    Damn! That's great great news!

    WAR WBSS!


    Edit: what's the deal there? Where's Inoue for the BW tourney?

    Not sure about Inoue, I thought he already agreed to be apart.

    So the winner of 140 WBSS will be the unified WBA, WBO, IBF, RING and Lineal champ. :chuck:

    Great, this improves the 140 field considerably. Taylor vs Prograis in the final if you ask me.

    Thinking about it we now have

    Taylor
    Prograis
    Hooker
    Martin

    Yigit vs Baranchyk
    Relikh vs Troyanovsky

    So only two seeds get to pick. Will Hooker be seeded ahead of Taylor/Prograis? If so, he'll doubtless pick Martin and leave Taylor and Prograis to fight each other in the first round. I guess (and hope) the WBSS will make sure this doesn't happen.

    Are those 2 matches already made? I thought or assumed they would hold another draft gala with the 4 top seeds able to pick their preferred opponents.

    This is awesome!

    I'd quite like to see ohara davies get in the mix, hell it would even be a good move for postal to get back in the mix.

    With Taylor's entry I think the field is set now, I could see Postol and Davies as alternates.

    It's good for the tournament. The usual championship belts might become a thing of the past if the WBSS grows and becomes more and more successful.
