Bout Summary
Price came out appearing very calm and working behind the jab. Dallas threw, but had trouble getting through the defense of his opponent. Price began to land more in Round 2 and had bloodied the nose of Dallas by the midway point of the round. A straight right hand behind a jab caught Dallas cleanly at 2:40 and sent him straight to the mat. He made little attempt to get to his feet before the referee waved and end to the bout.
