    The ****? He lost?
     
  3. I've never seen him fight, but a couple things stick out at me when looking at his boxrec page.

    1. His last 6 opponents have had a winning record. (Impressive for a prospect.)

    2. His weight in the loss to Price was career heavy.

    I dunno...maybe there is hope for this one..

    Hamer losing to Kacey Whatever was a bit of a shocker to me personally. I hope it was a fluke.

    The loss was to Kelvin Price and many say Price would be a legit Heavyweight prospect if it wasn't for his age. I noticed that the weight was a career high for Tor to. Wonder if he took the last fight for granted.

    If I remember correctly, Price was an all-american basketball player at UNC Charlotte back in college, and I believe he was drafted in the second round of the NBA draft. Just a very late comer to boxing, but obviously a very athletic guy.

    Here's a gallery of photos from that fight. It's hard to tell the size difference, but Price is like 6'8", which could have something to do with it.

    Will be interesting to see how he bounces back.
