    Tomorrow better be good or this will fall on its face:

    All other Prize fighters have been unbeaten prospects or complete tools. When i first heard of Prize Fighter i was expecting a few snoozers and mostly good battles but they have mostly been the other way round. Mostly with fighters with little power.

    Tomorrows should be good all fighters have a decent KO% besides micky steeds. Francis has the highest KO% of around 70% while the lowest steeds has 18%. The prize fighter series shouldn't be about building up a fighter for bigger things but one last chance to make a pay day.

    Another good thing is that all fighters have been KO'ed before too. Which gives the added excitement to the fight.

    Francis will definitely start out the favorite but he is known for starting out slowly.

    There is a big question mark above a few fighters such as Corbett who has fought once in the last 5 years and Bruce Scott who hasn't fought in 3 years. Even Terry Dunstan who has fought once in 10 years.

    The only fighter i can see building on this win is Dean Francis who in my opinion should have out grown this competition.

    Also in the mix of fighters is the very very crude brawler Orvil McKenzie. Who comes to fight although sometimes you can see what way he will throw his punches on teletext the night before the fight.

    Also there is Neil Simpson who got the hardest draw against Dean Francis.


    I like the way this Prize fighter looks on paper rather than the youngsters.

    I for 1 am looking forward to a fast and furious few fights and a few clash of styles mainly Corbett vs Steeds.

    Dean Francis v Neil Simpson
    John Keeton v Bruce Scott
    Terry Dunstan v Ovil McKenzie
    Mickey Steeds v Darren Corbett

    I can't wait either. Its very difficult to pick a winner. Francis said he's going to come to fight, where-as if he said he was going to jab I might have been more confindent of him winning. Someone who starts fast and can box will win so Neil Simpson is a capable outsider. Its entirely dependant on whos got what left? Prime for Prime Dunstan or Corbett would win this. Now its a toss up.

    If Corbett gets through Steeds i think he will get to the final i see him as the 2nd favorite although I'm being biased :lol:

    I think I will watch Holby City instead.

    The only way to get Clubfighter right is to get rid :deal

    I can't believe I'm going to say this as he's one of my favourite fighters, but I hope Dean Francis doesn't win. It would be better if someone younger and more willing to be at his natural weight class won.

    Although Orvill was the better, fitter and lightest boxer Keeton was completely out of puff and could hardly throw a punch, a poor final bout.
