fightnews.com The line-up for Prizefighter: International Heavyweights, the 18th edition of Matchroom Sports eight-man, one night tournament at Londons Alexandra Palace on May 7 is now complete with former WBC cruiserweight champion and heavyweight contender Juan Carlos Gomez, who will join former Prizefighter winner Michael Sprott, Kevin Kingpin Johnson, unbeaten Mike Perez, Fres Oquendo, 68 Tye Fields, Gregory Tony and Konstantin Airich. The British Boxing Board of Control have passed a proposed rule change for reserves in Prizefighter. Now should a winning boxer in Prizefighter fail to pass a medical to progress to the next stage, the losing fighter can go through in their place subject to the Boards medical offices clearing them to do so. Looks like a good line up to me.
I'm looking forward to this I have to say , Prizefighter follwed by Pacman v Old Man Mosley bring it on.... Any ideas on who might win Prizefighter ? Im going to wait for the draw before backing anyone. Whoever wins the first fight of the night usually has an advantage.
Yeah it's a good move , its happened too many times where a reserve come in late really takes the enjoyment out of it.
That is a strong field of guys. I've been saying for ages that I hope the prizefighter medium is embraced in the same way it is embraced in MMA, K1 etc These are legit contenders looking for a way back. Gomez and Perez could be the best but Fres spoiling tactics and Fields size might work over 3x3.
Good lineup on paper this, I hope Perez takes it. It looks like an incentive for the losing fighter to throw a few unintentional headbutts.
