Comments Thread For: World Boxing Super Series Reveals Tournament Seeding

[jackblack008]

SMW. I don't see anyone beating Chris Eubank Junior. George groves is nursing broken jaw

[hrt3333]

Dont like this tourney they're no known boxers

I didn't see Andre Ward fight much before the Super Six.

These guys are here to become known, give it a chance.

Callum smith ranked #2 wtf??

I was thinking the same thing, both Eubank Jr and Abraham deserve to be higher than him

I watch plenty thanks but you honestly tell me you seen all of these fighters fight before

Yes, I have seen every single one of these fighters before. The 168 lb tourney is good and at the high level of what I was expecting when this enedeavor was announced. The 200 lb bracket is bat**** insane with the amount of top guys and exciting fighters participating. I'm already salivating over a potential Dorticos/Kudryashov 1st rd matchup

[Scipio2009]

Doesn't matter who wins next week. Eubank Sr is making the pick tomorrow for whoever wins next week.

Why do you think Skoglund gets picked before Cox? Cox tougher then I think?



I'll be super surprised if Usyk picks Kudryashov. I'm looking forward to seeing Kudryashov vs whoever he fights in the first round doe so I don't really care who he fights. I just feel like he's the guy you least wanna fight among the choices. Then again Usyk is the clear number 1 guy in the division so if anyone is gonna give no f#cks about who's the best or worst guy to fight early in this tournament it'll be him.

Basically, i picked the matchups based on how the TV will end up shaking out (Cox and Smith are both under Matchroom; doubt that Eddie would look to put them against each other first with the chance that you can put the two in separate fights, they could both win their fights, and you face them off each in an even bigger fight (almost regardless of who wins, James Degale is likely the next fight that gets pushed).

Did something similar for the cruiserweights, in that I tried to set the first round matchups that would be the biggest events for whatever place that hosts.

Tough fight or not, Usyk vs Kudryashov in Ukraine seems like a big fight (whether big enough to try and run a stadium is beyond me). Murat Gassiev is likely to fight in the US (NYC or SoCal), and Mike Perez has the highest US profile of the options available. No idea if Breidis can sell a ticket for a fight, but Huck's name still has value in Germany, the first fight was a competitive one, and the rematch should be a bigger fight.

Never seen Dorticos fight, and have no idea how good a draw he is, but it's my assumption that Wlod still had money put behind him.

The smw section looks ok BUT the cw is live! That's what I want to watch. we will get an almost undisputed champ and in reality, decide the top dog out there.

[ShoulderRoll]

Yunier Dorticos is my dark horse to win it. Cuban school product who hits hard as hell.

Not sure about the super middleweights. If Eubank Jr can come through it all he would become the star he already thinks he is.

[Clegg]

I think either Groves or Smith will pick Cox for an easy UK fight, the other will have Brant for the sake of getting a bit more US interest, Eubank goes with Skoglund and Braehmar has an appointment with The Dentist.

Harder to predict the CWs. I remember Hearn worked with Breidis at one point, maybe he can put him vs Perez on a card with something like Crolla-Burns. Doesn't really matter how the draw works out, pretty much any combination is good.

If it happens would Dorticos-Perez be the biggest all-Cuban pro fight of all time?

Starts at 5:42:50

Yes. I haven't seen a lot of their fights but I have seen them fight. Some more than others but I have seen them fight. I have also read alot about their fights. The cruiseweight division is a good division for exciting under the radar kind of fights since most casual fans don't even know there is a division between light heavyweight and heavyweight.
