David Price, Adam Booth Already Go Separate Ways - Boxing News
Weird this , why would you sign with a traine and then not even have a fight together ? I wonder who Price will hire now
Surprising turn of events this, I guess price wasn't getting the kind of training and support he was hoping for, it would have been interesting to see if Booth could have done anything with Prices defence....for me thats the root of all his problems!
I reckon stamina is the issue. To call yourself a 12 round fighter and to be gassed After three rounds was poor form Price. He needs to work on that if he wants to have any glory in boxing because any smart fighter will just take Price past the early rounds and blast him out like Thompson did. I hope Price can sort this out because he's a dangerous powerful fighter. But no stamina won't get you far and they won't all fall like the others did earlier in his career.
Booth knows he doesnt have what it takes to make Price in to a world beater and doesnt want to fail. With Haye, he had a relatively naturally gifted boxer who could at least run sideways away from anything coming back.
this relationship was never going to last. pathetic.
Hasn't Price signed up with the German promoter and already cancelled his scheduled fight?
Yes he was injuredQuote:

He took alot of shots in that fight.
I like price but as someone mentioned can he really go 12 rounds.?
Wasn't this supposed to be his 2nd spell with booth?? I'm unsure why it didn't work out the first time round tho ? I agree with what most people are thinking that the split is completely different from the Groves situation and more to do with boxing ability
Price has always had a poor chin, but there again theses are BIG fighters and any punch will hurt
so we could be judging him harshly,! but in Prices case I think not.
I remember watching him in the amateurs, and he fell to bits after being hit on the chin, he has
all the attributes, he's big good boxer KO power but no stamina and a very poor chin.
As with the split from Booth, I feel Booth as a trainer was a poor choice on Prices part, maybe
he has found his level Price and reached it,! he's no World beater and I feel never will be he is
what he is domestic level fighter.;)
It does seem like his career is hit the cross roads, I thought he would be more resilient that this. He must have about 8 good years in him, so why is it all going wrong?
Hopefully Price can work out his issues and be a force in the HW divison.
No shame in fighting hard and losing, but when you lose in embarrassing fashion like Price did to Thompson x2, you really need to go back to the drawing board and reinvent yourself.
I think hes been exposed and doesnt have the guts for a fight. He literally just gave up in the second fight with Thompson.Quote:

Price needs to get in the ring, get some rounds in, and hopefully he can recover.
I think his boxing career is finished. He can carry on, with everyone wondering about his stamina or what the problem is between his ears, but he can't take a punch. If you can't take a punch in the heavies and stamina is a problem then find something else to do. Stamina is fixable sometimes but a weak chin?
He sounds like a fighter who wants to go as far as he can but doesn't realize he's there now.
He got beat twice by a top 10 heavyweight...I hardly think he's finished.
Price's stamina issues come not from punching himself out, but by his body being tense. Good fighters and great fighters have taught themselves to relax in the ring without allowing their opponent to tee off on them. You can be in amazing shape and if you're tense or your mind is racing and you're not breathing properly then you're going to gas out quickly. I think Price is tense because he's loading up on his right and he's a little anxious about getting hit. Guys can get in that panic mode and gas themselves out really quick but that can be fixed IF the fighter is willing to work on that.
Price just needs to learn to relax in the ring and the only way to do that is hard sparring. He's going to have to get in there and spar and spar and spar some more and eventually he's going to get better or he's going to have to hang 'em up.
Hope you are right.Quote:
