Adam Booth seems to be the PREMIER trainer in the UK at this time. He should also look into Ingle as well.

Price can EASILY go to Canada or the USA and get good stiffs by the boatloads. Nothing too fancy, but def a better crop of journeymen and stiffs he can bang up on if he wants to keep up a 3-4 fight a year regimen.

The fight with Thompson just shouldn't have been made, at any time or point. It was the wrong fight for Price and it showed his trainer's arrogance and his promoter's greed.
in what way?
Wrong in terms of Thompson's skill level and frame of mind before the fight. Thompson wasn't a dejected Wlad victim. He REALLY felt- and ought he should- that he fought the best in Wlad and anyone else below that caliber of fighter, which Price is/was and a host of other guys, would have been no match for him to that extent.

I think it's clear that Wlad and Vitali are thee best out there. Clearly. No one- as does Thompson- should feel bad that they lost to Wlad.

Plus, Thompson brutalized other fringe contenders before he fought Wlad again and then Price, twice. So he clearly wasn't lacking confidence.

In addition- Price was simply not ready for that level of competition. He simply wasn't ready and Thompson felt that- and mustered all of his courage and pride to not lose to someone of Price's resume in the game.

Price was simply not ready, in frame of mind or skill level or experience, for those Thompson fights.
