Not really my cup of tea, I find the format leads to scrappy fights throughout, which I don’t tend to enjoy as much as regular evenings where you get a mix of fight types.

I’ll still happily watch a one-night tournament, but prefer things like the Super Six or WBSS where you have a tournament over a period of time. Although admittedly they can be a ballache when it comes to injuries / replacements etc.

No. Tournaments are ultimately meaningless and they put stupid losses on fighter's records, like James Toney 'losing' to Jason Gavern.

Prizefighter got a bit overkill whilst Eddie struggled to fill dates as he built his stable but when Ultimate Boxxer came back I started enjoying it again


I noticed Jack Cullen got done in a round in one of they tournaments, anyone any idea what that was, cant remember it being PF or UB

If you are a fan of championship boxing I don’t see how you can massively enjoy the one night format.

I love those big fights that have the potential to go 12 rounds and the impact this has on the approach of the boxers.

The slow build, the anticipation, the tactics.

You just don’t get this with a series of 4x3’s where the fighters are either looking to take each others heads off or sword fence.

It doesn’t help that most of the fighters involved are relatively low-level, for obvious reasons. Imagine a Prizefighter with the top 8 current heavyweights, it’d be fvcking crazy :lol:
