PRIZEFIGHTER DEBATE: 'SH1T' or a 'HIT'?

I think its **** but it looks like its staying :-(

 

I have never bother to watch any them, I am not a fan, the exception being when Audley Harrison partakes.

 

i like it. It is by no means the furture of boxing, but it is nice every couple of months to have something a bit different to watch

 

It's a bit of both. But when you get genuinely talented guys & former champions fighting in these tournaments it's kind of sad in a way. If I was pushed I would say it's **** but at the same time I can see the attraction for those impatient ******* casual boxing fans who can't sit through a 12 round fight.

 

For some it could be a nice little way to see out their career, especially if they win it

 

its **** but i like it

 

Its something a bit different. Would I prefer the contestants to be fighting in 8, 10 or 12 rounders? Of course I would, but Prizefighter has gave us some good moments - Murray vs Renda was a great fight, same with Rogan vs Dolan in the first Prizefighter. Plus, it gives exposure to lesser known fighters (although it seems that may decline due to the standard of the competitors increasing) and gives them a platform to build on. Would we have ever seen Rogan vs Skelton if Prizefighter wasn't around?

 

I think it serves it's purpose.

Championship level fighters shouldn't fight in it, unless they are in the last chance saloon, but for area level and fringe title contenders it's great I guess.

A bit like T20 cricket - the likes of Graham Napier love it, but Ponting and Tendulkar hate it.

(That's like comparing Audley Harrison with Evander Holyfield and Muhammad Ali!

 

I like it. If you don't take it too seriously its an enjoyable night of tear ups. Sorry if that makes me a shitty boxing fan....;O)

 

Yeah but it's not nice to see former champions taking part in what is, let's face it, a cheap and gimmicky tournament. Each to there own but I wouldn't like to see a boxer I'm a fan of in Prizefighter.

 

I'd rather watch a good fight card of "conventional" fights. To me Prizefighter is like the UFC, not as good as 'proper' boxing but something I can enjoy with a few tinnies and a pizza. A good blokes night in!!

 

I hate the fact that I like it.


It's on just about the right amount of times per season, is getting better names but it can't be allowed to become more prevalant.

 

I don't like it at all ...I think it degrades the sport..
it is also a bad accident waiting to happen

remember bami v lomax in their final?.. one had stitches in his head and other had a broken nose...both those lads were ****ed going into that final...
now, imagine someone just about making the final, scraping through two hard fights and is bollixed in the final and has to meet the only southpaw in the tournament, and say he's never faced a southpaw before and hasn't trained for one and this lad is a banger and knocks him out...the combination of a bad knockout and exhaustion could have terrible consiquences. I'm telling you, I can see it happening
it's fairground strongman type stuff.. no place in a professional setting at all

where will it end...tag team boxing??...it wouldn't surprise me
