    Usyk beats everyone.
    Gassiev beats Dorticos, Perez, Huck, Wlodarczyk and Kudryashov. Loses to Briedis and Usyk.
    Briedis beats all except Usyk.
    Dorticos beats Perez, Wlodarczyk, and Kudryashov (maybe), loses to Usyk, Briedis, Gassiev and Huck.
    Perez loses to all except Wlodarczyk.
    Huck beats Wlodarczyk, Kudryashov, Perez and Dorticos, loses to the rest.
    Wlodarczyk sadly loses to all at this point.
    Kudryashov beats Perez, Wlodarczyk and maybe Dorticos, loses to the rest.

    Dream draw for Gassiev, he gets to watch Usyk vs Briedis and fights the winner. I also consider that a very dangerous match for Usyk as Briedis has the power and speed to get to him and KO him. If Briedis upsets Usyk, Gassiev has a very good chance.

    Furthermore, if Gassiev gets Wlod in the QFs as seems likely, he gets the easiest QF opponent and probably takes less damage.

    QF draw prediction (most likely):

    Usyk vs Huck
    Gassiev vs Wlod
    Briedis vs Kudryashov
    Dorticos vs Perez

    (less likely)

    Usyk vs Perez
    Gassiev vs Wlod
    Briedis vs Kudryashov
    Dorticos vs Huck

    I'll bump this when I'm right tomorrow.

    Dorticos will give gassiev a real hard fight I could see dorticos usyk final happening, it's so exciting this tournament no easy fights and at the end we will have an undisputed champion. Unlike the supermiddle weight tournament as well it won't be a case of oh well this guy won but to be the best he still has to beat so and so.

    Good point that Gassiev would additionally be freshest in the final. I could see him knocking out Wlod and Kudryashov on the way to the final. This makes an outright bet on Gassiev look interesting, despite that I strongly like Usyk and Briedis over him.

    Agree that Dorticos will be tough, but still, Gassiev will prefer him to Usyk or Briedis.

    Yeah definitely he's got the better route to the final, I would still lean towards gassiev beating Dorticos but I can envision a situation where gassiev is down on the cards before stopping him.

    They do have to fight the fights, smartypants.

    Perez I think is the one unpredictable guy. I actually favour him over Dorticos and Kudryashov. I like Perez's chances against Dorticos because he can tidily, smartly jab and box but with front foot pressure. We saw Kalenga give Dorticos some rough moments, and Kalenga was sloppier than Perez. And Kudryashov, I know easy to say, but avoid his power and he's easy to outbox.

    I like gassiev his power is crazy but he doesn't utalise the jab enough and he is a pretty easy target to hit.

    The WBSS is using a picture of fat-ass heavyweight Mike Perez, rather than ripped cruiserweight Mike Perez. That's not very nice.
