    What I mean is, isn't Herbie the only one with any real prospects? I can't see any of the others even matching up with Norton. Even if they did it wouldn't be the most exciting of prospects.

    Surely we should all be rooting for Herbie to win this in devastating fashion to help fire him to his long awaited title shot? Does anybody see it differently?

    And he really should do just that, this format is made for him.

    I think the most disapointing thing about this Prizefighter apart from how overcooked it is now is the participants except for Hide.

    In past lineups even if they havn't all been quality there have been young, upcoming fighters looking to make a name for themselves. Think of Flournoy and Arron last time out.

    This one seems to be a concoction of has beens and neverbeens.

    Still kind of excited to see Hide do the job.

    On paper it should be a walk in the park. A very violent walk in a park full of hapless victims and witnesses who will be cheering rather than whistling for the bobbies.

    I think a lack of action has encouraged them to do this all the fights are going to be pretty devastating by the looks of things so plenty of action which was missin from the light welter/light middle ones. End of the day we all know prizefighter isnt for boxing purists and is attracting a casual crowd that want to see ko's.

    A shut out loss to Hastings Rasani automatically puts Williams in the neverbeen category...

    Lewis-Dickinson is a bit **** to be honest but I take your point on that one. The rest though...

    Hide is many levels above these guys but he is old and chinny. Chingangu should never have beaten him but that is Herbie.

    In terms of legacy I would not like to see someone like Hide beaten just because he mixed it with some good fighters and deserves some props.

    Has his power eroded or does he not punch as effectively? I reckon its more likely the latter. Maybe dropped a little speed, natural given his age, and not timing punches as nicely as a result. I bet the raw power is still there. I suppose we'll find out against this level of opponent.

    So I've never actually watched PF, aside from some highlights on Youtube for a few alumni of interest.

    Is it a single-elimination format?
