Round-By-Round - Chris Eubank jr vs. Renold Quinlan - February 4th 2017

[hitman_hatton1]

had a bad feeling about that fight for pricey.

falls painfully short again.

domestic class it is.

if he wants to carry on that is.

[tobyh5]

He looked fckued at the end of round one

[BitPlayer]

Why is he so tired so soon? Is he ill or something? Just doesn't have the genetic make up to be a boxer at all, zero stamina.

He has to retire now, so glad he didn't talk himself into a Joshua fight. Joshua would have wiped him out.

I suspect there a big mental aspect to it.

[wesshaw1985]

still fights out there. But not for World Titles.
He can pick up pay cheques vs. Chisora, Allen, Lewison on Matchroom undercards...

POSSIBLY.

Price should go down to English title level and never have a major jump up in level again.

That's what I thought. Maybe he has something wrong with him. I mean how can an athlete have such terrible stamina?

Agreed , it's not like it's the first time he has gassed like that , something is amiss somewhere .

Chisora takes him to school now I'm afraid - was one I wanted to see a while back, not anymore

Possibly yeh. it's bizarre because he doesn't even have a high work rate. So he's basically done low work rate for a few rounds and then he's absolutely flat out fucked like most people would be after 12 hard rounds, or running a marathon or some kind of really gruelling effort. He's like that off 3 fairly bog standard rounds. That's just not right at all.

[punchoutsb]

Feel bad for Price, but I have to agree with everyone else; Price has the worst stamina I have ever seen above the local scene. That's not an exaggeration. Butterbean had more gas in his tank. At this point it's a done deal as his confidence is shot, but Price is a guy who could have been so much better if he'd have had better training.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Price should go down to English title level and never have a major jump up in level again.

I think he should call it a day. His Health is more important. He can't fight more than 4 rounds without gassing. You don't need to have much to beat him just last a handful of rounds.

[jamesmcdonnell]

It's not like hammer was even much cop.

[skanksta]

He's hardly an embarrassment. How many of you would go and have it with a lad at nearly 19 stone and 6-2?
His stamina is shocking, his mental strength is shocking and his jab is poor. Hope he's made a few quid from the game as he's done.

How many of us are professional heavyweight boxers.

I can't think of a professional heavyweight of price's level with worse stamina.

He makes Bruno look like Mo Farah.

very good

When fighters (Hughie Fury ?) come up with that, "I had a rare undiagnosed blood disorder affecting my stamina" stuff I always think it's bullsh*t - but in Price's case it may be true..

He's got an Olympic Bronze, doesn't fight high-tempo and he's just gone ??

Prizefighter is his level now :(

[TheCobra]

I honestly wonder if he's got some underlying health issue, like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or something. Whatever it is, it definitely will scupper him at whatever level he fights at now, he's exposed so people will know what to do. He should retire and take up a less harrowing sport, like chess.

He's got proper trainers and presumably training like an athlete, he must be physically fitter, but nerves waste a lot of energy too, and then he gets demoralized when he gets tired, and lacks the natural instincts to coast on.

[Bard of Boxrec]

not sure why folks are surprised, nothing new from pricey

[deadpan]

He fights like he is in a recurring anxiety dream.

[big lennox]

Poor bloke. I think he gets so nervous, he burns up all his energy and gets spent. A career behind the mic and/or training him would be a good move. He comes over well, is bright, and has a lot to give, the actual fighting part is not for him -no shame in that. It doesn't preclude you from having a stella career in boxing.

Now you mention it, it is a bit like Ryo Matsumoto who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year. It apparently effected him as an amateur and in his sole pro defeat. Wonder if Price ever got checked for those types of things....

Seems like he loses a lot in nervous energy for me. I struggle to understand how a boxer can gas so fast, it must have a mental edge to it.

Didn't see tonights fight but he always seems too tense. It's like if you stood there and tensed all your body you'd get tired. He never learnt to relax and breathe properly.

Just said the exact same thing. There's definitely a mental edge to it.

Yep I realised after half a round that he was exactly the same and unless he got some power off quickly, he'd be gone. I don't think his problems can be unlearned, or undone, they are there and no trainer can change it. Caldwell was great in the corner, saying all the right things, but you can't polish a turd.
