Two boys who normally fight on the same cards in Newport against each other there. Turley v Arthur.

I actually quite fancy Arthur to win this now.

Thanks for that and x 2 Arthur for me - top half of the draw looks tough to me

think owen will win this now hes got the easier draw

Why has Ricky Owen been so inactive recently - only one fight in nearly two years? PF isn't exactly the best stage to shake off ring rust.

Where'd McCullough go?

I'm so bored of Prizefighter.... they should have 3 or 4 a year max. I won't even bother to watch this

i think if they keep to a good standard of fighter , or even ones that are recognisable names then they can keep growing in popularity , but i know this super bantamweight tournament hasnt really caught many peoples imagination , so maybe if it doesnt do so well , they might think of making a few changes , i for one would like to see international fighters come in to it and maybe do like a build up program to it , it would come across maybe like contender but at least all the fights would be shown live and in one night , build a bit of a relationship between the fighters and the fans and i believe that even if lesser names are included there will still be good viewing figures due to the build up . would only need 1 build up program of maybe an hour in length , show a little bit of footage of training and interviews with the competitiors and then maybe a highlight reel to end the show.

I agree about the international fighters. Only problem with that maybe that they start bringing in some of the Euro Journeymen in which would ruin the show for me.

I must say I really enjoy prizefighter. It is one of the only contests that MAKES the boxers go straight out and try to win the match (if that make sense).

Cant wait for Arthur V Turley, purely because I've watched them both fight numerous times. Turley always brings a good following, so would be good if some of them travelled to support him.

Here's a recent interview with Turley

Willie Casey will win this easy,saw him fighting in Limerick last year and he battered his man.
He is just back from Canada where he stopped an undefeated boxer there,he also is the highest ranking boxer here tonight and he is 11/2 with the bookies which is savage value,get on fast you were told.

Someone mentioned Holyfield and Tyson for a heavy prizefighter. What would you guys think of that?

Normally, I'd be against them fighting but the format may suit them and they are huge names. Plus they could do with the money! Riddick Bowe too.

Imagine....Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe, Skelton, Sprott and then maybe a few of these up and coming domestic heavies. They are the types of line ups they have to go for in my opinion to take the format forward. A couple of big domestic names, a couple of big int'l names with some prospects.

Regarding the SBW show, looks like there could be a few scraps on it!

I do think josh wale can pull this off and win outright, he has the style fitness youth to cause an upset at 11-2 he is defo worth a flutter all the best to him

Quarter-finals

Mark Moran v Willie Casey = I have'nt seen Casey so I aint sure coming off a good win in Canada. Moran was Great as a Am tough one to call..
Esham Pickering v Josh Wale = Josh Wale
Robbie Turley v Jamie Arthur = Jamie Arthur
Gavin Reid v Ricky Owen = Ricky Owen been out for a year but winning in a tight one.

Semi-finals

Moran/Casey v Wale = Wale
Arthur v Owen = Arthur

Wale vs Arthur = Great fight non Stop really hard to call, going with Wale..

Anyone think we will see any KO's tonight?

Excellent fight to start the night! Get your money on Willie Casey while you still can!

Wale has a bad cut and wont be allowed to go on with that and then casey will have to fight either Pickering or a sub!

I doubt it to be honest. If he gets to the final he will be doing well.

He needs a bingo shot in every fight and is wide open

We knew Willie would be king
