Thread: Prizefighter this Friday who you got?

As usual couple of casulties have took the gloss off but still few decent names in there.

Grant v Cook
Bami v Rees
Jones v Mutley
Barnes v Lynes


Im going with the semis looking like this

Grant v Rees
Jones v Barnes

Rees v Barnes

Im taking Barnes at 5/1 £20 quid on him

I know that Jason Cook has been training very hard for this as he lives near me.


He has been going up to london and Bristol to get quality sparring and his weight is on target.


He looked bad in his last fight but I hope he can find his old form and win it.

Looking at the draw I think Rees and Lynes. Trouble is they're first and second jolly.

Barnes might be the value but he hasn't fought in yonks, has he?

Hopefully, considering we've supplied three out of eight, hopefully we'll get at least one Welshman in the final.

Although Gavin Rees is the ex world titlist, he shouldn't really be a light-welter, could do with being a division or two lower. I reckon Bami might beat Rees, but get outdone by Barnes in the final.

Good shout I think Bami could be a handful for Rees especially with Rees style.

Think Barnes is suited to the 3 rds

Yeah Barns is a good bet,he stands out.Mind you the dark horse of the bunch could well be Cook,after all his last fight he had he got a really good win by KO,and he still looked fit and with the Prizefighter being 9 whole mintutes of slugging Cook could well be a winner or at least in the final fight.

Could someone find the odds of the fighters and put them on here,i would be interested to see the odds!Thanks

Here's the odds I've just whipped off betdaq for you at the moment:

Rees 2/1
Lynes 10/3
Barnes 6/1
Grant 7/1
Jones 15/2
Bami 10/1
Cook 10/1
Mutley 100/8

Any other fighter 7/2

Good to see that any of the subs are third favourite for this one!

Rees is shite, I am backing Bambi, but Barns will win it.

I always had the same problem with Gavin Rees....he was blatantly a huge underdog against M'baye, and won the title simply by trying harder, combined with Mbaye being lazy. Despite being a Welshman, Rees will be proving me wrong if he takes the Prizefighter title tomorrow.

Bami has a chance if his chin holds up , hes good over short distances.

Bami was poor in the "prizefighter welterweights," and is coming off a KO loss to Matt Hatton. I can't have him. What Rees lacks in size he'll make up for in workrate. Bami will need the KO to get through that.

Barnes-Lynes i can't split. But i'm picking Lynes because Barnes hasn't fought for 17 months and is flying back into a three rounder.

Muttley must have struggled to do this weight and is coming off a sparko job, so i'll take the younger Jones in that.

And unexposed Grant over out-of-retirement Cook. Cook is a heavy puncher though, Grant has been floored, so wouldn't be surprised if he made it through.

Overall I'm sticking with Rees (with a saver on Lynes). You can get better than 2/1 (11/4 WH).

Didnt realise Grant was in it, He is a Dark Horse if He is fit.

David Barnes all the way

Cant believe Rees is favourite at the bookies!Barns is a realistic bet,mind you i've got a bet on Jason Cook at 12/1.He has a chance with Prizefighter being a slug fest kind of tournament.His last fight was a great KO win for Cook,he still has aggression and power.

His recent fight in september,still has power!
