The_budweiser Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Joint favourite Gavin Rees has been handed a tough draw by Floyd Mayweather Jnr in Prizegighter Light-Welterweights. The former WBE champion will face 'Dangerous' Ted Bami in the quarter-finals of the last-man-standing, £32,000-winner-takes-all tournament at Olympia on Friday, December 4. Bami, a former European champion himself and a losing finalist in the Prizefighter at 147lbs, and Rees 11/4 joint favurite with Sky Bet, will face off in arguably the pick of the draw, made by none other than Money Mayweather himself. The other eye-catching quarter-final clash pits current British champion David Barnes against another former European king, Colin Lynes. Young Muttley is likely to be happiest with the draw as he has avoided the big names first up and has been put in with late call-up Barrie Jones of Wales. But he will face the winner of Lynes-Barnes should he make it to the last four. The other quarter-final bout sees Jason Cook, a former European lightweight champion in the second stage of his career, come up against the unbeaten Michael Grant. Prizefighter draw QUARTER-FINALS Michael Grant (Tottenham, London) v Jason Cook (Maesteg, Wales) Ted Bami (Brixton, London) v Gavin Rees (Newbridge, Wales) Colin Lynes (Hornchurch, Essex) v David Barnes (Manchester) Young Muttley (West Bromwich) v Barrie Jones (Newbridge SEMI-FINAL Michael Grant or Jason Cook v Ted Bami or Gavin Rees Colin Lynes or David Barnes v Young Muttley or Barrie Jones http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12183_5716056,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telboy66 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 This looks on paper to be the most competitive Prizefighter so far my selection for the final but without much conviction is REES V BARNES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieboy Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 This looks like the best prizefighter by far. last two shows have had a better quality of boxers on them. Think the format suits Ree's style so he's my pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieboy Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I went to the lightweight PF in Glasgow at the Kelvinhall. Was a good nights boxing. I'm also surprised that the prize is only 32k especially with boxers like rees having won a WBA title. I wonder what his purse was for that fight and his defence against kotelnik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telboy66 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Here's an interesting one to ponder how much did PBF get just for drawing the first round matches I bet it was more than 32k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
