Prizefighter is back today with a welterweight tournament featuring veterans Junior Witter, Colin Lynes and Kevin McIntyre, and potential darkhorse Yassine El Maachi, plus, you know, a few other guys, including unbeatens John Wayne Hibbert and Bobby Gladman, Nathan Graham, and journeyman Peter McDonagh.
Here are the first round matchups:
Kevin McIntyre (28-7, 9 KO) vs John Wayne Hibbert (7-0, 4 KO)
Colin Lynes (34-8, 12 KO) vs Bobby Gladman (7-0-1, 0 KO)
Junior Witter (37-4-2, 22 KO) vs Nathan Graham (11-2, 5 KO)
Yassine El Maachi (14-4, 5 KO) vs Peter McDonagh (16-20, 2 KO)
The show starts at 3 p.m. EDT on Sky Sports 1 in the United Kingdom, and we'll be here with live, round-by-round coverage of all the three-round action. My pick is going to be El Maachi, as much as I'm not a big fan of his. I just think he's got the right draw and the right skills for this setup, but I give Lynes a good shot, and my deep upset pick is Hibbert pulling a Rocky Fielding on us.

I’ll go for the same two, Lynes and El Maachi, but would favour Lynes.
I really don’t see Witter winning. It’s not his style and he’s shot anyway.
No doubt he will stink the joint out as usual.
Yeah I won’t be at all surprised if Junior drops a 2-1 decision in the first round.

Hibbert’s hat looks like it’s from a Halloween costume.

McIntyre-Hibbert R1
McIntyre wants to rough it up, and is doing so effectively in the first minute. Now jabbing some, finding some range. Left to the body from the southpaw McIntyre. McIntyre tying up nicely when Hibbert gets inside, which is where Hibbert wants to be. Referee letting them wrestle and work their way out if they want to. McIntyre’s jab working well, now shoots a left uppercut. Trying to catch Hibbert with the right hook coming in too. Hibbert looks a little outmatched by pure experience here — McIntyre just has more tricks.
McIntyre 10-9
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
McIntyre-Hibbert R2
Hibbert has the crowd behind him but McIntyre is just giving him all kinds of trouble. He’s making Hibbert miss, cutting off his charges, and landing the better shots, even though he’s not landing anything too serious himself. Just outclassing him a good bit.
McIntyre 10-9
McIntyre 20-18

What is with Kell Brook’s voice??
I can guarantee most Yorshire men sound more like Jonny Nelson or Witter.
Brook sounds more like Yorkshire women.
He’s gonna have to sort that out if he gets on the world stage. :)
He needs one Matt mate. Jesus.

McIntyre-Hibbert R3
Hibbert fighting like he needs to, looking for something big, but McIntyre still making him miss. Good right from Hibbert after a left hook. He’s pressing really hard, but not landing consistently. McIntyre playing keepaway, tying him up. McIntyre doing about as well as Hibbert this round, too — working his jab to end the fight. I give this round to Hibbert, but first two to McIntyre were clear IMO.
Hibbert 10-9
McIntyre 29-28

Just the one fight you missed, and it was typical solid Prizefighter fare.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Yep it ain't cheap.
My lad just moved out, so I cut one box and HD package, it went from £82 to £62, so I tried to haggle and ditched movies. The twats still wanted £52. that was a sports packaged and loads of shitty arsed channels showing repeats. I lost my rag and told them to get f’kd. Probably shot myself in the foot though.
Just to compare, I pay about $220 for cable/internet monthly.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
And if it weren’t for boxing being on subscriber channels only, basically, I can guarantee you I’d pay $60 for internet and $8 for Netflix and that’s it. I watch fuck all except boxing, football and basketball anymore, or at least fuck all that I can’t just watch the next day on Hulu.

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Scott
we have to (by law) pay a tv licence here, even though the same channels are on Sky. So, in effect, we have to pay twice. The bastards come down hard on you if you don’t pay.
About £150?
Wow, that’s expensive. You will get more channels than us and better stuff though probably.
Yeah I have a ton of channels. I watch very few of them, though. At least my wife watches some TV shows so I don’t feel like it’s a huge waste.

COME ON RYAN!
Had a ridiculous bet tonight which involved Rhodes winning in the 8th (66/1) on a massive accumulator for £4 worth £17,000. Naturally, I just lost the first bet going with Hibbert instead of McIntyre. Bleh.

That’s the way i do it. Bet small to win big.
Don’t know if you remember but a fella won an accumulator for a few hundred grand (might have been over a mill, not sure) a few years ago.
I think he put £1 on about 20 bets. :)
Sheeeeesh. Well, I’d take a cool £17,000 nonetheless! I’m counting on Witter winning, Lynes winning, Lynes in the first, and El Maachi, then I’ve got Price in the 7th round, Rhodes in the 8th, and I did have Hibbert, but he dicked up.

Witter-Graham R1
Junior being Junior, working outside and trying to land sneaky stuff and stay out of any trades. Witter’s like a lot of guys, time has just betrayed him. And I will go to my grave saying he’d have beaten Ricky Hatton had they met when they should have. Graham trying to box, too. If I were him I’d be bullrushing Witter something awful.
Witter 10-9

He’s one of the most boring fighters of all time, imo.
Whenhe wants to, he can turn it on. He just rarely does.
What about that Judah fight? All time stinkeroo!…
There’s a rumour the promoter used to take a chunk out of his purse to pay people to come and see him.

Witter's beating him mentally above all.
Graham needs to start slamming that head into Witter’s chest and wailing away.
"Occasionally, there is a boxing match that, in its demonstration of skill, courage, intelligence, hope, seems to redeem the sport - almost. Perhaps boxing has always been a sport in crisis, a sport of crisis."
Witter-Graham R2
Witter just too good for Graham here, or rather Graham just not good enough for Witter. He’s trying to find openings, but Junior is just too quick for him. Now Witter showboating and getting booed for it. But when he pops Graham while showboating, they like that. Typical Witter.
Witter 10-9
Witter 20-18

Witter-Graham R3
Witter picking Graham apart without much flair. Graham chasing a retreating Witter around the ring. Typical Witter. Duck, dodge, run, land a couple.

Also, generally good news further to Matt's post the other day.
Gennady Golovkin’s come to an agreement with Universum and they’ve agreed he’s free as of November.
"Occasionally, there is a boxing match that, in its demonstration of skill, courage, intelligence, hope, seems to redeem the sport - almost. Perhaps boxing has always been a sport in crisis, a sport of crisis."
Yep, I don’t see how they can’t want him. I’ve watched quite a few of Golovkin’s fights, and he’s just got absolutely everything. I figure DiBella goes for him, seeing as he’s shown a fair amount of enthusiasm for non-American fighters, and considering Golovkin will think that gets him closer to a shot at Martinez.

He already tried signing with Top Rank before
But TR backed away. Golovkin had to push his fight a week back and fight in Panama instead, changed only a few days before he was slated to fight on Top Rank Live.

Witter has underrated power
He mostly just chooses to play it safe and not actually throw hard punches, which would require him to set his feet.

I have to say Witter is looking like the favourite, imo.
i didn’t think his style would adjust to the 3 rounders.
I figured it could go one of two ways – he’d be cold and the style wouldn’t work in three round format, or exactly what has happened, that being the three rounders make for easy work for him.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Yep, Witter's not really taken much punishment tonight
So he should be fresh. He’s usually fairly fit too.
He looks in very good shape. Maybe he’s got one last little run in him.

Adam Smith and Glenn McCrory sound offended by El Maachi's style.
This is much closer than they’re making out. El Maachi’s caught him scare with quite a few left uppercuts.

Thats the thing with Prizefighter
Some win who would lose in a longer fight, and vice versa.
Not always, but sometimes.
Gary Sykes got KO’d in Prizefighter but is still British champ at 130lbs.
He’s a 12 rd fighter.
Definitely. Sykes is a really good 12 round fighter because of that unbelievable stamina, but he does take time to get going. In hindsight, that probably wasn’t a great call going into Prizefighter.

keeps calling Ward a “feather duster” puncher.
I know it’s tongue in cheek but Ward hits more than hard enough, imo.
Yep
Ward will be teeing off on him, imo.
But then again, i think Froch will keep coming.
Could be a good one.
Froch is always waaaay too easy to hit.

This has got to have odds on stinkbomb potential.
Saying that, over three rds, maybe not.
Thank God it’s not a 12 rounder.
Witter’s been more entertaining than usual, at least. That’s not saying much.
