    I like Colin Lynes, always have done so even before his "peak". However, I don't know if he's there for the right reasons. Obviously this is only a belief I have and not something I know for certain, but I believe that Mutley, Rees and Bami are there soley for the potential money that can be earned.

    Barnes is trying to save his career and Grant to make a name for himself. Prizefighter is often won by the guys with the most desire to achive a career victory rather than a cheque.

    I think if Barnes beats Lynes he will win it.

    If Lynes wins..... it's wide open.

    The only fight I am certain of is the Jones vs Mutley one..... Jones will win. Rees will probably beat Bami - I've not seen enough of Grant or Cook to make a comparison between them.

    Good post. I think Rees will win it but Jones is my outside bet.

    no the weight limit is always a bit higher in prizefighter as its not championship fights.

    Does anyone know what time the fights usually finish?

    I'm going to be struggling to get the last train home as Prizefighter live action usually finishes after a normal FFN which ends soon after the main event, so around 11pm.

    Tough one to call this, no doubt the most intriguing Prizefighter to date. I like either Lynes or Barnes, but Cook has got a banger's chance as has Muttley...
    I really don't give Rees that much of a chance though, despite him being a popular choice for favourite. All depends how the tournament goes, but he doesn't have the power (as an overweight featherweight really) to get a KO and he doesn't have the talent to outbox Lynes, Barnes or Grant.

    Mmm he can bang but aint been looking good lately, not since Anderson burst him, but you cant rule him out for sure cause he can hit

    I agree he should be a lot leaner, bit of a barrel, no need for that shite

    They all can make 140lb if they wanted to, this 143lbs catch weight is a laugh.
