Maybe it does but have you ever boxed in headgear? Headgear does not help as much as you think. You can still feel the impact of those blows.
Because he is one of the hardest hitters in the sport. If Wlad fought his style he would get Koed all the time as we seen before he started jab and hold on anytime anyone gets close. While Wlad has learn how to protect his weak chin he has lost a lot of fans in the process. Watch his fight now is like watching paint dry. I can't wait to see if Price has changed his style. The reason TT hurt him is because Price didn't see the shot coming. His chin seems weak but I hope he caan get back on track. His fights are fun to watch.
While this is true, getting hurt and stopped numerous times with headgear on isn't exactly a good sign for punch resistance though. It Happened far too often.
He hasn't fought anyone of note and just got obliterated by a 41 year old fat and disinterested Thompson who isn't a puncher. Price is a Glass Jawed Fraud.
How many times did Price get Koed with headgear? Or were they just knockdowns? I seen when Fury knocked him down but he didn't seem hurt. I remember Haye got knocked out in headgear but his chin does not seem that bad these days. He took some hard shots from Wlad. Price fought some big bangers like Mago in those days so maybe his chin is not real bad. We really need some contenders bad. Even Wlad was hyping Price saying he reminds him of himself. He didn't see that shot TT hit him with and he got hit in a very bad spot. Price was very careless in that fight. He was just coming in wreckless and a pro like TT will catch you if you try too fight him like that. I hope Price learned from in and is prepared to box this time and go the full 12. TT has been in the ring with some good fighters. It was dumb matching Price up against him but he did look shot in his last fight with Wlad.
Only one of his KO's was do to the Chin (Sanders) Against Purrity he just fell down from exhaustion without a punch even landing. Brewster never knocked him down either. What will you say if Lennox has Price clinching all the time like he did? I could totally see Lennox trying to teach Price the clinching style he was taught by Steward.
Well it want be as fun to watch him. But if he can't take a punch I guess he will have to use that style. At least Price is trying to learn from that loss. Bringing one of the all time greats ever to train him was a good move by Price. LL must see something in Price or he would not of reached out to him. Remember Lewis was trained by one of the best trainers ever. I wonder if Lewis will come into the ring with Price?
Price has a glass chin/poor punch resistance, its a fact my friend. His only hope is too avoid clean punches like Wlad does, its easier said than done though. Wlad has an all time great defense now. Thompson was fat and isn't a puncher, and the punch wasn't even that great. that is what would worry me if i was a Price fan. You have to admire Price for taking an instant rematch, takes some balls. I think this will end in KO again but maybe Price gets the KO this time. I've just put 50 Quid on Thompson winning by KO at 4-1 odds. I couldn't resist the odds.
His chin didn't look well in the first Peter fight and TOS floored his as well as steve pannel. Go back and watch Wlad Peter 1. I think the last knockdown was the end of the 9th or 10th. But watch that last knockdown if there had been more time in that round Peter would have won by Ko. Wlad was just standing against the ropes much like in the Brewster fight when he got hurt. Wlad was saved by the bell. He looked like he was done and Peter was about to KO him.
