Bantamweight Dylan Price remained undefeated with
a scintillating performance in winning a 10-round unanimous decision
over tough Drew Correll to capture the NBA bantamweight title at a
sold out Elevations Event Center in Chester, Pennsylvania. The
six-bout card was promoted by Price Promotions.
Price came out fast, landing some wicked straight
rights against his tall southpaw opponent. Correll looked to
establish his long jab, and at times, he was successful. Price was
able to land some vicious combinations throughout the contest. He
mixed in hard body combinations with four and five flush punches to
the head.
Price cracked but could not break down the
steel-chinned Correll. Each time it seemed that Correll was
teetering on being in serious trouble, he would keep Price honest
with a little flurry of punches. Price's punches were accurate and
accompanied with speed and power. With his impressive performance,
Price came home with the victory and the title by scores of 99-91
(Tony Lundy) and 98-92 twice (Mark Consentino and John Poturaj). The
referee was Eric Dali.
  
Price of Sicklerville, New Jersey, is now 15-0,
10 KOs. Correll, of Danville, New Jersey, is 10-3, 8 KOs.
