I didn't watch it to be honest and haven't looked at the results. Best of luck to the lads but there are a few too many Prizefighters for me; I'd sooner see a decent UK card, there's not that many on Sky now for the cost.

Re christened pillow fighter.
It looks dated as a concept now and worn out by 30 events already.
Time to move on.
On the basis Eddie is conquering the world, about time we had a few super 4's - starting with the middleweights.

I watched the full thing. The first time in a while I've watched it right through. It was very average. No real surprise that Camacho won. It was a poor field.

Pleased for Wadi - hope he cracks on. Did Dawson and Conquest rematch?

Poor Prizefighter to be honest. Every Crusierweight one is the same in what is a very poor division

There have been some awful prizefighters but this was the worst by far, terrible fights and the standard of boxing was at times embarrassing. The only good thing about the prizefighter was Ian darke who is sky's best boxing commentator by far

He should save the cash and run some Super 4/6 etc


I would love to see some of the current 140/147 elite in a Prizefighter. What purse would need to be up for that you reckon?

Isn't Conquests' trainer from your neck of the woods, Darcy? He ought to be able to shed light on it; I was interested if he could stand with Dawson in a rematch.

I watched it and thought it was an absolute piece of shit. The winner was levels above the others.

its gone it was great at first due to the mixed participants such as david dolan and audley harrison and everyone seemed to have an equal chance but now the gameplan has been laid and fighters box accordingly and usually the 1st or 2nd faves win

When I watched the first one, I got the feeling it was supposed to be a vehicle to springboard Dave Dolan's career.

i think it was but he hasnt managed to match his am career in the pros.

matchroom have changed the definition of prizefighter a few times since the begining

Expose new talent (dolan, Rogan) give big names a 2nd chance (rees,Aud) back to expose new talent to a wider audence (ovil, Wadi)
