    Quarterfinals.

    Donovan Dennis vs Steve Vukosa

    Nice little test for Vukosa.Power against skill.He will win by knockout.

    Razvan Cojanu vs Ed Fountain

    Cojanu has bigger amateur boxing experience,but is less tested in the amateur ranks.Cojanu by MD.

    Andrey Fedosov vs Nat Heaven

    This is the biggest mismatch in quarterfinal.Fedosov by fast knockout.

    Mario Heredia vs Lenroy Thomas

    Heredia by knockout.


    Prediction for final.

    I think this tournament is for Fedosov to win.I think he will meet Vukosa in final.And will win this.Vukosa is pretty good so far,but untested,with only ten fights.

    Afterwards.

    Top ten ranking for winner in WBO and WBA rankings.

    Fixtures.

    Semifinals on 14th April and the finals on 22th May.

    Voting.

    Type other answer freely,if you have another winner in mind.

    I'd favor Dennis in bracket 1 but cojanu may prove too big. We'll see.
    Bracket 2 heredia may be the dark horse.

    He has been down multiple times,but less than Kownacki.

    Fedosov is clearly the most talented fighter in the tourney, but I believe that Cojanu's size and skill set will see him through.

    A thing which prevent to vote for him is his chin,he was getting dropped by lesser opponents,long before this competition.

    Look at Donovan Dennis.Part 1.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZB_VoAZ-vw.

    In this fight,he clearly is outboxing Heredia,and is landing at will,but loses due to bad stamina.Donovan Dennis “Training camp is good. I had great sparring and am in good shape. I am ready and have been anxious for the last couple weeks. I am ready for whatever I have to do to win the fight.”

    Fedosov, in spite of his unlucky encounter with Jennings, and his tough loss to an aging but still viable contender, Whitaker, is the only proven contender in the tournament.

    He's got an iron chin, a merciless body attack, and lacks only interior defense which Conjanu will not be able to take advantage of due to his inability to fight inside.

    Fedosov is however coming off a broken leg injury, so it might be tough for him to work this tournament style bracket. We'll see how he looks vs Heaven since his way to win is to get inside and bang up and down.:think

    Yes Dennis has obvious skill. Perhaps the most talented in this tournament but also has question marks on his chin and stamina that were ironically raised by 2 fighters from the other bracket (heredia and Nat heaven).
    Ed fountain is a local fighter in my area. Funny thing is I've never seen him fight. So Im rooting for my local Midwest fighters Dennis and fountain.

    I hope Nat Heaven takes Fedosov's head off. Fedosov is soft.

    Look at Steve Vukosa.Part1.There is no video for this boxer.His fight with Estrada was close.He has won Golden Gloves titles and Police Athletic League titles.Has trained with Roach.He now trains with his coach Jimmy Farrell,he was his trainer in amateur days.Steve Vukosa–“Training is going great. I have been getting extra work shoveling all the snow here in Massachusetts.I haven’t really checked much on Donovan Dennis.I am excited to get in the ring and I am excited for this opportunity.”

    Would be a great story if Vukosa won, I'll be rooting for him! But Fedosov will probably take it.
