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”.

Saturday’s fight with Keyshawn Davis and Edwin de Los Santos was officially canceled after Keyshawn did not reach weight on Friday and was deprived of his lithe WBO title. Davis (13-0, 9 KO) weighed 139.3 pounds, i.e. 4.3 pounds above the limit of 135 pounds.
Abdullah Mason Modern Headliner
The fight of Abdullah Mason with Jeremia Nakathila will be moved to the place to Headliner on Saturday evening to save the show to the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Mason has an invigorating combat style that makes him a perfect substitute for Keyshawn. When entering the fight, some fans perceived him as a worthy main header over Keyshawn.
Incorrect lithe pretender No. 2 WBO, Mason (18-0, 16 KO) comes from Ohio. This is not perfect to be the main event. However, the brothers Keyshawn, Kelvin and Keon Davis, are still on the card, and this will satisfy the crowd of Norfolk. Given that the Saturday event is shown at ESPN and ESPN+.
Keyshawn accepted a lot of criticism from fans for the missing weight. Many of them believe that he intentionally came to overweight to gain an advantage over the demanding punchating of Southpaw de los Santos (16-2, 14 KO).
What rejected the fans was Davis said that he was going to be his last fight at the age of 135 and that he moved to 140. In addition, he did not have the physical appearance of a warrior who pressed on the weight.
Davis: Miss unprofessional weight
“You should make a weight. Why did you sign a contract for 135 and placed the title on the line if you knew that you were not going to start?” Tim Bradley said WarriorResponding to Keyhawn Davis, who does not earn weight today.
Davis has never left his weight before during his tiny four -year professional career. In his last three fights he seemed to be bigger and looked like a weight class.
“It’s very unprofessional. You should do this weight. If you crawl on all fours to the scale, I say:” Damn, he tried to endure weight, but it was too much for him. ” But he didn’t crash on the scales at all, “Bradley said about Keyshawn.
Keyshawna size
The difference in size between Keyshawn and De Los Santos was noticeable during the last press conference on Thursday. After looking at Keyshawn, it could be said that it did not seem that he even began to take off the weight. However, de los Santos looked out of skin and skeletal.
“He is a immense 135-pound and was all his [4-year] career. However, he was busy, “Bradley said about Keyshawn. “It’s not like he was sitting for two years. He went from the camp to the camp. He should be able to bring this weight or get closer to this weight.”
Considering that Davis was already planning to leave a slight division, there was no reason for him to go through the bell, to go down to 135. However, if it was intended, he did not understand that the fight could be canceled.
“Four pounds are embarrassment, an senior. One pound, I understand. I understand some ounces, maybe even two pounds. But three pounds, four pounds and no, no. It’s not professional, senior. It’s bad and it’s unfortunate. Shame, shame, keyhawn. You dropped the ball here,” said Bradley.
Ego led Davis to failure
Lack of 4.3 pounds makes Keyshawn look bad. Is it on his part that prompted him to understand the response of fans? It can be. He seems to be a narcissus, and his victory over a cushioned opposition, which fed the highest rank, seemed to come to his head.
