As its only 3 rounds its anyone fight really, however Bennett is ok over this distance and will work for 3 rounds. I can see Bennett winning this fight 3 rounds to zero. Palata is an unknown quantity so im not really sure how I see that fight going. Soko is the dark horse in this comp he can and will ruin dreams, but, over 3 rounds its anyone fight.

I can’t view it for some reason

[Ruthless-RKO]

Sean Turner is out.

[Gnome]

My pick to win was Josh Sandland. He got drawn against Sokolowski in the first round, that's a tough fight. Shame they're meeting so early.

McFarlane - Bennett
Webb - Healey
Palata - Danny Whittaker (Turner's replacement)

[handsofstone]

Not the greatest line up, pity Turner pulled out, I fancied him to win it probably, maybe edge Webb now ,Sokolowski's always a handful, I wouldn't mind seeing the Scottish fella McFarlane win it, I seen an interview with him the other week where he said him and his siblings ended up in an orphanage in Thailand or somewhere as kids after their mums fella got caught using the family holiday as a drug run

[THEBUTCH]

Poor line up this time. Let's hope they all want to put on a show.

I'll go for Mark Bennett.

[leftrightleft]

Wish the kamil and sauland weren't fighting each other straight away. I got kamil winning this or mark Bennett from what i've seen hes big strong fit but not much of a boxer but its only a 3 rounder anyway. Palata i havent really seen him fight properly tbh and webb idk if hell do much. Kamil-sauland i actually dont know who wins. I got webb beating healy like hes already done before. Palata should be beat that whitaker without much of a problem and Bennet koes Mcfalane.

[MasterG]

Poor line up this time. Let's hope they all want to put on a show.

I'll go for Mark Bennett.

Im going to have a chat with Mark now see how hes doing, and ready for Friday.

[Gnome]

I think the winner of Sandland and Sokolowski wins the whole thing.

[Stuarty]

I think the winner of Sandland and Sokolowski wins the whole thing.

Yeah agree. Pity they're fighting in the opening round really. Fancy Soko to come through and win full thing..

Ultimate Boxxer 6 Heavyweights on Dec 13 in Manchester, live on BT Sport 1

Ultimate Boxxer is an exhilarating night of boxing and the latest version will see eight professional heavyweight fighters put it all on the line to win the Golden Robe in a one-night knockout tournament. The tournament will start with four quarter finals of three x three minute rounds between some of the UK’s top heavyweights before two semi-finals and the showpiece final fight for the Golden Robe.

UB 6 FIGHTERS

JONATHAN PALATA

allegedly-fighter Jonathan ‘God Speed’ Palata (7-0) enters the fray at UB6 with an impressive and unbeaten professional record, following a stellar amateur career which saw him rack up an ABA Novice Championship, London ABA Championship and he also won the prestigious Haringey Box Cup. He fights out of the famous Peacock Gym in Canning Town. Joins with fast hands and big reputation which sees him tipped as one to watch in the competition.

NICK WEBB

The Scott Welch-managed contender Nick ‘Wild’ Webb (13-2) enters UB6 with an impressive professional record. A big name in the heavyweight scene, he has 11 wins coming by way of KO against opponents such as Ferenc Zsalek and fellow UB6 contender, Chris Healey. He has been frustrated by title fights with Daniel Dubois and Nathan Gorman falling through in the past, and will be hoping to put his only defeats to date against Dave Allen and Kamil Sokolowski (who also joins the tournament) firmly behind him.

JAY MCFARLANE

Glasgow hard-man Jay ‘Ghost’ McFarlane arrives on the UB6 scene as the youngest fighter in the tournament at just 21. He spent some time in a Caribbean orphanage as a youngster, and has dived into 14 professional fights already in his career. He fought in NYC at Madison Square Garden against Matt McKinney in March 2018, and dropped to 14 stone 4lbs to fight for the Scottish Cruiserweight title, which he won against Ratu Latianara in June of last year.

KAMIL SOKOLOWSKI

Familiar face and Polish-born Kamil Sokolowski started out as a journeyman.Those defeats came against the likes of Dillian Whyte, Kash Ali and Gary Cornish. Since then, he has change tactics, refocused his efforts, and has improved dramatically under the watchful eye of Gavin Lane at the Barum Boxing Club in Barnstaple. Only Whyte and Nathan Gorman have stopped him in his career and he’s already beaten UB6 contenders Nick Webb and Sean Turner. Tipped as a dangerous darkhorse.

CHRIS HEALEY

Representing Manchester on this heavyweight show is ABC southpaw Chris Healey who has been dogged by injury after winning six of his first seven professional fights, but the 31-year-old is keen to show he’s back to his best after major back surgery, and the loss of his father in 2016. His last two defeats have been against fellow UB6 entrants Mark Bennett and Jonathan Palata.

MARK BENNETT

Former army man Mark ‘Bad News’ Bennett (5-0) toured Afghanistan before a serious injury forced a medical discharge. He then took up boxing as a 27-year-old, and has never looked back. He hasn’t lost a bout at amateur level or amongst the professional ranks and now relative unknown Bennett could come into this as a dark horse having already beaten Ferenc Zsalek and fellow tournament entrant Chris Healey in his professional career.

JOSH SANDLAND

For former professional rugby league player Josh Sandland (4-1-1), Ultimate Boxxer represents another chance to succeed in top-level sport, having played for Huddersfield Giants and Wakefield Wildcats. He triumphed over fellow UB6 competitor Jay McFarlane earlier this year and showed the danger he possesses. His only defeat came to Tom Little two years ago when he had only just joined the professional ranks.

Danny WHITAKER

Late draft Danny Whitaker (2-0) represents Yorkshire in the event. He has been a big player on the white collar scene before his knockouts impressed his manager enough to convince him to turn professional.

Since then he has had two convincing wins in his start as a professional. He comes in as a late replacement for injured Sean Turner and at this stage would appear very much an outsider.

Spoke to Mark Bennett yesterday hes says is going in the tourny to win and knows its not going to be a push over. I think most people and Mark agrees that Soko is the man to beat. No injuries to report that should hinder his chances. As Always Bennett is going to give it his all and see how things pan out.

[rm1]

Good tournament this in what is a very lively division domestically, Sokolowski has to be favourite given his experience but Palata may make an impression either way should be fun and I will be very glad to see any of these lads pick up a decent paycheck for a change.
