Kelvin “The Price is Right” Price will be fighting Saturday night at MSG against Tor Hamer. Tor Hamer is 11-0 with 8KOs as a pro and was the 2008 Golden Gloves Nat’l Champ at Super Heavyweight. The fight will be on Hamer’s home turf, who attended private school in NYC and later graduated from Penn State.
Good luck, Kelvin! This is gonna be a big night for the winner.
he used to do this to CUSA rims!
If Phil would be half as tough as KP, he’d decapitate a few people.
What kind of reach does a 6’8 guy have? Can he punch you from the other side of the ring?
LET’S GO KP!!!
Any TV or video feed for this? Would love to see it.
Just checked it out and saw that Price is currently 6-0 with 4 KOs. Not too shabby. Looks to be a six-round fight with Hamer on the undercard of two guys I’ve never head of - Amir Khan vs. Paulie Malignaggi. Hell, they may be somebodies, I’m just not that huge a boxing fan!
Anyhow, anyone 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds, like Kelvin is, will give anyone problems. Hope he can stick it to the Hamer!
I remember when KP beat up 4 guys in the Belk Gym during a pick up. The dudes were total thugs who didn’t even go to school there. One of the dudes started something and then his boys jumped in. KP took them all out. Man, we need a guy like him again.
You’ve got to be 100% effing retarded to try and fight KP. Dude is a BEAST. I agree, we need another guy like him. Calvin Clemmons is another guy like that. Though Calvin wasn’t near as talented, he did have that “this is MY house and I’m gonna F you up if you get in my way” mentality that we’ve been lacking for about 5 or 6 years. Anyone remember when he about broke the entire Memphis team in half for stomping on our logo? I loved that. He was PISSED.

That is a good fight. Malignaggi is well known in the boxing world and it’s an HBO fight. HBO doesn’t put on anyone that isn’t a somebody.
I looked into tickets, but the cheapest are $65 for the upper level. Over $500 for ringside.

3rd undercard…should be on HBO.
Unfortunately, HBO usually doesn’t show 3 fights in 1 night. If he is the 3rd undercard he probably won’t be on. He’s not listed on the HBO schedule. I guess we can hope for 2 first round knock outs, then they have to show KPs fight taped, to fill up time.

Congrats KP!!!
Some news I found on Google:

• Heavyweight Kelvin Price (7-0, 4 KOs), brought in as the opponent, scored an upset six-round split-decision against New York prospect Tom Hamer (11-1, 8 KOs), a fighter promoted by show co-promoter Lou DiBella.Hamer had trouble getting inside on the taller Price, who kept him at bay with a long jab in the crowd-pleasing fight.
Referee Benji Esteves credited Price with a second-round knockdown when the ropes appeared to hold Hamer up, although it looked like Hamer could have slipped on the slick canvas and grabbed the ropes to prevent himself from going down.
Two judges had it for Price 58-55, and the third had it for Hamer, 57-56.
http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/8034/kimball-chronicles-malignaggi-used-mcgirt-night/
Hamer (11-1) dropped a split decision to former UNC-Charlotte basketball player Kelvin Price (7-0)The clash between the two unbeaten heavyweights acquired a potential touch of controversy in the second round when Hamer, who had just unloaded a two-punch combination near a neutral corner, appeared to slip on a beer logo painted on the mat and fell heavily against the ropes. Esteves ruled it a knockdown. (The mat was shipped in from California by Golden Boy; earlier in the evening Prescott had slipped on the same spot and fallen into the ropes, but no knockdown was recorded in that instance.” )
“My feet did slip on the mat, but then (Price) landed a punch as I was falling sideways,” shrugged Hamer. “If I’d been scoring I might have called it a knockdown, too.”
The referee’s interpretation was in the end immaterial, since it would have affected none of the scorecards: Ron McNair and Waleska Roldan both scored it 58-55 for Price, while Matt Ruggero had it 57-56 Hamer. The TSS card agreed with Ruggero’s.

[b]Kelvin Price SD-6 Tor Hamer.[/b] Woops. Price, 34, is now 7-0 (4 KO). He's also a [url=http://www.athleticnetwork.net/site.php?pageID=37&newsID=5449]former international pro basketball player[/url]. This is a big upset, as Hamer (11-1, 8 KO) was one of the most talked-about young American heavyweights. No word yet on if the WBC is lining up Price as Vitali Klitschko's next defense, or if the WBA is considering an eliminator between Price and the retired John Ruiz.
Oh no, Klitschko. That would be something. Brock was embarrassing in that one and has fought his entire life. KP is taller, I wonder if he has the skills.
