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

I'll go with it's ****, yet enjoyable.

 

I like that it can change careers and unearth a fighter or help someone who really needs the money but as for the boxing itself...it's mostly unskilled and reckless and can be boring...once you seen one or two you pretty much seen it all. Imo what makes a fight like Hagler-Hearns and so many other epic wars great is that they could box for 12 rounds but they don't they go straight at it and it also tests a fighter to the maximum...3 rounds of war doesn't imo.

 

I voted i liked it, but its a bit **** I just ejoy it in a trashy kinda way.

 

this^^^


i jest, clearly. maybe we can have a ref



prizefighter gives great exposure to guys some people wouldnt give 2 tish for. guys who lose can argue that it wasnt a true pro fight so it wont effect them. the guys who win can say they are the best of the crop. also these are not far off than amatuer fights in the pro ranks. this isnt as degrading as i thought it would be at the time it was anounced.

danny williams is still fighting, barker is now considered a british title contender and audley has rejuvinated his career after losing to another prizefighter champion.


but as dougie said nobody should fight on if he has been injured to an amount where he is ineffective to fight. if you break your nose in a fight, it's either too bad to continue or when you finish the fight you are escorted to the appropriaste authority's. sending them back out to fight is horrific. the guy is already beaten and bruised. the adrenalyn has gone and you are left spent and bleeding. on that aspect it has a ton of negative criticisms.

 

Thats a good way of putting it!!

 

BTW the options are a bit leading. If you like it you also have to think its "innovative" whereas if you don't like it you merely have to think its "****".

 

The last one was good. They gotta get the contestants right or its a bar room brawl and a joke.

This one shapes up pretty good, shame its Lynes/Barnes in the first round.

 

Its better with the big guys, theres just more scope for them getting tired and landing a Hail Mary.

 

edit

 

Largely shite, though I'm not 100% against it. It has its plus points.

 

I don't like it. It's a circus act, and I don't class it as officail boxing.

It was done to get excitment. But I don't think it was needed. People need to enjpy the art of hit and not being hit to more.

 

I like it but I don't think guys who hold any domestic/wolrd belts or fight at a decent level should be taking part. Leave it to journeymen and younger fighters.

 

Agree.

 

I like it. It creates interest and is very entertaining when the right people are involved. It means very little but it gives us a chance to see guys that are off the beaten track.

 

I agree.

It is the boxing "light" of the fight game.

Im not sure it should count on the contestants pro records as a three rounder is a whole different kettle of fish than a "proper" fight and isn't really comparable skill wise.

It is great entertainment though and it's a good vehicle to give over the hill fighters and young prospects a first/last shot at making a name for themselves with the general public.
