Comments Thread For: David Price Confident That He Can Rebuild His Career

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

DAVID PRICE insists he will bounce back from a second devastating defeat against Tony Thompson – but there seem certain to be changes in his team.

He had a shocking 30th birthday present when he was stopped in five rounds by the American southpaw at Liverpool’s Echo Arena on Saturday.

Thompson barely beat the count in round two after being floored by a sledgehammer right, but Price quickly ran out of steam and an inquest has begun into his performance.

Price lost to the same opponent inside two rounds back in February and made the decision to bring in Lennox Lewis as his technical adviser.

lol maybe if he stops fighting anyone semi relevant

Price's problem is not his chin, nor his heart, not his boxing ability (which isn't great) and not his punch.

He tenses up. He's using energy when he shouldn't be.

He should fly to Philly, knock on B-Hop's door & ask him how to 'box'. He knows how to punch. It's how to box (ie breathe) that he has to learn.

But I think it's too late for him. He's in his 31st year & still too tense on a ring walk.

I agree that he looks tense in there and that it saps him of energy. That's part of the reason why he gasses out.

Just stop thinking you have a divine right to stop fighters within the distance all the time. Thompson had given Wlad problems, and you aren't on Wlads level, so why shouldn't you expect to go the full route?

Just try go the distance for once your lifetime and beat yourself up and berate yourself if you stop your opponent within the distance. Stopping an opponent is a crime, tell yourself that.

You're 0-2 with a out of shape, 40 year old Tony Thompson and both in 5 rounds or under.

Your career is over.

He's weak to the stomach as well, I question his work ethics.

He's taking a page out of Amir Khans book now... He's going to start calling out Klitschko like khan does with mayweather like the brutal KO's never happened. Denial.

lol he's British, it's never over, we still watch Audley Harrison ffs!

On top of that, the heavyweight division is well...the heavyweight division, you can always come back.

He looked like a broken man in this last fight. It's going to be a long road back but a steady diet of limited opposition should build his confidence back up.
