(winners face off in semi finals) Grigory Drozd v Victor Ramirez Denis Lebedev v Iilunga Makubu (winners face off in semi finals) Yoan Pablo Hernandez v Oleksandr Usyk Marco Huck v Dmitry Kudryashov Who emerges victorious? :bbb:bbb
Drozd UD Ramirez Lebedev TKO Makubu Usyk KO Hernandez Kudryashov MD Huck Lebedev MD Drozd Usyk TKO Kudryashov Usyk UD Lebedev
I quite agree with you.Usyk would probably win this kind of tournament. Drozd UD over Ramirez Lebedev ko or tko over the congolese banger Makabu Usyk ko or wide point decision over Hernandez Kudryashov ko over Huck but sure bet and could go the other way quite easily as well Lebedev ko over Drozd Usyk wide point decision over Kudryashov or wide point decision over Huck Usyk -tournament victor by point decision over Lebedev
Frankly I just cant see Usyk taking this if it happened right now. No doubt he is a future star but he still needs a few more fights against progressively better opponents to adjust to professional boxing. Even Venter gave him a few problems when they fought last year. Would be a great tournament though. you could make an argument for any one of those guys taking it. Cruiserweight has not looked this intriguing in quite some time.
Usyk is too green to beat Lebedev, and that's the only man id give a chance too. Kudrayshov may have that punchers chance, but I think lebedev will box him a nice UD. And then no one else I give a chance really. Lebedev is terribly underated for that division.
