The WBSS super middle tournament lacks professionalism

They should just cancel the Smith fight altogether and put Eubank-Groves II for the Trophey.

 

totally agree. How does this Dutch bloke suddenly get a shot at the final ? If Smith has an injury during the fight then suddenly he's in the final from absolutely nowhere ?

It's gone from a decent tournament to a bit of a joke. Hopefully it will work out and we will see Smith v Groves.

But agree the last few days has been what you'd expect from a tournament managed by someone on the bolivian marching powder. oh wait ....

 

HEEERRREEE'S KALLE!

I want Holzken with his slick haircut to win the whole tournament.

 

whatever he's on I want some of that.

 

You are nuts. their build up documentary videos, are second to none.. makes HBO/SHOWTIME pre-fight videos look like childs play... the light show is amazing around the ring, no cheap budweiser advertisements or other sponsors on the canvas.. Not to mention the epic 3 of their last fights - Usyk/Briedis, Gassiev/Dorticos, Eubank/Groves have been extremely entertaining, and epic... Come on man.

Only issues I have with them is the ring announcer David Diamante, and also think that having the final in Jeddah Saudi Arabia is an absolutely HORRIBLE HORRIBLE IDEA. But I won't get into that, since I was banned for saying something bad about it last time...

 

It did become at least a little more professional and classy after Groves got rid of that idiot Eubank Jr.

 

And another cool thing about this years Super Series is no fighter has multiple fights lined up in their backyard like Ward did. I thought that was pretty cool and fair!

 

The 168 pound tournament also lacks A level talent. Froch's son George Groves, is probably going to win it.

 

So, does last Saturday's result therefore mean that Eubank Jr is now Froch's grandson?

 

Eubank is trash. Not at all. Groves at least looked like he belonged in the ring with Froch. Eubank looked like a straight up bum.

 

The only thing they could have done differently is to give the shot to one of the guys who lost in the first round of the tourney. Nothing else to do that won't hold up everything for X amount of months (I don't know what the timetable for the injury is). I do think they should have brought in a first round loser, maybe they tried and no bites. Also, remember the Super Six when Taylor bailed and Allan Green stepped in to face Ward in the second round. Then Kessler bailed thing and Glen Johnson stepped in for the third round. Pretty great alternates, those.

 

I thought they actually had alternates.
Didn't they have the Gorilla Ryder vs Nielsen (KO5) fight for that exact reason?

But maybe the very short notice was a problem.
