Dylan Price Wins Unanimous
Decision Over Jobert Alvarez
Dylan Price remained undefeated with a 10-round unanimous
decision over gritty Jobert Alvarez to win the WBO Global
and WBC Intercontinental; Bantamweight title in front of a
near-capacity crowd at the Elevations Event Center in
Chester, Pennsylvania.
The special two-fight card was promoted by Price Promotions.
Dylan Price, who had nine-time and four division world
champion Nonito Donaire in his corner, was quick and started
his flurries as he mixed up his attack by landing head and
body shots. Alvarez was extremely game as he would often try
to land his own combinations in return. Price landed the
much harder punches, and snapped the head back of Alvarez on
several occasions. Price was urged on by a supportive fan
base. Alvarez kept Price honest with some solid
combinations, but never put any fear into Price and the
undefeated Sicklerville, New Jersey fighter continued his
pressure and effective punching until the final bell.
The world-ranked Price won by scores of 100-90 and 98-92
twice to raise his mark to 16-0. Alvarez of Renton,
Washington via General Santos City, Philippines is 20-5-2.
The co-feature opener saw the impressive pro debut of
Dylan's 18 year-old brother Devin Price.
Price stopped 16-fight veteran Matias Arriagada in the
opening round of their junior welterweight fight.
Price dropped Arriagada three times with two of them coming
on body shots. The fight was halted at 2:07.
Price is 1-0 with one knockout. Arriagada of Buenos Aires,
Argentina is 6-11.
The fight card was called by former world champions Paulie
Malignaggi and Nate Campbell along with world class blow by
blow announcer Marc Abrams,.
