Comments Thread For: Price Was Advised By Lennox To Face Thompson Again

Chin or neck/ear You cant really strenghten your chin but you can your neck. Also if that garcia punch landed on khans chin would he of got back up?? IMO it would of his broke jaw and koed him Also when price is taking less risks he would be very difficult to beat because its not like his punching power cant keep fighters off

Amir Khan got a chin made of steel compared to Price who have been on queer street many times in the amateurs, with headgear and bigger gloves and everything, and now the Thompson fight. Horrible weak punch resistance...

When Lennox got knocked out by Rahman, everyone knew why: because he hadn't taken the fight preparation seriously due to other priorities like acting. Price got KO'd because he appears to be chinny. I would take a soft touch first, then hit the rematch, but I respect him for having the fuzzies to say '**** it, let's do it again.'

Price is nowhere near the same fighter Wlad is. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android I'm not saying he is but the same sort of comments were made. I don't think too many people after the third tko loss were thinking Wlad would come back. I'm not saying Price is going to go and do what Wlad has done but who knows what will happen? If he comes back then he comes back, if he doesn't he doesn't. It's no skin off my nose. Far too many people on here write boxers off after a loss.

There's no doubt after each loss (no matter how he comes about) it's when you should look at adjusting certain things. Wlad did. Will Price? Price is nowhere near the same fighter Wlad is.

Price got sent to queer street by a pensioner. As soon as he gets clubbed again he will be flailing around like a chimp on roller skates.

Big fight for Price, if he was to lose again it would be all the way back to step one for him. That said i'm glad he's taking the rematch. I like to see guys trying to avenge defeats.

Glad he's going straight back at Thompson. Price's problem isn't his inability to take a punch (well, it is, but he can't change that) but the fact that he can't inside fight. He was totally out of shape when he got clocked by Thompson. It does not look like something that they worked on in the gym at all. He showed no good habits on the inside.

It doesn't make sense, they discovered Price wasn't ready for Thompson so what do they do? They throw him in with Thompson again. Any chance of success Price had is going to be ruined by bad management.

I'm glad Price is taking the rematch so soon. Least the kid's got some balls. To be fair his chin still hasn't been tested. Thompson never really cracked his chin, he caught him on the ear if I remember correctly. Be interesting to see how Price approaches this fight.

"Chin" is often used as a synonym for punch resistance. Those with a poor chin often have poor punch resistance in general. Think of how Khan was hurt against Prescott by a punch to the top of the head and against Garcia by a punch to the neck. I don't think the rematch is a good idea. Even if Price wins it is 1 win each. To truly get the better of Thompson Price would have to win the rematch and then win a rubber match. This is one reason I don't like rematches. After 2 fights you can be back to square one. I see where you're coming from but what's the alternative?

I'll be there laughing again when the inevitable happens. http://i.imgflip.com/yiij.jpgvia Imgflip Meme Generator

Are you really differentiating the chin and ear? Yes, the mechanics are different but when a guy can't take a punch he can't take a punch. Getting into the semantics is pointless. I think this fight is a big mistake. If he lost again, in the same way, his career would be over. Fight someone else first. I am differentiating yes. Price was never really, how can I put this, "hurt" (if that makes sense?). It was like he lost his balance/equilibrium and he couldn't regain it in time. I don't see it being a mistake. Ballsy, definitely. A lot of people on here chastise fighters for not fighting the tough fights or rematching tough fights (I mean look at the **** Khan gets for not fighting Maidana or Prescott again). As I said, fair play to Price. He seems a mentally tough kid and it'll be interesting to see how he approaches it. His career would not be over, not by a long shot. Look at Wlad.

Well then, I hope Lewis plans on paying Price for the rest of his career after Thompson KO's him again his career is done. :lol1: Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Neuroscience of KO Indeed, the classical KO results from a hook to the chin that causes extreme cranial rotation, whereby the brain rotates slower than the skull and impacts against the boney inter-cranial structures. This results in nerve damage and unconsciousness. It is not very uncommon for boxers to get up after a few seconds and continue to fight. There are even cases of them coming back to win. But Price was hit on the temporal lobe (i.e. near the ear), and although some brain rotation/displacement may have occurred, he was never unconscious. In this case, a sensory overload and severe disruption of Price’s equilibrium was caused by Thompson’s short, snapping punch just behind his ear, which impacted his vestibular system in the inner ear. It is amazing and courageous that that Price even got up, but he was in no condition to fight. In the rematch Price’s psychological and emotional state will be the key. If he gets angry and goes for revenge, he may get caught again by a Thompson counter punch. If he tries to box him, he may get out boxed by the wily veteran. He needs to make it a physical fight and lean on Thompson. I would guess a UD for Price. But with some luck and discipline he could achieve a late round KO.

Brave Move Learn from this Khan...best of luck David

I think this fight is a big mistake. If he lost again, in the same way, his career would be over. Fight someone else first. I'm going to have to agree. When people say "chin" in boxing it means ability to take a punch on the head. Whether the punch hits the actual chin or not is not really the point.

Which is why it could be a very intriguing second affair. What will Price do different?
