    Good line up. But I liked the idea that prizefighter was for prospects,novices and journeymen to make a name for themselves and pocket a decent payday. Not that I'm against the bigger names taking part(thought the last was best yet)but if this is the route the series is going,I think the format should be changed to 4rnds. The 3rnd format should not exist in pro boxing,not at this level anyway. This would see the winner having to maybe contest the full 12 championship rounds,which i think is right at this level.

    Hes absolutely wank though, small, fat, cant punch and jus wings in with hopeless punches. If u live in Manchester im willin to put £200 on it says Rees doesnt win it and Barnes does?

    I think David Barnes takes this one, As much as i like Gavin Reese why doesnt he stop being lazy and lose the pounds and make lightweight or even super featherweight he just looks like a little slob when he gets into the ring, I think he could be a real force down at a lower weight.

    "prizefighter" is garbage, as someone else said its preposterous that this gets all these ooh's and aah's and blemishes people's record, Danny Williams would've won that fight against that fat bloke if it was a conventional affair, just class this as a exhibition and stop trying to educate the casuals on violence instead of the sweet science.
