    Price doesn't know how to fight for a guy of his size. He should be taking control of the center of the ring and keeping his oppents at bay using his jab. His jab is pathetic for a man of his size, reach and power. When he's in the clinch he should be using his strength and force his weight on his opponents to tire them out Wlad Klitschko style, but he seems to allow himself to be forced back by much smaller men. The main problems Price has is poor ring IQ and serious stamina issues. He gasses out ridiculously easily and doesn't have a clue how to deal with pressure. As you said he should hang them up now.
    I don't think Price is fit. He's not noticeably fat but he doesn't have a great deal of definition which suggests a high body fat percentage.

    I had high hopes for him but as you say he has a low ring IQ and he hasn't progressed at all since his early fights.

    Price definitely wasn't as defined as he's been in earlier fights. I'm not sure if that was a tactical thing or lack of fitness.

    I had high hopes for him as well when he turned pro. He certainly has the physical attributes (chin aside) and a decent skill level (jab aside). He just doesn't know how to apply it and seems to lack the heart and dedication to even beat B class opposition.

    I had seen an interview with dave coldwell just after he started training him he said he was too light for his frame and encouraged him to fill out which in theory is fine if it doesn't take away from his conditioning which it clearly did last night for a professional to be gassed after 3 rounds is unforgivable.especially one that's looking for a world title shot.questions should also be asked of coldwell he clearly thought he would ko him early then left him badly exposed as the fight went on.

    Don't wish the guy any harm as he seems a good guy but I don't see a future for him reminds me of an out shape audley harrison.

    60k buys apparently for CEJ fight.


    Just on Price. Hammer was a big step up to his last two guys, not sure his stock went down any by the loss as he was not the favourite. Still has obvious flaws but he still punches well as the knock down showed.

    60k buys isn't too bad.I thought it would have been less not quite the millions eubank snr was talking about.
    I still think the price performance was poor especially as he was looking for a future title shot which is a million miles away now.

    If he'd beaten Hammer he was a stick on for first dibs at the Parker Hughie Fury winner. I suspect he'll go back to the euro bum circuit and try and build some confidence. Won't quit, too many ABC belts out there. When Briggs Oquendo is a title fight no need to hang up yet.

    Surprised that 60K people bought that fight. I thought it was a shocking fight to have a a PPV. Not even one of the big world titles!

    Josh Taylor confirmed for headlining a show at Meadowbank on 24th March against South African Champion Warren Joubert.

    Another step up for Josh, but another great night ahead at Meadowbank.

    Excited for the young guys career think he'll go along way.

    Scott quigg away to LA to train with Freddie roach interesting move for him.

    Looks like Pacman vs Khan has been made for April 23. Even at 38 I think Pac still has a bit too much for Amir.

    Yes, the pantomime has begun early this year. It is laughable that Bellew thinks he will last more than 3 rounds.

    He will not, and I'm basing that on ability, durability, punch power, punch resistance, stamina, speed and any other characteristic or statistic you could chose to measure a boxer. I'll even throw in romantic intangibles like "heart" and "desire" - Bellew is getting hurt, and it will happen quickly.

    Fair play.

    I didn't watch the fight, I only know the result - was Bellew value for it?

    After all the hateful build up, I'm glad he won, as Haye was throwing out some sick comments.

    The fight was never officially signed. The new talk is Pacquiao vs Jeff Horn. Not sure about Khan.
