WBSS super-middleweight competition update - Groves vs Eubank Jr set

There's no way Eubank will join this tournament, he's happy to continue fighting the Quinlan's of this world in leisure centres for peanuts.

 

If Smith is in then Dirrell will be as they are trying to put their fight in Sept into this tournament. Would love to see Eubank in this but don't think he would accept in a million years.

Really hoping for Ramirez and Benavidez, fingers crossed.

 

Arthur Abraham is a bum and Jamie Cox is the next Ali is that what you really want to say????

 

I would pick Eubank to beat Cox, I'm also picking him to beat Abraham.

Just given Eubank's track record of pulling out of agreements, pricing himself out and general being difficult to negotiate with tells me that he is very unlikely to join this tournament even though I want him to test himself there.

I want to see Eubank vs either DeGale or Groves soon, and it just doesn't look like it will happen.

 

I'm am getting sick of talking this bloke up

Sign up or I am signing off the bandwagon, enough is enough

Jamie Cox needs to be taught a lesson in boxing

I seriously dislike the Jamie Cox bandwagoners tbh, the worst fans of all times
Should see them on twitter

 

I can't argue with that I suppose

 

Here's my prediction now

1st 4 are in
Groves
Skoglund
Cox
Braehmer

Korobov= Has applied and is 10x better than Cox, if he doesn't get in something is wrong
Yildirim= I believe the sources and this guy looks like a tough match up
Eubank Jr=Calling out Groves when he's in the tournament is poor form if he doesn't sign up at least, if he does its a boss move and I'm sick of Jr moaning about not getting fights, man up and sign up.
Quillin= Is fighting at 168 next, has considered joining the tournament, WBSS needs some american talent, Quillin is a solid fighter, I'd prefer a few others but can't complain with Quillin tbh.

 

I favor Jeff Horn to win it all. Hope he can make 168 doe

 

This is really low calibre. Poor. Degale, Smith, Ramirez????? Disappointed.

 

Eubank added: “If I am not getting the superfights in England I will have to travel.

Question about HAYMON fighters and WBSS?
Why are they not interested in this tournament?

Jacobs - a 168er at this point, in best shape/prime of his career, can win it then challenge GGG for rematch at 168
Quillin - where the heck is he? Perfect chance to re-start career
Jermall Charlo - was huge at 154, will be huge at 160 and perfect size for 168, he should enter after beating Heiland
J'Leon Love? LOL

 

A tournament with such poor roster, Jacobs would be a very live dog. But I think he'll wait around to see if he can get a crack at the GGG/Canelo winner.
