Taken From SkySports.com today:

Prince Arron survived a scare at the weigh-in ahead of Friday's Prizefighter Light-Middleweights tournament.

Arron, 22, originally scaled 1lb 7oz more than the championship weight of 11st 2lb before a quick exercise session saw him make the weight at the second attempt an hour later.

If he had failed to make the weight then he would have lost his place in Barry Hearn's latest eight-man, one-night tournament where the winner picks up £32,000.

"I thought I'd done the weight, going on the scales at my home," said a relieved Arron at the weigh-in, held at the Lillywhites sports shop in central London. "I thought it was right but obviously it was wrong so I had to go back to the hotel and get it off.

"It wasn't a problem but just a mistake and a lesson learnt - I will use proper scales in the future.

"I've never had that in my career and it's not ideal preparation but it was only a pound and a half and I could've done it easily. In the end I got three pounds off just to make sure.

"I went back to the hotel room and I was just skipping in my sweat suit."

Career-changing
This will be the tenth Prizefighter competition and it gives former champions and ambitious prospects the chance for a career-changing night.

Many former Prizefighter winners have gone on to title contests, including Heavyweights 3 champion Audley Harrison, who meets Poland's Albert Sosnowski on April 9 for the European Championship.

Arron fights betting outsider George Hillyard in the first fight of the night and is confident of defeating Hillyard before winning the tournament.

"I'm 100 per cent here to win the competition. Hillyard is a game, tough boy but the sort of fighter that is made for me and I'm going to box his head off," he claimed.

"Winning Prizefighter will open doors, with hopefully a British eliminator after I win."

So who does everybody fancy in this prizefighter?

I reckon it will be Pryce or Butler.

So come on then BS munchers, who you got winning?

When does it start?

When does it start?

Starting at 8pm tonight and is a 3 hour show I think. Should be good, I quite fancy butler to win and might stick a tenner on him. During the breaks i'll be flicking over to BBC2 to watch the Bobsleigh 4 man comp.

nice one mate

How on earth did Jim Watt give Sinclair that 2nd round against Pryce

Just got in, who is looking good? I hear that Arron is good.

O'Meara looking good.

O'Meara looking good.

Cool. Thanks.

I thought Prince Arron looked ok in the first fight, he didn't really use his height that well in the first fight but had the easiest draw. Against Pryce he's looked brilliant and used his height the way he should.

Yeah he looked good there considering Pryce is the veteran.

Yeah I thought Pryce would easily take it based on the first round fights but Prince Arron looked really good in that fight. I fancy Flournoy in the next semi.

Yeah? he struggled in the Quarters..... I thought. IMO O'meara looks good.

Flourmoy handled Butler pretty easily in the quarters, boxed him well and outlanded him 3-1. Close first round, O'Meara won the first 2 minutes of the round, Flourmoy found his way in the last minutes and started boxing well.

Ahh see i only saw the highlights of that one. O'meara is losing ground now.

19-19 and the momentum is with Flourmoy. O'meara needs to stop bullrushing Flourmoy because Flourmoy boxed at his best so far when O'meara and Butler have bullrushed him.

Flourmoy's jab is dominating

Flourmoy 29-28

I had a cheeky bet after the first round of fights on Flourmoy to win the whole thing so fingers crossed.

Good luck matey.

Good fight, Flurnoy just got it.

O'Mera is class, Didn't he spar with Mayweather ?

My fellow Deptford boy Anthony Small.

Good luck matey.

Cheers mate, only a tenner but i'll win £45 if Flourmoy can beat Arron.

My fellow Deptford boy Anthony Small.

I just wish he was as entertaining in the ring as his swagger suggests.

Tell me about it.

Is Anthony Small fighting next? I've missed some of it, I had to take care of some ****.

Tell me about it.

His last few fights have been awful, only fight i'm really interested in seeing him in is against Ryan Rhodes at some point.

Nah just the prizefighter final now:

Prince Arron vs Breet Flournoy

Prince Aaron looks like a poormans Amir Khan to me.
And I mean that in the niceset way.

I've really enjoyed it so far but I want Flourney to win being a Liverpool fan and all, i've pulled for him from the start...

no hes just ringside

Nah just the prizefighter final now:

Prince Arron vs Breet Flournoy

Thanks :beerchug:

ATM Rhodes schools him.

yep totally plus I think Rhodes is after a World Title fight cos he's not getting any younger and is defo the No 1 in Britain at LMW.

War Flournoy!!!

I got it 20-18 Flournoy although the first round could have been even. I see no way Arron won either round though.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Well well well, a KD, Arron's guard is poor. He could get tagged anytime.

28-28, don't know how it will work out but i'm guessing the knockdown will have won it for Prince Arron.

Barry Hearn is a legde for this.

Fair enough, I had the final as a draw but the lad did really well over the whole evening.

Anyone who helps Audley with his carrer is! aha

On a serious note, I've really enojoyed this Prizefighter!

Yeah I had a draw too but Flournoy would have won an SD if it wasn't for the KD so the scoring was pretty on point the whole night, no surprises. Was a good night and apart from Hillyard or Conception, any of the others could have won it.

Not the greatest night of boxing ever but atleast not the worst
