  • Official Prizefighter - Light Middleweight's Thread

    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.

        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.

                    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.
