I think Buglioni will be in the LHW if he comes through his next fight. Yarde would never be in it, he has too many cans to smash instead.
He mentioned the possibility of a third division in the interview I saw with him yesterday, so the 3 division rumour is legitimate.
He mentioned it but in the end he spoke only about two weight classes, at least in the interview I saw.
Yeah that list looks superb. Some potentially great fights in amongst those. If Groves or Smith win their WBSS do you think there is a chance they would move up to fight in it? Groves is huge at the weight and has said he struggles to boil down and Smith is massive.
Only way to secure the best guys is more money. Only way to increase the money is to secure USA TV. Have USA TV been impressed?
That would be nice. It'd definitely be quite possible, although I wonder if Groves might not want to end his career getting sparked out cold again and Smith might want to unify 168 lb first. Assuming he succeeded he could always fight the winner of the LHW WBSS afterwards.
Great news, these tournaments have been exceptional. Almost perfect. This is the way to go... Boxing is thriving again.
Absolutely unbelievable. Super series is one of them things where I keep wishing for something and they keep giving it. Very rare in boxing Hope they get the American TV deal right .. too many big fights for them to mess that up
Stevenson won't be involved if they do indeed go ahead with a light heavy tournament. He will lose his WBC belt to Jack in May.
Hope Loma, Easter, Linares and Garcia enter at 135. Hope Inoue, Tete, Nery, and Rigondeaux get in at 118. Hope to see Kovalev, Beterbiev, Stevenson, Bivol/Barrera winner, Alvarez, Gvodzyk, and Browne at 175.
