PRIZEFIGHTER WAS FIXED

[sp1]

they fixed prizefighter so Oakey had an easier opponent. Fair play to Stubbs but I feel he could have got seriously injured in there, his conditioning was poor at best, probably due to the fact that he has not endured many long fights in his short career.
We all know Oakey can do 9 rounds at a ferocious pace. In my opinion Oakey should not of been in there his experience was far too great. Although I felt Courtney Walsh edged their bout, and Richie Davies missed the butt that caused the cut (fair enough can be missed) then Oakey went for another butt as well, and nothing was said. As for Adam Smith, in all the years he has been coveing boxing he still hasnt got a clue, at least Ian Darke became reasonably knowledgeable.

Courtney Walsh could set a ferocious pace in his day

btw you're talking utter nonsense, did you think Ted Bami was to experienced in the last Prizefighter?

[Tykemania]

I don't think it was fixed, but the judging was poor - Ajisafe should have gotten the nod over Dilks, who was robbed by Stubbs. Fry/Oakey was a close run thing too.

[knightster]

I think the frantic pace of the 3 round format does make it harder to judge. I guess if you're in the competition, the only way to make sure that you get through to the next round is to go for the KO.

I was there last night; I thought Dilks was robbed of an appearence in the final, but my mate thought the opposite.

All that said, I had a few quid on Oakey to win the whole thing, so I am not complaining. DD

I must say they were all very hard to score, But in saying that if i was in Dilks corner he would have be in that ring for the final or else there would had be no final. Once a decision has be giving i have be told by the BBBof C it can not be reversed and i can vouch as i have complain about a few bad decisions in the pass the decision and use tv tape to show how wrong the judges got it and have be told we might agree with you but once a decision has be giving it can not be changed. I look forward to seening the BBB of C response to this matter. I know what i would be doing if i was part of team Dilks.

Total shit last night, if u have anything about you at lhw then there if f*ck all to worry about bob, dilks, boyle, stubbs and spartcus is clearly finished(not that he was really ever there to be truthful. Fry hangs his chin in the air which could be dangerous in the future. He can make it to b ritish level at best and as for Oakey, i dont know because the others we shit but good for him i wrote him off completely and chose Boyle over him

I dunno what they looked like live, but on telly I didn't think there was too much hard to score over either of those decisions. Ajisafe kept Dilks totally subdued with his jab and hand speed and it only ever looked one way - the boos at the end and derision in the Sky commentary team augmented that view - whilst Stubbs was great to watch but shipped three for every one he landed.

I agree with you but the diffrence with the Dilks and the Stubbs fight was the decision was changeafter it was called. And Dilks was called out as the winner.

[stujones]

I didn't think Oakey lost a round in the whole of the tournament. The fry contest had some close rounds - but Oakey won them all for me.

[rhino222]

i was there last night, i thought fry just outscored oakey, and i thought dilks clearly beat the brave but 'right hand happy' limited stubbs, oakey knew that dilks was the opponent to beat in the final, once the decision was changed oakey knew the cheque was in the bag.

all in all it was a good nights entertainment, but off all the boxers, i feel that dilks is the only man who can progress to british level and beyond (obviously im ignoring the likes of oakey who have already 'been there done that')

but hats off to tony oakey, great guy who took his opportunity, great engine, great heart too.

Oakey reminds me of a Mexican clubfighter - plenty of guts and amazing fitness, just lacks the finesse and pop to get over to the next level. Nathan Cleverly showed how easy it can be to keep him at length and outbox him.

[Asterix]

The only boxer who didn't look bad was Tony Oakey. The problem I have with last night's tournament is that the quality was lacking.

Well done to Oakey. He made it sound like it would be quite easy money for himself when he was on Setanta, and he was right.

[Londonirish]

Your right as we'l all saw the fight, but Tony only had a few weeks notice against a fighter on the way with thats full of confidence who was already training for that Date, lets not forget that

It was a good night of fighting imo Didnt have time to be boring....

[tonyevs]

Oakey just seemed to be enjoying himself so much .. he knew his style was the formula to win it everytime.

The format of the competition doesn`t really enable alot of skill to be shown, and to be honest the crowd don`t really want a boxing match over the 3rnds .. they want a tear-up. So I guess thats why people may complain about the percieved lack of skill.

Oakey will have gained alot of fans after last nights show .. he is as good in front of the camera as between the ropes .. my wife was certainly taken by him

Welldone to all who took part.

Spot on

[youngrell]

I have to say, while I think Prizefighter is a fantastic concept, I really can't enjoy it that much, it's more like wrestling. Because there's only 3 rounds and limited fighters involved they just try and bulldoze each other and nobody really gets any clean shots off. Sky and Hearn go on about this is what boxing needs, this is entertainment etc. not for me fellas, exciting boxing for me is when there's 2 quality fighters tagging each other all night.

I think if they are going to use lower level fighters then they should all have good KO ratio's, just to stop the mauling and add a few KO's or KD's.

Still though, it's good for betting

Stubbs has been boxing professionally for 7 years and has fought and won 10 rounders. On both counts this makes him one of the more experienced men in the tournament.

His conditioning seemed fine to me.

Menatally it must have been difficult to prepare for the final, having originally been told (incorrectly) that he lost the last bout.

[stujones]

How can anyone say they fixed it for Oakey.... he argueably had the hardest of the quarters and had the favourite in the semi?

[hitman09]

I thought the whole thing was a joke, I had Dilks winning every round v Stubbs, and losing 2 against Ajisafe. How fvcking hard is it to score 3 rounds? And count them properly?!!!

darren is far from poorly conditioned this guy is up doin plenty of roadwork and does countless rounds sparring that was a bit below the belt and obviously u dont know much about boxing and how hard it is to have 3 x 3 round fights in 1 night, this guy got himself it good condition, like whicker said has boxed pro plenty of years, how is that a short career?? cuckoo

I agree that Cleverly had the advantage of time to prepare, but he also managed to clearly outclass Oakey, which I though was disappointing given that Oakey had previously been all over Dean Francis until caught and had such a long history in the game. That isn't to detract from his acheivement on Friday by the way, merely to emphasise that the quality wasn't that great.

[Spud]

Thought Tony Oakey did bloody well - I certainly wrote him off due to thinking Billy boyle was the "dark horse" to have a flutter on to win the whole thing - so again well done to Tony.

Dilks in my opinion got cheated out of things !! - just my take!!
