Cant wait for it, even in the McCloskey fight aint amazing.

If you want tickets or a bus arranged from Dublin give me a shout.

slapbangwallop

Shocked at the lack of interest in this thread, whats going on here then?

Anyway, looks like Woodhouse is out.

cowzerp

No 1 in it excites me and I'd say it's the same for most people, hope it goes well

Starting @ £30 up to £75 I reckon. If there is enough interest we will run a bus.

Like I say all the tickets we sell will be from fighters allocations so ALL the money goes direct to them and no booking fee etc.

McCloskey will destroy Woodhouse. Anyone any ideas of odds here?

Read the second post mate, Woodhouse is out.

Personally I think they should have should have just announced the Prizefighter and everyone would have been buzzing. The McCloskey fight is only a distractions - but adds value to a £40 ticket in my opinion.

Dublin mate yeah. dependant on demand there might be a pick up in Drogheda/Dundalk.

Will be a good buzz on the bus and a chance to meet fellow fight fans.

I find that strange. Considering that Lee and Macklin wouldn't enter what Irish middleweight would you like to see in it?

Personally I find Prizefighter very exciting as long as I leave my purists gay at the door and it's a great way to get casuals interested in boxing, I've brought lads along to it in Liverpool that have never been to boxing before and it's hooked them in.

slapbangwallop

The four confirmed for the Prizefighter so far are -

Eamonn O'Kane
Mark Heffron
Anthony Fitzgerald
Joe Rea

four more to go and 2 subs!

slapbangwallop

Dias seems to be on the slide lost 4 from his last 8 which seems to let McCluskey in with a great chance

Big Ears

It's got to be O'Kane or Heffron for me, but Fitzer has by far the most experience as a pro and is the only man going in there with a 'World' ranking. A win here would be huge for any of the fighters, but he's the one defeat would probably hurt the most, and thus has the most at stake.

Jamie Conlan added to ‘McCloskey & the Prizefighters’ bill in Belfast

McCloskey, the Prizefighters, Martin Lindsay and now Jamie Conlan. Shaping up to be a cracker of a bill.

joepenguin

This will be the most interesting and exciting bill Ireland has ever seen.
Why? None of the fighters are from the fearsome Latvia B team. And shock horror... We will see competitive fights from start to finish.

Paul's a nice guy, very honourable but his style bores the hell

barney4001

new opponent for McCluskey DeMarcus 'Chop Chop' Corley he has lost 8 of his last 10 so probably an easy night for Paul

If anyone needs tickets for this, give me a shout. Fee booking, credit card, handling fee etc.

The fight will probably start around the 4am mark, so I doubt you're gonna find anywhere that's showing it at that time!

While I saw them as the two favourites pre-draw, a tough opening round match up can often take guys out of the running in Prizefighter. If the winner puts everything in to that fight, they might become easy pickings for somebody else later on. It's opened things right up. It is worth noting though that they will also have the longest recovery time between fights, so it's a bit of a mixed blessing. It should make for a really interesting night.

according to todays Irish Mail Corley wants to back himself to ko dudie he wants a grand on
it happening

Jayob10

i'm putting a wedge on Corley to be honest, I think even a shot Corely could be too good for Dudey unfortunately.

duagre

Corely is past his best, but I wouldn't say shot. His recent record is misleading, as he has been the b-side in pretty much every fight. There's a few he's been unlucky with the judges and a few he was flat out robbed. He generally does better than he's expected to.
