By Scott Gilfoid: Heavily hyped heavyweight David Price (15-1, 13 KO’s) tried to bum rush 41-year-old Tony Thompson (37-3, 25 KO’s) last February like Price had done against many of his previous God awful opponents and it didn’t work out too well with Price getting flattened in the 2nd round in an embarrassing knockout loss in front of his own British boxing fans in Liverpool, UK.
Now, the 29-year-old Price is going to be fighting Thompson again in Liverpool, this time on July 6th. The 6’8” Price has the hometown advantage again, but he and his trainer are saying they’re going to use a more conservative approach to the fight to keep from leaving openings that the 6’5” southpaw Thompson can take advantage of.
