    He was also taking some body shots that looked like were going to fold him in half. That coupled with already crap stamina to begin with will do it.

      It was all wrong.

      All that nervous energy fucked him up.

      Thompson did land to the body but they didn't look like huge shots and they were mainly landed in round 3 when Price was already half-spent.

      I don't think I have ever seen a top flight athlete gas after 6 minutes of action. I believe they call what happened - an adrenaline dump.

        It was definatley the stamina...he looked gassed out after round 2 the round in which he floored TT, his chin seems ok...not the best but also not the worst and it also seems like he has a big heart, for price to get back on track he will need to get rid of franny smith and go full time with lennox lewis or even a world class trainer, he will need to have a full 8-12 week training camp with lewis or the new trainer and will need to drop back down a few levels to domestic level and maybe defend his british and commonwealth titles, then gradualy move up in class.

        Hes definatly not finnished by any means, he just needs revamped and take it step by step.

          He quit, Got hit hard prob remembered getting ktfo and stopped punching back to force ref to stop fight. Ever box before?

            Agreed. Price is not elite material. He's a little above average for a hw.

                Yeah he should think of dropping like 20 pounds and really getting conditioned. 285 pounds is way to much weight to carry.

                    Definitely nerves had something to do with it - nervous energy can exhaust you quickly - but more than anything Tony Thompson is just that good - he is a very underrated fighter. He combined pressure with some very well placed punches to close the show./
