David Price..be Positive.

[imp]

Come on then, let's have a chat about David Price.

Would you give him another go?

Strip that weight, better conditioning, perhaps a chat with Tyson Fury?

No one feels as bad as he does this morning..is it all over?

[Primo Carnera]

It's up to him really. I appreciate how hard it is to call it a day. It's his livelihood , but unfortunately when you lose, your stock goes down, your earnings fall, and let's see how keen he is fighting in small halls for shit money. Harsh realities.

[imp]

How about his trainer?

Did he give him the best advice?

The trainer was bad and was giving him all the wrong advice.

Price needs to learn from Wlad and learn to hold when he is hurt.

Price did knock down Hunter but Price needs to fight 20 C level fighters and build up his confidence before moving up to B level.

How many years will that take?

If he can get x4 more undercard fights this year then that might be a start for his 4th comeback in 2018..time is running out on Price.

A 6' 6"guy who cannot close on an opponent one he has him hurt has no place in boxing--a sport that seldom has a happy ending. I feel a tad of pity for him. He pushed to his limits but cold no exceed them. Better to have tied and failed than to not have tried at all.

Is this a joke? I mean he could be some kind of lower tier domestic gatekeeper, but the guy obviously can not fight, of course it's over.

Unhappily I agree, failure to close when the opportunity came (gas?) but most of all failure to use his attributes to boss the fight.

[Alpha]

It's up to him really if he wants to continue fighting but what's the point? He'll never be elite and even contender status would be a stretch. Does anyone even want to see him fight again?

I cant watch that video at work but I thought the trainer got it all wrong in the corner

one thing I remember him telling price to do was to stop ramming the jam out?

but in general he was talking very fast and getting him more wound up, should have been calming him down, he'd have been better saying nothing, price was burning out on nervous energy as it was

but having said that, this is what price does, I think anyone would have had a difficult job

Does not matter how long it takes. It keeps him busy and earning a living fighting at a level he is comfortable at.

[Memphis]

No trainer, or no amount of cardio is going to change what Price has become. His problems are all in his head. His total lack of belief in himself means that he's not punching properly or with any real conviction. He's robbed himself of any opportunity to win of fight of any significance. There was a time when you could make the argument that he's still got a punchers chance, still got that big right hand, well that's a shadow of its former devastating self. All credit to Hammer, but he should never have got anywhere near Price.

His fitness levels were shocking he looked terrible I think he should just forget about fighting.
He has lost 4 badly I can't see what you can do with him if he carry's on he could get hurt.
Pity all the tools but a poor chin.

World level is the only level he needs to achieve..I don't know if it's a physical or mental thing with David.

He seems like a nice guy and he's obviously a bit better than Audley.

Gasses out - but i'm sure they've worked on his fitness, so I can only think it's his mental state wearing him out
