Was shocking to see him fold from a pretty routine punch from Thompson,He may have power but that was a bad loss to a 41 year old journeyman.
He needs to get back in the ring soon,to. Try to rebuild his confidence.
Opinions please!

Randomly i was thinking at start of fight whats going to happen when he gets caught clean..... And there it was thompson is no destroyer and looked in terrible shape. Hes got a long road back to world level. Its ok when hes beating up has beens and never beens mabey maloney rushed him a bit. Ill never forget olympics when in a similar fashion he folded against camareli and i said then he had no chin and would struggle as a pro.
Exactly as you say.. It was a pretty shocking way to go out all things considered, doesn't bode well for him at all. I don't think you can even compare it to the early losses of Lennox or Wladimir, for instance; he responded terribly to a pretty mediocre shot from a guy who isn't a puncher. The way he just collapsed and went fetal, and never really showed any urgency to clear his head was fairly odd to me, almost as if he mentally accepted that he was done as soon as he went down.
Getting right back into swing would obviously serve him well, but he needs to be very careful with who he takes on for a good while at least. You can't get by with absolutely no punch resistance as a HW and still be an offensive fighter, and I'm not sure he's good enough to really adopt a different approach entirely. Won't be any shortage of guys fancying their chances that's for sure.
We all knew this would happen.
Price needs to build some serious shoulder/neck muscles. Otherwise just quit.
I am devistated about his loss, but I dnt wanna see him return and get kod again.
You say tomato,
‘n I say …… it correctly.
Getting wobbled by a punch you dont see is one thing , even taking a count, but to be stopped by that punch was very very shocking.
He was sort of curled up in a heap for about 4 seconds before he tried to get to his feet.
If you havent seen the fight its on youtube.
We said it would tell us alot about Price , well it told us he has power , speed , size , and poor punch resistance.
He should have known better, I think price will fight a couple of bums now like khan would.
I think fury should call his fight off and smash Thompson in 2.
Price may not have the best chin in the World,! but in HW boxing anything can happen theses a large
individuals all there punches hurt. Am I surprised he got KO, not really as rebuilding himself what
level I'm not sure. Remember Wald Klit has tasted defeat , so you never no do you.!![]()
You are right Dia. I have seen many a fighter go down from an innocuous looking temple punch and then usually find their feet again. The huge size of both fighters last night was a factor in Price being unable to get up and maybe he is too fragile for the pro game, but I am not writing him off yet. He has been caught a few times in his short pro career and not been wobbled so we will have to see. He made a rookie mistake and paid for it but he could learn from it and come back a better fighter. He has the firepower to get most people out of there, so we will see.
Peter Fury has called Thompson "an old nobody" and then said that he wants Tyson to fight him after Cunningham. That tells you all you need to know about Fury.
Gotta love fury then. Wants to make a statement but beating prices conqueror! That's how ya do it. Klits can learn from this
Ol greenbeenz getting all hissy
Iv said this all along! Prices level of opponents were dropping after sexton, not getting better. Then Maloney has a bright spark and throws him in with Thompson. I said it had the potential to tits up and Maloney would regret it.
There was a few times he's looked vulnerable, against sexton a couple of times and against skelton. It just showed me he's there for the taking if someone was just willing to get in close and punch with him.
He isn't a wrecking machine, he looked flummoxed how to get past Thompson's pawing jab.
Just because you think Fury is a twat dosnt mean he hasnt learnt a hell of a lot more about how to actually fight and the pro game than Price. If they had fought each other last night, it would have been even funnier because Furys post fight interview telling us he told us he'd smash Price, who was a big stiff idiot, would have made you even more hissy![]()
wait a minute---price got ko'ed? Im goin to youtube to see it. be right back.
