Yeah, sadly he has a lot of things going for him but just doesn't have the fitness or the "fighting spirit" - I remember in the Thompson rematch there was a time when the ref was talking to Thompson (it might have been for a KD) and Price was in the neutral corner, doubled over, gasping.... Not exactly keeping it poker face.

I was in the unfortunate position of watching the fight on Viaplaly, who insist on using local Norwegian commentators who know nothing about boxing and are utterly boring. They bring nothing to the fight at all.
They simply describe what they see "Hoyre, venstre, god slag" simply "right, left, good punch" all delivered in monotone. Imagine my joy when I watched the fight again on Youtube and had the colorful madness of Ronald.
He's finished I think. His stamina and punch resistance is poor and if he can't naturally pump out a jab with authority then he's unlikely to start doing it now. Seems like a nice bloke but he isn't a world class fighter.
I've seen many an IFL interview where Coldwell boasts of the improvements in Price since he started training him. Now people are questioning his weight and fitness Coldwell is blaming others on twitter:

Thanks for the advice.
However, Price employs his own S&C coach - as do all my boxers.

Just because u spar 12rnds & do good things in the gym doesn't mean you're gonna perform under the lights.
Human emotions can change plans.
Seems like Coldwell is happy to hang everyone out to dry.

Bodyactive reckons he's a nice bloke.
He'll be gutted if he finds out he's missed the chance to berate Coldwell, in all seriousness I read somewhere that he basically hung Price out to dry post fight, I'd been out on the piss all day for my wee cousins 18th so Saturdays fights are a bit hazy, I totally forgot Price put Hammer down until someone on here mentioned it
let's not rewrite the fight here. price did start brightly and he was pumping the jab out. he looked good until the fitness became an issue, and then fell apart and in those circumstances you revert to what is deep down inside, beyond the training.

I thought he showed good improvements in moments during the fight, I liked the body work and the uppercut that dropped Hammer was a peach but his defence was shocking and he shouldn't be gassing after so few rounds at this stage of his career. Caldwell deserves some of the blame here, couldn't believe me ears when he said 'he will gas before you' ridiculous! Hammer is a twelve round fighter, has been for years.
But full credit to Hammer, he fought an excellent fight, pushing the action and getting on the inside as often as possible to negate Prices long range power. This fight was over the moment Hammer got up from the knockdown, you could see Price visibly deflate at that moment.
