Don't believe the BS. There is an excuse from Price fans for everyone of his shortcomings Fact of the matter is he cannot take a punch has poor defense and weak stamina. He over 30 yet gets babied as if he is some young prospect just starting his career.
It's just a pitty his chin is so dodgy, if it hadent have been the world was at his feet Pound for pound he is one if the hardest hitters in world boxing, if he can just learn how to protect his chin then he still should b able to have a gd career I think his career thus far can in ways be compared to Wlads early career mishaps
Yeah man, a lot of fighters are getting babied nowadays. Must be some sort of shortage on talent at local gyms? Back in the day they'd just throw him out in the ring to see what happens, and after getting whooped a couple of times they'd move on to the next boxer and start backing him. Why are they babying Price? Word is out on him, he's never gonna be a star so just put him in with another fighter in your stable and he'll get crushed, NEXT!
It has to be that documentary that proclaimed Price as the next big thing that has people overlooking his shortcomings
I just wonder how pulev beat price in sparr as we knw he already beat the **** out of helenius. .. in sparr 2 weeks ago
He is maybe now at a stage in his career, that only the big fight can motivate him. He was winning against Chavez Jr and would've maybe done him on points if he didn't gas out so early (**** Stamina, really :huh)
With regards to Price, i really think it was stupid to take the second Thompson fight, every prospect at HW can get KO'ed and come back, but the second one was really destroyed him, I'm not sold on Price just yet. But what he did Saturday night is defiantly a step towards the right direction, hopefully Sauerland keeps him busy. Use this year to rebuild him. But with that being said, as many points out here Price is not young, he doesn't have the luxury of time as Fury has, so rebuild him, but defiantly don't wait too long to match him with some contenders.
I'm not defending Price, but it didn't look like a legit knock down. Price was badly out of balance, and was pushed while franctically and clumsy moving around. In fact, he didn't look stunned or hurt at all.
