Prizefighter - International Heavyweights: The Sweepstake

[Frutos]

Tonight (9pm, Sky Sports 1) sees the latest installment of the Prizefighter tournament series and the first version to feature international fighters rather than just Brits, so I thought I'd run a little fun sweepstake for anyone interested. Obviously as there are only 8 fighters in the competition places are limited, so the first 7 to reply to this thread will get a spot in the random draw. The lineup for the quarter finals is as follows:

Mike Perez (Ireland/Cuba) vs. Kertson Manswell (Trinidad & Tobago)
Evgeny Orlov (Russia) vs. Gregory Tony (France)
Michael Sprott (UK) vs. Tye Fields (USA)
Lucian Bot (Romania) vs. Konstantin Airich (Germany)

Should be an interesting night combining a former Prizefighter Champion (Sprott), a former World Kickboxing Champion (Tony), a former Cuban amateur standout (Perez), an unbeaten prospect (Bot), a fighter who holds a win over Danny Williams (Airich), two giants (Orlov: 6'9'', 22 stone and Fields: 6'8'', 19 stone 5lbs) and the holder of the very prestigious Trinidad & Tobago Heavyweight Title (Manswell).

So, who's going to join the fun?

Yep, count me in. I think the series has suffered a few barbs recently, justifiably. This one is intriguing though.

 

[Frutos]

3 spots still available.

I agree that the series has certainly had its ups and downs but it generally makes for a decent night of boxing.

Have they changed the "reserves" rule for this comp?

They have - loser can go through if passed medically fit if winner is unable to progress.

 

[Frutos]

Have they changed the "reserves" rule for this comp?

I'm not sure, I know there was talk of them changing it (and rightly so IMO) but I can't find any confirmation of them having done so.

(Still 3 spots left in the sweepstake if anyone else is reading and fancies a go).
