British verison of Deontay Wilder. Although Price might be the better, more refined version. We cant tell until Wilder fights one live opponent in his life. Wilder can barely even throw one of his wide ass looping windmill punches without losing balance and almost toppling over. Or take one jab without getting rocked.
I see he's got Tommy Brooks training him now. Not gonna change what he is though, a guy who can dish out punishment but can't take it.
He is training with Tommy Brooks now. I think he will improve a lot. His balance is better than Wilder's though. Wilder refused to fight Tony Thompson!
Poor stamina, mainly due to wasting half of it jumping non stop, almost discrete chin, in the second thompson fight he hasn't been knoccked out in spite of thompson snapping his head from one side to the other one for various rounds; Totally absent defence, he is as hittable as they come; he doesn't use his size advantage, his jab, and he doesn't let his hands go when he should; he goes wild when the opponent is slightly hurt, which means he doesn't land a single punch clean. He looks like he doesn't have a clue of what to do at any time, but he looks majestic in the gym, expecially when he has to hit the heavy bag. Unfortunately, he doesnt waste his time practicing skills, only power. The results have shown. He would have become a decent or even good heavy in the mix, under the hands of Adam Booth; but to kill definitely his career, their promoters or whatsoever didn't let him with the only man that could have teached him some ring smartness. Now he's over, he'll be a journeymen, at best.
I really wonder if its not also his inexperience more than an actual lack of stamina. He punches himself out, much like Wlad did againts Brewster and Purrity. He doesn't know how to pace himself well, but that can be learned.
Surely. He does a lot of unnecessary movements, he isn't smooth, and doesn't even looks relaxed and properly breathing while in the ring. Jumping on a spot is just one, and the main one, of the stamina-wasting useless mistakes he does.
Listen to Steve Bunce podcast where he interviews Price...its extremely revealing and makes it easy to see why Price will never get anywhere. The way he talks about not wanting to be away from his family when he is training and does not appear prepared to make any sacrifices to win. This guy does not have a fighters heart or spirit.... Listen to the podcast and you will be very clear on wht Price foes not have ehat it takes
