Could Andy Price. duplicate victories over Cuevas or Palomino?

I look forward to when RedRooster makes his stamp on this thread.

 

This is a bit off the subject, but my only recollection of Andy Price is when Sugar Ray Leonard knocked him out and catapulted himself into title contention. Angelo Dundee wanted to see Leonard's knockout capability and killer instinct before putting him into a title match. Leonard hurt Price and just went into hyperdrive to end the fight.

 

I tend to think he would have been capable of it, as i was never convinced about either of these two against good cuties and safety-first boxers.Both really needed more stationary and aggressive opponents to excel.

Price had enough *****s in his armour though, that the 15 round distance against them may have swung things the other way though.Tough to say for sure.

 

Over 15 rounds, the body attack and championship distance endurance of both Palomino and Cuevas might swing the balance in their favors, more so in the case of the slow starting but more skilled Palomino, whose loss to Price was on a split decision.

 

look at his record, he was ko'd soon after fighting cuevas and also lost decisions. in his savage prime, cuevas by brutal revenge ko

 

The Beer spokesman was pretty green compared to Price when he took him on.

Price had extensive amateur experience, whilst Palomino I think only took up boxing at the age of 20 when he was in the army and turned pro after a short but pretty successful am career.

The only reports I have read about their fight suggest a late knockdown of an overeager Carlos, who was coming on strong, was the difference in the end.

A seasoned Palomino with 15 rounds to chop Price down should win it.

I think the 15 heats helps Cueves a lot aswell...Though with the way Price's career panned out I wouldnt be surprised he could crush him early if he had another shot at him later on.


If they fought again over 10 however I think Andy could get away with a win again...the longer distance helps these two against him.
