What i've seen in tonights lightheavyweight Prizefighter tournament makes me sick.The bookmakers are handing out back handers to the judges and promoter for sure here.Its soo obvious.I smelt a rat as soon as i lost out when i put a bet on Nigel Wright to win the welterweight division of the series!!
Is it a Con or what folks?I think it is!!!
Please someone make a poll on this matter,it'll be interesting to see the overall percentage to the question!Thanks!
So nobody else thinks this tournament could be fixed by the greedy bookmakers?I've mentioned it months ago that i think it is and it even proved more soo last night as for you's who watched it noticed that the favourite"Tony Oaky"won the tournament out right after beaten the well worth fighter of the night"Stubbs".Oaky was supposed to have fought the unbeaten,taller,rangerer fighter Dilks in the final.But it was'nt to be was it after the judges change their minds (after recieving a back hander from the bookmakers:mad::rolleyes:)all of a sudden after 10minutes of the semi final.It was fixed.Oaky deserved to win,dont get me wrong,but Dilks was robbed of the chance to fight him in the final.For me Dilks would have won it as well!!I hope DILKs make a appeal against this matter.Same happen to Nigel Wright when he fought Lomax at the semi finals of the welterweight tournament last year!
the scoring through out IMO was poor
in dilks' first fight one judge had all three round to him and there is no way he won the third
Not seen it yet I SKY+ it.
I think your right, from the other Prizefighters I have watched. The betting is always dodgy just like the judging.
Yvonne the scoring was abosute sh*t however i do think Oakey was the winner his tyle is made for this comp but the scoring for the rest was terrible it reminded me of wrestling years ago when it was pre-arranged. Nigel Wright incident was the worst i have seen don´t know if i will watch again:mad:

Calm down yvonne ;D
The bookies LOSE when the favourites win. Oakey was BIG favourite over BOTH those guys. The bookies would have needed Oakey to lose for them to win.
The scoring incident was clearly a big embarrassing fuck up. I'm sure no one involved wanted it to happen.

Im not happy,i feel sorry for the fighters really.You have Wright who was robbed"He made an appeal!!!"and there's DILKS"He's making a appeal"Soo that says it all!!
can't comment on that particular fight as I skipped out to watch John Mugabi, came back to hear of the confusion. Hell even I can count to 30.:p
Best part of that show was seeing Barrera look in good shape;D
