LAST SATURDAY evening Liverpool heavyweight hope David Price became the latest unwelcome recipient of boxing’s OBE — One Behind the Ear.
The right-hander on the right spot by Tony Thompson late in round two left our rising prospect rising from the canvas on spaghetti legs and with a seriously addled mind.
Though ‘Big Pricey’ was vertical again before the full 10 count was tolled, the fight was correctly terminated before the prowling Yank could inflict career-ruining damage.
People harp on about china chins and glass jaws but, occasionally a bomb to the temple or just behind the ear can relieve even the toughest fighters of their senses.
With a single blow, the 2008 Olympic medallist was transformed — in the media’s eyes, at least — from heir apparent to the Klitschko brothers to the latest in a long chain of horizontal British heavyweights.
