Aright they mate.Good for you to show us the records on each fighters in the tournament.I watched SoccerAM this morning when Barry Hearn and crew where discussing the the tournament in futher detail to the viewers.He mensioned that if this new U.K Heavyweight devision goes well then he's planning on doing the same tournament next year but including Middleweight too.He said he'd like to do all four original wight divisions e.g Featherwight,Welterweight,Middleweight as well as the Heavyweight.Should be good a prospect to look forward to.Anyhow talking about the Heavyweight contest....i reckon Dolan will win it as he is from the same area as me (Northeast)and he's 3/1 at the bookmakers to win.What do you reckon about the other weights being involed in the future,do you think it'll catch on?

Yvonne, I watched Soccer AM too and I'm looking forward to this, should be a good night next Friday

Alright they!It was interesting was'nt it?To be frank with yer,i only knew one or two of the other fighters apart from my local boxer David Dolan.Like Hearn mentioned on the show that he and the fans watching will expect a all-out action packed night of big slug fest bout,due to the fact that each of the bouts are only four rounders!Should be good to watch!Im going to have a flutter on Dolan to win at the price of 3/1.The prospect of lighter divisions in the future in the tournament should be a GREAT IDEA!

Three undefeated fighters in there, along with a couple of big hitters too.

I remember seeing Darren Morgan a few years ago on a Calzaghe undercard, and I just remember him being crude, quite fat, but hit like a truck crashing into a shed at 40mph.

Unfortunately, I don't finish work until 10pm this Friday, so I'll miss a couple of the early bouts. Should be entertaining stuff though, and someone's '0' will certainly go.

Hi they U.K boxing fans!For all of you who missed the Live discussion of the New Heavyweight K.O Prize-fighter Tournament with Barry Hearn and the 8 fighters of the tournament that was mentoined on SoccerAM on the saturday gone....It's shown again NOW,on Sky Sports1.....Enjoy!Let me know what you think of what is said by Barry Hearn!THANKS

Actually looking forward for this, hope it runs smoothly with little delay between the bouts. I know very little about the fighters, and from the clips I've seen most of them are awful, shuld still be entertaining.

People from Sunderland are expecting Dolan to walk this.

They were also expecting Newcastle to get relegated from the premier league after the first 20 or so games of the season. Dolan's a big favourite but there's plenty of competition in there, and I think the format will favour those who'll swing at anything rather than any 'boxers' in there.

lol. They hoped for that but most Sunderland supporters expected them to do well with Allardyce as manager and Ashley`s cash.

Without knowing enough about these guys, looking through the form it must be between Rogan, Dolan and Kenna (unsurprisingly the top 3 in the betting) but the 3 rounds make it a lottery job.

Kenna's win over Julius Francis looks outstanding in this company

I assume the winners names go back in the hat after the quarters?

Just seen Hills have the reserve Derek Chisora as 2/1 favourite

Anyone got a list of odds?
