Patrick Liam Walsh
Stephen Jennings

nathan brough
kieran farrell

 

[Bryn]

Decent line up. What date is this planned for?

 

[Grant]

Sykes has gone from Broner to Prizefighter.

Nice.

Nice.

to be fair he was hand picked for broner they wanted a brit just because it was gunna b on the khan undercard and he realistically wont get another world title chance having lost twice at british title level so why not enter pf from his point of view its a good payday and could get him another shot at british title

Very good lineup and Derry always is value for money an absolute throwback fighter. Probably my favourite domestic fighter of the moment. £30 is decent priced as well. I think I will be going to this.

Crolla's been offered the final slot. Spoke to Eddie Hearn earlier. It's on Scene.

Tbh I think he could use that, I always felt he was punching above his weight (literally) so ideally he'd be back at sfw where I'd rate him a lot higher, but I think he'll find it hard to get back into contention at lw without a decent Prizefighter run

 

[Macca L20]

One of the Smith brothers said on twitter that if Nathan Brough was in it that one person would deffo pull out.
I'm assuming that's a dig at Derry but don't know why he'd pull out.

Eddie Hearn on twitter: Well we got our man..the final piece in an incredible @PrizefighterUK jigsaw..full press release in morning..give you a clue.. $$$

 

[tdw]

Fantastic, surprised that Crolla has gone for it

strange move considering Rees is fighting for a world title so the British, European and Commonwealth titles are all vacant at LW.

Once Mitchell loses to Burns, and Rees loses to Abril we'll get to see some decent fights for those belts.

I think Crolla needs this personally, though I'm surprised they've actually taken it.

I suppose it's different to the quick knockover job, he's got a lot of ability but he's GOT to box. This ''plodding around with the earmuffs on getting hit all night'' style is going to ruin him.

Gallagher is a good trainer but he's in a shocking run of form lately. Time to take a LONG look in the mirror and look at what they're doing.

There's only Quigg in the gym that wasn't banged out in his last major fight... and he was dropped against Jamie Arthur.

I was being facetious fella.

It's a good opportunity for him.

 

[BoxingAnalyst]

I think Crolla will win this.

 

[Back to Bill]

Good lineup but it's still Prizefighter end of the day, it's like putting makeup on a turd to try and make it look better, it just ain't happening.

 

[tdw]

This is a pretty sexy turd... or something like that

:lol: You could give the turd Diamonds and it wouldn't matter, a turd will always be a turd unfortunately, no matter how hard it tries. :lol:

 

[AnthonyW]

Anyone going to this?

I'll be there.
