Was just looking at the heavyweight prizefighter thats on this weekend. My smart bet is to just bet against McBride in his first fight. He hasn't won a scrap in yonks 4 years and has lost his last 3 and his last one to a guy half his size and with a losing record. To be honest I haven't seen Egobi fight but he has 10 KOs in his 18 fights and 7 of those have come in the 1st round. If you put that along with Kevin's glass chin, I think there could be an early stoppage. Franklin Egobi is 2/1 with Betfred.

The heavyweights take center stage for tonights Prizefigter, and the two standout names this time are Micheal Sprott and Matt Skelton both would no doubt love to follow in the footsteps of Mr Harrison after he won the last heavyweight Prizefighter.
If you leave out Kevin Mcbride the top two have more wins than the rest put togather, but befor we lump on lets remember Prizefighter has proved anything can happen, and usually does.
Skelton(43) is first up against Ali Adams 9-2-1 (3) who has sparred the likes of Tyson Fury and Chisora, he's tall and meant to be pretty quick, althought from what i've seen he has little power and is not that fast, Skelton will be up for this and will maul and bully his way to victory.

Sprott's is up against Danny Hughes 7-1-2 (2),Hughes gave Harrison a run for his money in the last Prizefighter, i know its boring but if Sprott is on his game he should see himself past Danny.

Egobi v Mcbride has been nicley covered, Egobi 15-3-0 (10) has'nt fought for 2years but that may not make a diffrence, both can punch so the value is with the Nigerian.

The way to bet Prizefighter is in-running,and thats what i will be doing,
And i wont be surprised if we end up with a Sprott Skelton final 2/1 Sporting.

Don't think this format will suit Skelton tbh and don't want to take Sprott at short odds after his KO to Harrison. As mentioned anything can happen so I will just be watching, but good luck with your bets, I may get involved in running after I've seen a few of the fighters in action.

Well done to Kevin McBride. Didn't think he won that fightt to be honest. But it was a very dull fight. It will be interesting against Skelton. Skelton should shade it

I liked the way Timlin blocked punches with his face

Really pleased for Sprott, not a classic final but it was never going to be.
Sprott was odds against going into the quarters Very Happy
