will be, is fully aware of this and takes full advantage by using his height and weight to tire Johnson out for the first few rounds and then start applying the pressure when Johnson tires out. Kevin Johnson has a really good defense, he is very hard to hit cleanly. Just look at his fight against Vitali Klitschko, although he didn't go there to win he hardly got hit clean all night.

Boxer George Groves Answers Questions

Sportsvibe caught up with boxer George Groves and asked him some interesting questions about training and exercise. One of the questions was: How many press ups can you do without stopping. George Groves said he has done around 250 in one go. That's very impressive. George Groves is taking on "The Road Warrior", Glen Johnson in his next fight. Glen Johnson is one of my favourite fighters. He's such a solid workhorse and a consumate professional, it's just a shame he is now at the end, or coming near to the end of his boxing career. Don't write him off though, he has pulled an upset more then once. Should be a good fight.

Wlad Klitschko Mariusz Wach Weigh In

Both fighters look in great shape. And it should be an interesting fight. However, Wladimir should be a little too sharp and powerful for Wach. Mariusz Wach is a decent fighter but he is fairly slow hand and foot. He should land a few punches though which could make a good fight. These are big men and one punch can change a fight. Wladimir doesn't have the best chin either. Don't miss it.

And don't forget the staredown after the weigh-in.

Wladimir Klitschko Vs Wach Staredown

Neither fighter wanted to be the first to look away so a poster was put in front of their faces to end the staredown. It seems a little strange to see Wladimir Klitschko looking up at an opponent. I bet it feels weird for Wladimir too. It should be a decent fight, and with Emanuel Stewards passing it makes people wonder how switched on Wladimir is for this fight. Will it effect Wladimir's performance and focus. We will see. Don't miss this fight. Mariusz Wach is a big lump and I doubt Wladimir will come out of this fight without a scratch. He will have to take a few punches in this fight.

Mariusz Wach Bag Work For Klitschko

Mariusz Wach does some training on the punch bag in preparation for his big fight against Wladimir Klitschko. Wach does some target practise by having the heads of both Klitschko brothers printed on the punch bag. If he lands as many punches in the fight as he does here to the Klitschko's head he would be doing well. Bags don't hit back, but I'm sure Wladimir will be.
