James Price looking for a fight

James Price of Bassett wants to put his 2-0 record on the line, but his fights keep getting postponed.

Price's manager, Jim Westmoreland, said last week's card in Greensboro, N.C., was postponed the day before. Then, Price was supposed to fight tonight in Charleston, S.C., but his opponent backed out.

Price is still scheduled to be part of the card at the Salem Civic Center on Aug. 9. Westmoreland hopes to get Price in the ring a few times before that. Price is expecting to fight July 25 in Charleston.

"Once a week right now would be fine," Westmoreland said.

  2. Backlash, Price is going to need more fights before he can get on anything like the contender. He'll start getting the fights, though. His manager is well connected.
