Just watched it - that's a heavy knockout. Teper just walked through him from the start. Price might have lost his big payday with Joshua

Hard to believe Price's stocks have dropped so quickly after being touted a future world champ.
Easy to say now but maybe Teper is better than most realise. Got Sprott out of there in one round. Will be very interesting to watch his next few fights and see where he heads

[shamrock]

Well Teper should be at about the same level as Joshua and Parker as regards pro bouts nbrs etc but is obviously happy to go for higher game.. don't you agree?

[gothenaki]

Teper is 33, so 10 years older than JP, but I agree that was brave matchmaking from his team, and Teper himself is definitely fearless.
He's already beaten Duhaupas this year, who is better opposition than AJ or JP have faced as well.

Hard to tell what "level" Price is at with that chin.
His only notable scalp was to KO Fraudley Harrison, and the only other fighters who weren't journeymen have been Thompson and Teper who have shown he can't take a heavy punch.

It is a good warning for Joshua and Parker, that anyone can look good - until they step up a class and get hit, but i still reckon they're both young, and both on the right track

Here's his record. http://boxrec.com/boxer/545749 Interesting that at his age he hasn't had many fights. Maybe Parker should have fought him instead of Saglam, since they are both German.

Oh, you really think so Die................?

[diehard]

Oh, Sham, I do think so. I do, I do.

or Charr or Pianeta or Dimitrenko or Hammer....  all German, all better than Saglam...  there's plenty of time to get through all of them, if thats the goal

Well, that's the end of Arreola:

WBC #11 heavyweight Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola (36-4-1, 31 KOs) and “Big” Fred Kassi (18-3-1, 10 KOs) battled to a ten round draw. Scores were 96-94 Arreola and 95-95, 95-95. Arreola was mentioned as a possible world title challenger against WBC champion Deontay Wilder in September.
