David price has no chin

[Fenster]

When Price turned pro it was common knowledge he had a china chin and loads of "experts" said it would hold him back. Over the past couple of years, the doubt about his chin has faded because he's looked so impressive destroying people.

Easy with hindsight - but it was only a matter of time before he got ironed out.

I do not know if they faded, I wrote this only a couple of weeks ago:

So far, so good as far as Price goes.

In this era, particularly amongst Heavyweights Price's age is no issue. He had a solid amateur career, and has shown continued improvement as his career has gone on. And although he has had too few fights IMO, he has reached a level you would expect in his four year career, that of domestic champion and matching up with fringe top ten fighters.

The brothers Klitschko are not getting any younger, and there is no real talent on the horizon that looks like they can fill the power vacuum left when the Klitschko's go. Thus Price just might be in the right place, at the right time.

The only real thing I have against Price at the moment, is that nagging doubt about his chin...

I suspect I was hardly alone in being concerned about Price's chops...

You certainly wasn't alone.

All i'm saying is - The upside of impressively ironing fighters out was enough to take attention off his achilles heel. I think that's a reasonable observation to make.

(I backed Audley, Sexton and Fat John to KO him. I didn't back Thompson)

Ouch What kind of odds would you have gotten on a Thompson KO anyways, do you recall? Or just overall, was he a massive underdog?

About 10/1

I seriously didn't fancy him though, which is hilarious considering I backed Brit level guys to KO Price ()

I was good to go for that as well, it seemed to me at first Price was potentially over-matched here.

But then, I got nervous; I had been stung backing Botha against Williams. And sensible people were picking Price, some suggesting 'with ease'. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed 'obvious' to think Price's management knew what they were doing; Thompson was 41, damaged goods, and when he got on the scales I was mighty relived I had not backed him...
