Raising Priceys confidence will do him the world of good and that is achievable by Coldwell. However the times hes been sparked isnt down to confidence imo. No matter how confident hed of been i still reckon if the same punches landed we would of seen the same results. The Teper k.o was hardly a big shot either. Giving Price confidence as well as giving him a good jab with variations and seriously improving his defence will certainly go a long way but some guys chins are better than others and some have a weak chin. Id really like to see Pricey do well and pick his career back up its well known hes a great guy, i have a couple of friends who were in the england sqaud the same time as him and they always speak highly of him but imo a weak chin is a weak chin and from the evidence iv seen Pricey carries one. Best Coldwell can do is lessen the chances of him been caught on the chin. Imo
Nothing. If they have him do hard sparring he will get knocked out in the gym. If he fights anyone with even a slight punch without having had hard sparring he will 100% get knocked out in the ring.
I'm not buying that Price has the world's worst chin. Sure, it sucks, but let's have this right. Thompson 1 he was one punch away from winning that fight, then who knows what would have happened. As it was he gassed, got clubbed on the temple and couldn't beat the count in the referees opinion. Thompson 2 was a psychological disaster and nervous energy led to Price gassing within a round. He was stopped on his feet, being pounded with big shots by a roided Thompson. Roided Teper? Spudded. That shot puts down most heavweights - nothing too singular to Price as far as that shot was concerned. Some of these posts have it that a stiff breeze knocks Price clean out. He's only been spudded once. So was Lennox etc. I'd be far more concerned about his cardio and burning up nervous energy in early rounds than his chin. He needs strategies for those things.
Teper was found to have masteron (drostanolone) in his system. Masteron is a very weak dihyrotestosterone derivative and virtually no good on its on. Ive never heard of anyone taling it on its own its usually taken by body builders with test and tren. That along with anavar is the only steroid woman can take without virilisation been an effect as its androgenic ratio is extremley low. In other words its a **** weak roid and teper cant have a clue about what hes doing. The best i can say is he took it to hold on to muscle whilst dieting fown but even then that was a poor choice ss theres far better steroids thatcwill do that job. Imo the masteron in his system would of had very little effect on his performance agsinst price and that wasnt much of a punch. I dont think you can use this to support your argument. Teper is a cheat tho, a dumb one at that
Price now in the IBF top 15 after his comeback fight, hope he isn't being lined up for a Joshua fight.
Very interesting info here. Certainly makes me think twice about that KO. Although didn't the authorities find a whole factory of PEDs when they raided Teper's home? That said, the punch that put Price down was a winging hook, without much body weight behind it as I recall. Not sure it would have knocked out Fury, for example. Jury still out on Price, despite the PED context of his defeats.
