    I'm gonna watch a bit more of Johnson first...... having Boxrec'd him there isn't a lot worth a wank on there, tbh.

    I've only seen the briefest of highlights on him tbh. Just worry that losing on points to Vitali is almost becoming a prize in itself.

    I seen a good few Johnson fights but i don't think he is up to beating Vitali right now. He is a bit green for the fight right now i would have been a bit more confident if he had taken out Solis which i was expecting him to do.

    Lynes is fave to win Prizefighter :think

    If I was going for an outside bet it would be on Barrie Jones at 10/1, although Rees should win it (2nd fave).

    I havent seen him for a while, but he's 40. Can he do enough work to get a decision in Germany?

    Quite fancy David Barnes for Prizefighter, 9/2.

    Just inactivity that could be a problem.

    true, hes the most talented of the bunch but hes also become a slow starter in the pros, so that could be a problem over 3 rounds.

    I'm just gonna lay against Colin Lynes.

    It's a shame how his career has gone downhill over the past year and a bit, he really looked to be going places. Don't get me wrong, I never saw him winning a world title, but he could have gotten a shot down the line, and was capable of being dominant at EBU level.

    Too much of a frontrunner. I hate to say this about a boxer but he lacks heart and determination. Even against Branco he can only blame himself, I thought he won but he let Branco sneak into it and have a say. Then quit against McCloskey.

    Fair point - he ought to have beaten Witter really, but didn't - the whole fight sums his career up.

    The All Blacks have named their strongest XV, with Carter replacing McAllister...... I fancy them to give England a real hiding - hopefully (if it happens) bringing the end of the disastrous Rob Andrew regime.... and with it those **** poor, unproven coaches such as Callard, Wells et al - and that stupid academy system, which doesn't produce hardened rugby players.

    If I was to bet on the All Blacks/England game, it would be for value and I'd go with an England/New Zealand half/full time double @ $6.50.

    Apart from the Italy game and when they were level at half time with Wales, the All Blacks have been behind at half time in most games this year.

    Cheers about Leeds. Yeah, they're paying $1.95 for the win, and from what I've read this season, they're in **** hot form.

    TFFP, thanks. I think Kessler should get through, but I'm only going from what I've heard about Ward. I'm yet to see him fight yet.

    No problem man, just my opinion.
