Barry Hearn offers his views on the next Prizefighter line up

Matchroom's top man and the promoter behind the crowd-pleasing Prizefighter concept, Barry Hearn, gives his opinions on the seven confirmed fighters for the next event - the light-welterweights - scheduled for London's National Hall, Olympia on December 4th.

Ted Bami (Brixton, London)

"The Barber from Brixton can knock opponents out with either hand but can be caught a bit open so you know you're in for a slug-fest when Ted appears in the ring.
 
"He has the ability and is hungry but, in this company, will need to bring his best punching power on the night."
 
David Barnes (Manchester)

"He is one of the tournament favourites. He has got it all - power, skill and movement and I know he is hungry to be the next Prizefighter champion. He is right up there with every chance but has to get out of the blocks quickly.
 
"If you lose the first round in Prizefighter then you've got a mountain to climb."
 
Jason Cook (Maesteg, Wales)

"Back from a lengthy lay-off, he has the power to knock any light-welterweight spark out but there has to be a question about his ring-rustiness.
 
"Can he motivate himself to bring his A game? If he can and be at his best then he is a real danger."
 
Colin Lynes (Hornchurch, Essex)

"Colin is one of the best ring stylists in the country with adeceptive amount of power.
 
"He has to start quickly as you don't get much chance in Prizefighter but when it comes to heart, passion and desire, he will not be found wanting."
 
Barry Morrison (Motherwell)

"Barry is a former British champion that has been in some real wars but knows what he has to do to win Prizefighter.
 
"He has the power to win this but again he can be hit too easily sometimes if his mind is not on the job."
 
Young Mutley (West Bromwich, West Midlands)

"He is a devastating puncher who can also be hit but one thing about Young Mutley is he's never in a boring fight.
 
"He gives 100 per cent every second of every round but can walk on to shots, which can be his undoing.
 
"He's probably the most exciting fighter in Prizefighter and one way or the other Young Mutley fight's do not go the distance."
 
Gavin Rees (Newbridge, Wales)

"He is a former WBA champion so that says it all. With his pedigree he should be the favourite to win Prizefighter but we all know what has happened to previous favourites in Prizefighter before.
 
"For Gavin this is a chance to bounce right back to the big-time and is probably my favourite to win as well."
 
"With the Scottish fraternity he's the favourite to win and they've been good judges in the past."
