As bizarre as this may sound, Sam Sexton laid the blueprint to beating Price
He didn't have the tools to it carry out, but watch the first 3 rounds again:

Price literally can't lay a glove on him for the first 3 rounds - and this despite Sexton not having the best footwork and being 20% bodyfat.
Sexton also chooses well his moments to come in and attack. He just is quite slow & telegraphed when he does it. And doesn't vary the shots.
As I said, sadly he is a limited fighter and whilst the gameplan was spot on he simply doesn't have the tools [speed, agility or reach, size] to implement it.
Looking at how Price is beginning to actually gas trying to catch Sexton by round 3, I think someone like David Haye atm would make mincemeat of Price based on the Sexton fight.
It highlights just how poor Audley Harrison was and his lack of any cohesive gameplan. It was borderline idiotic tbh. He clearly doesn't even have Sexton's punch resistance [a man KO'd twice by Chisora & arguably once by Rogan].
I guess Audley was stung by the Haye fight and wanted to go all gunz blazing. Ironically, he would have been best served being every bit as cautious as he was with Haye in the first 2 rounds and then counterpunching as a much bigger hitter with a big reach than the featherfisted Sexton.
EDIT: I just watched the Audley vs Price 'fight' again, and Audley was bolt upright, not protecting his chin at any time. Pawing with his right 'jab'. He is now a truly dreadful professional boxer :( I'd love to know how low into the British Heavyweights he would have to dip to get a win? I think McDermott & Sexton would have his number tbh!
