I am looking forward to this should be good. Is anyone going?

I fancy Cookie in this

I'm going for Cook he has a very hard draw but he is suited to the format he has power, aggressive and good chin I think he wins it.

Barnes for me.

I think Rees is dangerous, after all he is a "former world champion" ;;-) but he would be far better in a lightweight version.

Barnes for me , he looked pretty slick in his fight against Morrison
think he can take this if he sticks to the boxing.

Its ahrd to judge the Prizefighter though as theres always a few shocks thrown in.

Rees....

Done an interview with him at Boxrec News for anyone interested...

Cant see Cook winning this didnt look good in his last But what a Knockout


Im going with Grant in this one, not all would have seen him, the Kid is Class...
Best Quality Prizefighter line up yet

barnse wont win it he has all the skills but to lazy and slow and he has no bottle

Barnes for me, the only doubt I have is his inactivity but if he is at his best he cruises to victory!

Cook's chin has been some what questioned in the past.

Barnes for me but Mutley at 16-1 looks outstanding value.
He's got Barrie Jones first and I think he'll take him easily enough,

This is the closest prize fighter going. So far I usually pick one, and then a "back up" and usually one of these either wins or gets to the final.

First time I picked Dolan and Kenna as the back up.

Second time - I picked Sexton and Kenna as the back up.

Third - I picked Bami with Mintor as the back up.

Fourth Murray and Renda as the back up.

Fifth - Oakey with Fry as back up.

6th - I didn't pick as I didn't know enough about many of the competitors.

7th - Francis with McKenzie as the back up.

8th - Williams with Harrison as the back up.

This time a serious case could be made I would say 6 of the 8 contenders. The two I really don't fancy are Mutley and Bami.

Cook and Rees have a style that should suit the format. Rees has shown a fantastic engine in the past and I think is fresher. Cook is going to look big at the weight and has the power.

Lynes has that piston jab, and loads of experience - can he do it in the shortened format.

Barnes has alot of ring craft and experience now. A very awkard fighter to beat on points.

Barrie Jones is better than his record suggests, brave, good chin and has youth and freshness on his side. Again, a very fit guy.

Michael Grant - has some slick skills, very good amateur and must see this as a great opportunity to kick start his career. He's young and this is make or break for him, surely.

I would love to see these 8 battle it out over 8, 10 and 12 rounds.

My pick is Lynes, my back up is Jones. But not confident at all - Rees is the other one I am thinking about picking.

only 1 ive got wrong so far is when i picked dean francis

What size crowd are they expecting?

I can see Jones winning this Lomax style

Who do you reckon is your biggest competition?

try climbing out of his crack Lenny

I'm picking Rees. If he was more active I think he'd be too good for the competition, but he isn't so its far from a foregone conclusion. That said, he's clearly up for it, although I'm sure all the lads are. I still think the format will suit him though and rekon he'll have enough to win it.

He has been largly inactive since Kotelnik. I know he had a fight not so long back, but he should clearly have been more active since the Kotelnik loss. I'm not saying its been his fault and I'm not trying to rub people up the wrong way. I know he's already posted in this thread and may well read my comments at some point. That, however, does not change the fact that I wish he had been more active over the past few years. His inactivity should be factored into his chances in this competition. An active Rees would be any easy pick for me in this competition, but one easy comeback/ tune- up fight in two years is not my idea of an active fighter.

Sorry? I wanted to know who Rees felt would be the toughest fight. I just posted before that I was tipping somebody else.
You're a strange fella aren't ya?
