And so here we are, ladies and gentlemen, Nedward Kearns (evil relative of "Eddie Hearns") in association with Don Krease is pleased to announce the long-awaited return of:

TO THE VICTOR GOES THE SPOILS!!!!!

Prizefighter offers an opportunity for lower ranked fighters and the unranked contenders the chance to prove themselves in an open field, where rankings just don’t matter. This tournament is only for the most daring, the bold and the desperate.

It provides a new surge of life to the Champion’s record and an IBO Title shot, while winning the Prizefighter trophy:


Rules of Prizefighter:
1. Prizefighter has been scheduled for three tournaments this boxing season : (Weeks 10, 20, 30)

2. Eight fighters in a series, first come first served. But only 1 fighter per Manager: (spread the opportunities around.)

3. Prizefighter will be run true to life... A straight KO format, series run in a single week.

And What happens to the Prizefighter Champion?
4. The Prizefighter Champion will receive a mandatory IBO Title shot the following week. (Weeks 11,21,31). This is a Mandatory title defence for the IBO Champion.

FIRST NOTE: If the IBO Champ refuses the title defence, he will be stripped of the title and the Prizefighter Champion will participate in a title fight against an opponent chosen by the Commish.

In the event of a draw?
5. If a fight goes the distance, here is the systematic criteria which is followed until we find the victor:
* It goes to the judges cards.
* If tied... It goes to the Commish’s card.
* If still tied... Total knockdowns scored (aggressive fighting is encouraged).
* If still tied... Most punches landed.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
Who can enter?
There are only 2 conditions: (rankings must be accurate of weeks 12,20,30)
A. For fighters ranked below 15 on the Commish’s official rankings
B. For fighters ranked outside of the title rankings.

SECOND NOTE: If a fighter signs up for Prizefighter and on the week of the series breaches the above conditions he will be considered ineligible.

What about later tournaments?
C. The Prizefighter Champion cannot re-enter a later series. Why repeat yourself?
D. New blood is preferred in later tournaments. But fighters who have entered previous Prizefighters can also enter, but will be placed on the “maybe” list until the week of the series.

What about the draw?
E. The eight gladiators will be numbered by Don Krease. A copy of the numbers will be sent to a neutral Manager (to prevent any claims of funny business).

Julian Jackson will enter.

Seeing as how Tommy Ryan has no specific path that makes sense right now he might as well enter this thing.

Unacceptable rules favoring clumsy heavy handed fighters........Hopkins could surgically beat one of these primordial oozers into a froth, but a couple of flash KD's could tie the score if the judging is corrupt....and in turn hand the decision to a Julian Jackson type.


Unacceptable to a sophisticated manager such as BoxBuzz. GBP fighters will be instructed to boycott this sham.

He is truly suffering from that shellacking Hopkins handed to him. Our condolences to his career which has been ended early by the Executioner.

We will do the same for Nino.....but you don't seem to be falling into our trap....yet.

Nino has offered to fight Golovkin and Floyd. Both of which make more sense. Nino has not yet fought above Jr. Middleweight, and you're asking him to fight Hopkins. Why would you want Hopkins to be embarrassed by a career Jr. Middleweight like that?

What an excruciating showing of cowardice, Buzz.

You have spent the last few weeks lambasting Mr Gilgamesh for refusing matchups that you want - yet between your trio of chickens, there's not a man between them who can step forward to the Prizefighter challenge.

Poor form, indeed.

The useless French cunt is in.

Sandro Mazzinghi is in

I will fill the remaining 3 slots with high-ranked CPU opponents and we'll make the draw for this shortly.

And a big congratulations to Marcel Cerdan and his Manager, Mr P4P1.
