Coach Natasha Jonas, Joe Gallagher, rejected all the view that Lauren Price is unstoppable or is “the character of Ivan Drago” before the clash on Friday.
Jonas (16-2-1, 9 KO) will defend its WBC and IBF belts in a welterweight in the Royal Albert Hall, while Price (8-0, 2 KO) places its WBO belt on the line throughout the British struggle of uniform.
The computer between the two former Olympians from the GB team was sometimes tight, and Price constantly claims that she is too juvenile and too speedy for Jonas, who has much more experience.
At Wednesday’s press conference, Gallagher said that you cannot buy experience and that the narrative around the inviolability of Price is simply not true.
“The program and narrative is that he is the unbelievable warrior, the figure of Ivan Drago, it is simply not that,” said Gallagher.
“Lauren still says he is younger and faster … David Haye thought he was until Carl Thompson at the age of 40 he had thrown him. You can’t overcome your experience in the ring.
“All the wording of the bite:” She did not lose the round, she did not lose it, “but she will lose the round [on Friday].
“If the judge performs his work, he will most likely get a point removable from his head or holding.”
Jonas repeated Gallagher’s belief that experience would prove the difference on Friday.
“I just think there are a lot of experiences I have gone through. But there are a few things about them in the ring [Price] He was not and experienced as a professional, “said Jonas ESPN.
“The main guards are turned off, the blows are more challenging. I am not someone who just comes to the stick when people still think I’m. I am here to fight and stop the lanes and do more things yourself. “
While two warriors remained cordial in their personal exchanges, both of them presented the highest confidence before the fight.
Despite the airy work of her previous eight opponents, Price also refused to suggest that she would feel pressure if everything did not go.
“I think that the biggest thing in this game is to keep nippy, placid, gathered, will remain composed. If this happens, we go again. I have a great team in me, we return to the corner, we accept instructions, “she said.
“I believe in myself, I know how good I am and I believe that win this fight. That’s all”.
