    Maybe, but another way to look at it is this:

    Price is one of the few top HW's that actually goes to the body hard, especially with uppercuts.
    Now, there are only 2 ways to land a good uppercut: move in with your guard up (Tyson's peek-a-boo thang) or let your opponent come to you, and wait for him to make a mistake. (What Berto TRIED to do against Guerrero.)

    I didn't see this specific fight, but Price has done the latter many times, in other fights. It's the smart way to go, as it saves energy, keeps you balanced, & gives you more time to think.

    Terrible footwork by Price, slow feet. Someone like David Haye would absolutely destroy him. Pretty he sure he gets Tony Thompson out of there though.

    It's still not wise to let a shorter fighter close the distance that easily. But anyway, watch the fight and we can talk some more. :good
