Jeff Thomas getting in the PrizeFighter is a disgrace!!!

Got me thinking..........that planking thing that folks be doing....I don't get it.

 

It's a quality addition. Kills me every single time :good

 

don't feed the troll,

oh **** i just have.
**** it,dickhead threadstarter **** OFF,theres a nice chap

 

Good for Jeff, alot of people got behind him and he was chosen, it really was the power of the people. I really hope he goes all the way and wins the final.

 

Its the underdog story. Power of the people. When the people get together, they are heard.

Its hardly an inspiring line up so JT fits in fine.

If it was top domestic fighters like some of the PF lineups then I'd agree he shouldn't be in it but the fact is its a poor line up and there was a vacancy.

 

I'm so very sorry to hear you have AIDS.

 

Sounds like someone's a lickle bit jealous!

 

Prizefighter aint about the Amir Khans, its about the journeymen who often work long days before heading off to training, getting their 9/18 or even 27 minutes in the limelight.
Jeffs never going to be a world champion, never going to light up Las Vegas or Madison square garden, but is a hardworking honest pro who for one night gets a shot at glory.
I think for this reason, Prizefighter is a fantastic concept.
It even brings back guys, who dont have the desire to do the grind day in day out anymore to make a run at titles, the opportunity for one last hurrah, or if you really do have it, like Mike Perez, gives good exposure.
The Hearns are very good for boxing!!

 

:cry::cry::cry:

 

I know disgraceful, and i'm glad Amir Khan was mentioned, as far as i'm concerned, thats unfinished business.

As Bradley said... you were saved Khan... but Jeff is coming for you!

Thomas books a date with Amir Khan


Published on Friday 25 November 2005 13:50

ST Annes boxer Jeff Thomas has been handed the challenge of a lifetime – against the new hero of the British fight game Amir Khan!

Thomas is poised to take on Khan, rated the most exciting talent in the world, at the Braehead Arena in Scotland in February.

The fascinating clash could even have taken place as early as December 10 in London – however, the 26-year-old St Annes boxer was already committed to a promotion in Blackpool on December 14 and had to reject overtures from the Khan camp.

Though having to turn that date down, he had further talks with boxing agent Dean Powell, who indicated that Thomas would get the chance to fight Khan in Scotland in the New Year on a promotion headlined by Scott Harrison

It now makes it imperative that Thomas beats Baz Carey at the Hilton Hotel in Blackpool, next month on the first and only promotion held in the resort in 2005.

A fight against Khan would be by far and away Thomas's biggest pay-day, an estimated 5,000 – and an exciting assignment that will catapult him into the national spotlight.

And should father-of-one Thomas produce the biggest upset in recent ring history, it would seal his fame and make him a national hero, opening so many doors.

Thomas is determined to make the most of this golden opportunity, though he is under no illusion that he will start a massive underdog.

"I am so excited about the prospect of fighting Khan – in fact, I can't wait to fight and I won't be overawed by his reputation.

"I could have fought him next month on the undercard of the Audley Harrison/Danny Williams fight in London, but I had to turn it down because I was already fighting in Blackpool.

"I work on the doors in Blackpool and I have to deal with a lot of aggravation from guys a lot bigger than I am, so it is not as if I don't know trouble is about and at least on this occasion I will only have one guy as big as me in the ring!

"It is good money – by far the best I have ever had.

"To be honest, I could have done with the money from boxing in December, what with Christmas coming up and a young son, but in a way it is good that I won't fight Khan until February because it gives me plenty of time to prepare.

"I realise I am not in Khan's class – after all, he is one of the most exciting boxers in the world and I would have been kidding myself to think that I am as good a boxer as he is.

"There will be no point in going into the ring trying to out-box him and will go into the ring with the attitude of trying to take his head off.

"Craig Watson fought Khan last year when they were amateurs at Preston Guild Hall – Watson put Khan on the floor and I consider myself a much better fighter than Watson."

Thomas's immediate priority is to produce a convincing win over Carey, who himself has already faced Khan.

Carey took on the Olympic silver medallist at Cardiff in September, winning on points.

Thomas said: "It is up to me now to do a better job against Carey than Khan did in Cardiff.

"I am not at worried about fighting someone like Khan – in fact, I regard it as a privilege that I have been asked."

 

I've got balls you've got give me that

 

You realise you are holding all of our collective balls over the chopping block? If you go out and make a show of yourself never again will we be able to influence pro boxing tournaments to get in the people we like instead of the people who deserve it No pressure.

 

Please, just don’t repeat your showing against Carey. You’re better than that.

 

If enough people turn up to support him (and it's sounding like there'll be a fair few!) then it's mission success.
