The problem Price has, is his chin has let him down before.
But he is an excellent offensive fighter, who uses his physical tools well. Maybe he needs to look at someone like Wlad to find an example of how to deal with a potentially soft chin.
On the plus side; in the warped boxing world we live in, maybe this defeat could open the door to good money fights. If the likes of Fury et al feel even if behind on the scorecards that one bomb on Price's chin wins them the fight, maybe they will do business.
Price is going to have to live with this defeat, it will always be thrown in his face by some. He has to deal with that, but providing he can get over any doubts he has, it should not be a huge issue.
A 16 fight prospect taking a merciless beating is potentially damaging; a 16 fight prospect walking into a punch from a pretty decent fighter, is, providing the fighter gets over it psychologically, at worse a bit embarrassing.
