Sky Bet's Scott Springgay talks us through the latest Prizefighter odds
The latest instalment of Prizefighter sees a new 'fab four' quartet playing to a packed house in Liverpool this Wednesday night.
Four local lads Carl Dilks, Robin Reid, Rocky Fielding and Joe Ainscough will be looking to make a name for themselves in what could be one of the most wide open Prizefighter events yet.
Carl Dilks is the 5/2 favourite to win the event but is coming off a disastrous round 1 loss against James DeGale and it will be interesting to see how he has been affected by that defeat.
In the first fight, He faces Jahmaine Smyle (9/1), who has only had four professional fights and has suffered one loss against Wayne Reed, who also competes in this event.
Robin Reid (7/2) is the biggest name in the competition but hasn't had a truly competitive fight since being defeated by Carl Froch back in 2000.
However, he still looks to be in great shape. His first fight is against Tobias Webb (7/1), who is the nephew of Enzo Calzaghe and undefeated in four professional fights.
Joe Ainscough (20/1) makes an amazing return to the ring after an horrific stabbing which left him out of the sport for a couple of years having being told that he would never fight again.
He takes on Wayne Reed (7/2), who has already beaten fellow Prizefighter Jahmaine Smyle and they could meet in the semi-finals.
Rocky Fielding (7/1), a local hope with only three professional fights, will have a lot of support against Patrick J Maxwell (14/1) but will have to be on his guard as Maxwell has stopped 11 of his 16 opponents within the distance.
My Pick: Wayne Reed to win (7/2), on paper he has an easier draw than most and a good chance of making the final against one of the local favourites in Carl Dilks or Robin Reid but in Prizefighter anything can happen!
