gnasher16 30,535 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Just off down to the York Hall its not my cuppa tea the prizefighter things but got a decent bet on a local lad Colin Lynes to win,chances are he will meet Junior Witter in the final if they both get there which will be a tough test,both towards the end of their careers.Colin lost the last one to the welsh fella Gavin Rees,hopefully he can go one better tonight. Great old venue the York Hall always sends a tingle down the spine going up those historic old steps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Have a good'un Gnash, I remember Lynes coming through as a prospect. He showed potential earlier in his career, I've not seen much of him recently though, best of luck to him . As far as the Prize Fighter series go, I don't mind them as long as they're taken for what they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As far as the Prize Fighter series go, I don't mind them as long as they're taken for what they are. What a farce that turned out,just shows how unfair sport can be sometimes.....Lynes was without doubt the best boxer in the tourament yet got shafted in the semi final only for the final to be a total embarrassment it was like something out of the bash street kids people were standing around laughing....I felt for Lynes as he did nothing wrong and could have got his career back on track i think he would have beat Witter in the final.....but nobody ever said sport has to be fair i suppose.

Nah, often sport isn't fair but maybe it should be more consistent than it was last night. Lynes won his semi and I don't think there would have been many there last night or watching at home would have disagreed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never got to watch it, I had my Sky sports turned off after they kept on trying to hike up the prices . Don't sound as if I missed much though. Who won in the end?

Don't sound as if I missed much though. Who won in the end? Some Morrocan fighting out of Bermondsey won it ...he was the fella Lynes lost to in the semi....the only people in the whole arena who thought he beat Lynes were the judges !....they were decent fights up till that but the final was a complete shambles....im probably biased but Colin Lynes was by far the best fighter in the tournament and justice wasnt done unfortunately.

Totally agree Lynes was robbed in the semi,s and would have probably won the fina,l its not the first time this has happened in Prizefighter the judges are a joke.
