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

[MDPopescu]

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.

B-Hop can't teach something that is a Mother Nature's gift...

Agree with mos of the comments on here. Price just seemed to waste so much nervous energy.

He can come back from this no doubt. He didn't look like he was as good a condition as he has been in previously...maybe its all the hype and attention he got for having Lewis with him.

As mentioned previously, he cowered or froze when Thompson started landing or opening up. He looked clueless on the inside and vulnerable to the body.

I thought he would attempt to just box his way to a win but he threw the gameplan out of the window. Where was his jab? One criticism I've always had with Price is his complete and utter lack of head movement...

He can bounce back though....

I said before & i'll say it again... Price justs needs rounds. He needs experience. Maloney did a terrible job of matchmaking...

I realy believe that David Price has a mental/psychological problem. He`s insecure (about himself) and don`t know how do handle his emotions and fear in the ring. It`s true, everytime Tony opens up, Price was frozen stiff, unable to keep his composure and unsure how to deal with that situation. This is exactly the mental state that sucks all the energie out of a man. You need more than just a big frame, some power and technik to became a elite fighter. Look, B`Hop lacks speed and great punching power but he always knows exactly what he`s going to do. He knows how his opponent would move before they even think about it. But this is not David Price. I actualy like this dude but I don´t think he`s got what it needs to be a champion. The base, the foundations is layed out in a champion at a very young age. That is when you learn the mental and psychological aspects of the sweet sience. That is when you find yourself in all kinds of situations and when you learn to find a way out of it and turn it to your favor. THAT is what makes a champion!

Too much too soon for lil David.
Luckily, just big and strong is not enough these days

I'm not gonna hate on Price. He had Thompson hurt early. I predicted another early Thompson KO, but Price almost made me eat that prediction. His issue is stamina. But that doesn't keep him from making interesting fights early. I won't mind seeing him in with other B-,C+ heavyweights.

He runs out of gas too fast.

I never understood what the hype was with Price. He got sparked in the Olympics which showed how chinny he was.

Wait are you saying Price was dropped with head gear on.
I thought he just needed to use his jab and stay away from the turtle shell position but I guess he might be a little chinny.

Price can do a Wlad

David Price's 2nd fight with Tony Thompson reminded me of Wlad's 1st with Lamon Brewster. Punched himself out and seemed to lose all energy. If he can sort that out the way Wlad did, and use his size the way Wlad does to keep his chin clean, he can still have a very successful career.
