The Prizefighter tournie

Anyone else following this over the past few weeks.

I hope it doesnt turn into a flop with a finalist being not allowed to fight because he picked up a nick and then a sub coming in and winning it.

Anyway we have Big Marty Rogan and Colin Kenna fighting. Might put a couple of quid on Marty.

I missed the draw for the first round on Soccer AM (because my chauffer was outside waiting to bring me and the future Mrs.Sligobhoy to the grand national - thats another showoff story) but its seems that the three favourites (David Dolan, Marty and Colin) all avoided each other - was the draw seeded?

Will you watch it? How do you see it going?

dolan is favourite
David Dolan who won a super heavyweight Commonwealth Games gold medal in 2002, they are 3x3 minute rounds.

Big Ears

Ibbs isnt unbeaten , he lost his last fight .
If Dolan can avoid being bombed out by Morgan he'll be the clear favourite, but as pointed out Kenna and Morgan have a decent shout .

The bouts are 3x3 .

The Arbiter

No the draw wasn't seeded they were randomly picked out of a bag on soccer am,i'll be watching tonight,i hope Colin Kenna does well.

raven136

not the best of quality but this is great craic

cowzerp

I put a few quid on 3 of the fights, a treble and trebled my money!!! im enjoying this..now need dolan to win next for more money then win overall for more again-:D

The Arbiter

The quality of the fights are not that good but there is some exciting fights(more exciting than some heavyweight fights i've watched recently).Dolan looks to have that bit of quality and fitness needed to win..

The Artist

well well poor dolan pity.He fought well,his jabs,uppercuts,speed was brill.Rogon was pretty cut up by head collisions but i find rogan a dirty fighter.Dolan was down on the first round but picked up,stunded and ok.Second round was a belter and dolan won that round.Third round dolan down again still trying to continue and he did!Rogan won from the knockdowns of dolan.If it was a 6 rounder i think dolan would have knocked rogan out!

MBC

Well done Martin Rogan........the whole night i taught was great excitement and the final was very entertaining........i was on the edge of my seat really shoutin for Rogan to do it.

Dolan is good but seems a bit small for heavy weight.
