After his win at the weekend, I can see Skelton been in there. Would like to see Big Bad John given a go too.
How about that Canadian guy Fury beat last time out too? He would be interesting over the three round format.

[soulboy]

Yawn , another load of has been bums no doubt all pushing into their latter boxing years.

[stujones]

Sosnowski maybe - given his links with the Hearns' surely a possibility.

Audley is fit again in may - very last chance saloon for him?

[funso banjo baby]

[JC]

Get Alex Leapai in there he'd be perfect for the format.

[Bennyblanco]

Anyone but McBride

[Datsue]

Get Alex Leapai in there he'd be perfect for the format.

Leapai's got a proper fight, hasn't he? I thought Kevin Johnson was going over there to jab him to death?

Apparently him and Johnson are somehow contesting the Australasian HW title. But if he was to lose that fight in March he could fight again in June.

[funso banjo baby]

warning though

the last hw prizefighter was really poor value

and no one else seemed at all bothered that 'big name' international fighters were listed on the website and on adverts right up to the final week....EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NEVER ACTUALLY GOING TO FIGHT !!!!

thats a pretty crappy way to treat fans

and ive been a huge fan of hw prizefighter from the beginning

Australasian these days means Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and anywhere that has a Pacific or Indian Ocean coast.

I recall a few of the drop outs, but they seemed to not be any fault of Matchroom

Kevin Johnson was stopped from flying out of the US at the last minute due to problems with child support

Martin Rogan dropped out because he decided he wasn't in shape at the time. (not sure if this was in part due to an injury)

Fres Oquendo's best friend died just before the contest.

Juan Carlos Gomez had visa issues.

Just a run of bad luck for the organisers. They did the best they could to recover the tournament with replacements. It put Perez on a lot of fan's radar, so it wasn't a complete waste of time IMO.

[damianhucker1]

I always get interested when it comes to a heavyweight Prizefighter , and International is good for me as long as theres 2 or 3 UK heavies involved

Id Like something along the lines of

Matt Skelton
Richard Towers
John Mcdermott
Tye Fields
Nevan Pajkic
Chauncy Welliver
Amir Mansour
Hasim Rahman .

Could also swap any of those brits for Larry Olubamiwo , David Howe , Tom Dallas , Audley Harrison *(although hes fighting in may) and
Michael Sprott .

gomez and johnson were NEVER coming.
we can argue this til the proverbials come home. but my point is that at no stage did any of the brightsparks at matchroom feel the need to update the information on their website (at least their website for f**Ks sake.... how difficult is that.)

and as we're clearly in a 'lets all defend matchroom' mode....just remember these were the guys that promised a 'big name wild card'.....


turned out to be Declin Timlin




at the very least Boxrec should avoid listing scheduled fighters until they actually turn up in the country. matchroom clearly sets out to deceive and this lowers the already poor level of prizefighters. the reason i didnt go to the last one...is cos im not an idiot

can't fault you there, and i feel the same

[mjl78]

The following should provide an entertaining night:

Nevan Pajkic
Shannon Briggs

Martin Rogan
David Tua

Richard Towers
Mike Perez

Alex Leapai
Matt Skelton

[Horse]

Anyone but McBride

He did okay the last time he was in it.

[JDC]

Price could do with the exposure, as well as the test.

too risky for him only a 3 rounder anything can go wrong i agreed when harrison went in there but not price hes only young in heavyweight terms and is a good prospect, theres no point putting him in there with a heavy handed veteran with nothing to lose. price would have alot more to lose going into prizefighter because hes nearly at european level already.
