    Well the Supersix is taking to long, the general public don't even give a **** or know the concept of the tournament.

    I enjoyed the last Prize Fighter i must say, so far in 2009. "The Heavyweights Prize Fighter" has been one of my best nights of entertainment in live boxing for me personally.......not many people will admit it here, but i bet you "EVERYONE WAS WATCHING" and entertained.

    You had Audley Harrison coming back, Danny Williams.....two fighters who viewers empathize with. I just think because of the individual fighters that where in the tournament, and thier stories......it just made the night mean that much more.

    People don't understand, Audley Harrison had to win that tournament for the sake of his career. This was it for him, technically Danny Williams was out of shape, Audley Harrison was mentally scared. But Olympic Gold Medalist know how to win, and Audley Harrison won..! when he needed to win.

    The Supersix so far, does not feel like a tournament to me...!

    Its lasting too long, the fights are too far apart..!

    I hope Jermaine Taylor wins it, somehow..

    He's the only fighter i really like in it..

    I have no problem with it and have, mainly, enjoyed the events. They're only on every few months so it's not as if it's stealing fans away from the "normal" events.

    I sat through two hours of that **** to see some some dude skillessly lunge, swing wildly and cause a cut on the only person I was interested in watching. It was annoying enough that Hide went out, but what about the dude who was knocked out? Why couldn't he progress instead? In a moment of pure petulance, I immediately switched it off in anger at what I'd witnessed. That is quite possibly one of the most annoying things I've ever witnessed whilst watching boxing, and usually I'm quite a passive guy. I will never watch that **** again. **** it.

    Last night's card was truly woeful. I mean how the **** has Kahut got 4 wins on his record? I think Prizefighter can be decent if they get the right names on the card but last night was **** poor.

    When it started I thought there would only be 1 or 2 shows a year and I didn't mind that.

    But now there seems to be one every 2 or so months and the competitors are getting worse. Last nights field was pathetic (Hide and Dickinson aside).

    Barry Hearn seems to think that this is what the fan's want. Well he can **** off, I'd rather see a 12 round British title fight than that bollocks we saw yesterday. The Mayweather-Mosley weigh-in was more interesting for ****'s sake!

    -prizefighter and super-six are a result of scared promoters and the recession.
    -Herbie Hide is working for the bookies
    -sauerlland is conning fifteen quid a fight out of fans for the next 2 years
    -there's no alternative,so i'll have to lump it

    I liked the first couple, but I definitely feel that it's run its course now. Last night's one was ****ing terrible.

    Basically....

    The Welsh guy has got a tough head and a moral victory and stories to tell after lasting the distance with Hide.

    Hide gets a couple of grand, a win and keeps his WBC ranking. Fighting on would have been a big gamble for him. A loss and he could have thrown away his WBC title chance.

    Dickinson, looked good actually, decent chap.

    The wild card gets £16k out of the blue.

    The solicitor guy was terrible... his punches were not coming from another time zone they were from another era in boxing.

    Entertaining none the less.

    I agree with some other posters...The first few were great, it was what we needed...:yep

    It is to often now and the calibre of opponents is going from one extreme to the other...:yep

    I think that they really need to tighten up the criteria to enter...:good

    I think that they need to have it 2 or 3 times a year max...:good

    The problem is that there is TV money to be had and a lot of weight divisions to have a crack at it...:yep

    They should have a Prizefighter where if they have had two competions at the weights the show should be a box off for the Champion of Champions in Prizefighter, but I guess they have thought of that long ago and it will surface in good time...:yep
