I think Price will no doubt have some shaky moments, it's just a matter of is he strong enough to fight through those? You see guys like Wlad or Khan rebound from a KO loss and be a bit more timid, a bit more unsure about themselves, but the good news with a fighter that's a bit more nervous is that he will stick to a game plan better. The game plan is like a crutch and if the trainer says "If you do x, y, & z he can't touch you" then the fighter is apt to follow those instructions to the letter.
I think Thompson comes in looking for 1 big counter shot like he did last time, and if Price is smart he'll be very wary of that and maybe try to set Thompson up for a counter of his own. I think Price will get shaken a few times early on, but he just needs to focus on landing the jab, and winning rounds. Thompson is older and will wear down later on in the fight....Price just needs to allow the KO to come to him.
Hopefully Lennox Lewis helped Price work some things out
