Does anyone else agree that these tournaments are total rubbish?
OK, they are good for the fans to turn up and watch.
But, take the light-heavyweight one back in January.
That gave us Billy Slate who was a two fight novice, out of action in over a year.
He fought Jack Morris, also out of the ring for over a year, and he could probably make light-middleweight if he trained down.
Why were they even there?
In the same competition we had Tony Dodson and Travis Dickinson.
Would the BBBC have sanctioned bouts between Slate or Matthews against either of these two?
It is only three rounds, but a boxer can still get seriously hurt in that time.
This one ended in total farce when both Matthews and Dodson had to withdraw with injuries, leaving Sam Couzens to get to the final, and a nice payday, without throwing a punch.
I'm a light-heavyweight! I could have done that!
In the next one we get the returning Robin Reid and, even more bizarrely, Adrian Dodson.
As long as Tony Quigley doesn't get cut he is laughing all the way to the bank.
Call me a party pooper, but one of these could end in disaster

ANY fight can end in disaster.

I wish an American tv chanel would broadcast Prizefighter, even if it was a few weeks after the fact.

How is boxing that is "good for the fans" rubbish?

To my knowledge Prizefighter has never tried to act like they have great fighters competing in their tournaments.

prizefighter is show in canada with a few week delay and i always love to watch it !

great idea for a boxing show and long may it continue. gets people interested in the sport - i know people who have never been interested in boxing before but they have sort of heard of prizefighter.

some are poor and some are great - bit like any sport really

Looks like there planning an internation Heavyweight one for the same night as Pacman and Mosley.

could be interesting if few big punching heavys in there
