PRIZEFIGHTER DEBATE: 'SH1T' or a 'HIT'?

I've never really been a fan of this tournament, purely because jokers like Sprott and Harrison have seen it as a springboard to world domination, which t obviously isn't. It's basically the boxing equivalent of penalty shoot outs. Having said that, tonight's prizefighter was far and away the best to date. The calibre of the fighters involved was largely excellent. The inclusion of Sykes definitely added credibility. As a fellow scouser, i have to say Derry Matthews stole the show tonight. Okay, he didn't win, but he's put himself back in the domestic picture, and he can take a lot of heart from his performance tonight.

 

I think it's ****

I voted '****' on this poll, but I've actually become a convert now. Last night was the first one I've looked forward to, and I really enjoyed the whole thing.

I think I voted immediately after the one where Herbie Hide pulled out because of a cut. That one was proper ****, but it's got a lot better - fewer mismatches now.

 

I like it. Of course with the set up we did get some scrappy fights but sometimes we get some good action. Is it the future of boxing? Of course not. But it gives youngers and old veterans alike the chance to develop their career over night. Look at Audley, he wins prizefighter then gets a European title shot. Great way to boost a career.

 

lower wieghts will always trump the higher weights (ok there have been a few let downs) the heavy weights and cruisers are just over-weight and hug after 1 minute - utter ****ing ****

 

i think most people thought this would be a bit of a fad and die a fairly quick death but it has held its own on the most part.

some of the shows have been ****, but i think the difference is now higher profile boxers are willing to use prizefighter as a means to resurrect or kickstart their careers, so you are getting better quality participants.

 

****ing ****, British champions should not take part :fire

Seriously though, last nights and the Super Bantam one were brilliant. The HW ones are getting boring now but if you get the exciting guys at the lower weights then it's great.

 

:hey

im looking foward to the re-match tho

 

wheres this come from is sykes a mate or did a huge bet go down , or was he one of your picks in the prediction league

 

ishy's local role model

 

He's the only decent boxer from round my end.

 

they should keep to the lower weights and maybe put 1 heavy weight comp out a year

 

the lower weights are good, HW and CW are not.

 

It was very entertaining last night.

 

Barry Hearn is a terrific promoter.:thumbsup
