I am really, really out of the loop on these proceedings, IB.

The line up for this is actually pretty good.

75 on Lawton as the odds are good and I've wasted most of my vCash on Martinez/Williams.

Choi: An adoptive favorite of the UK, the extremely popular Mongolian-born domestic legend is getting up there in age. He's had a weird sort of off-and-on pro career, with a couple of really good wins but never stringing together enough momentum to get past the European level. He already holds a knockout win over one Prizefighter contestant. Many consider him a rightful heavy favorite to win this thing.

Lawton: A pre-Roach/pre-Prescott Khan victim. He's probably faced the best class out of anyone else, but has been stopped enough times that you have to question his chances in a knockout elimination tournament. He drew Gary Sykes, who is probably a big h2h favorite in that individual match-up.

Sykes: Young, undefeated, gutsy, busy (in a steady, one-gear kind of way) and awkward - those are the pros...plus, he recently passed the test in a big step up in class (passed, didn't ace). The cons are that he's pretty sloppy, couldn't crack an egg, and is a bit of a Rocky Juarez when it comes to intensity amplification...and he's had to boil off some blubber to make weight in the eleventh hour at least once.

Buckland: My boy. He put up one of the ballsiest losing performances of the year against John Murray back in May. This was up there with Darchinyan-Guerrero, Kessler-Andrade, that sort of thing. Just epic heart and sticktoitiveness despite being absolutely bombarded by a higher class of boxer. A small token wager on him is pretty much a moral imperative (unless you're a British poster and already feel it's a moral imperative to bet on Choi).

I honestly don't know much about the rest, other than having heard a couple of the names bounced around by British posters.

Buckland!
