    Hard one... I'd say Vlasov.
    Basically any of these guys could come out the winner.

    Thing I do know for sure is that Warren won't be pleased with this.

    I'm rooting for Smith, but I think Alverez takes this. Although I'm not overly in the loop about Vlasov or Salamov.

    Callum Johnson beats them all tho. :deal:

    I like these four-fighter tournaments.

    Some very good competitive match-ups with those four boxers.

    Been mentioned for a while. The reason Yarde wasn’t in it was because they only allow fighters coming off a win apparently. So that’s why he had the tune up in Spain. Apparently if someone pulls out Yarde is in

    Good way to decide a vacant title, as long as it doesn't end up like the mess of a tournament the WBA put on in the HW division a few years back to decide the regular champion which still hasn't been sorted haha.

    Yarde is actually ranked above Alvarez by the WBO :lol:

    Alvarez has wins over

    Kovalev
    Pascal
    Bute
    Chilemba
    Prieto
    Miranda
    Seales

    And a whole bunch of D and E level guys who are still a level above almost everyone Yarde has fought sans Kovalev

    And Alvarez has that points loss to Kovalev

    vs

    Yarde who only really has the KO loss against Kovalev

    :lol: Anyone who's on the wrong end of a JTFO KO to a shot fighter should have their licence revoked.

    That fish eyed rat being frozen out is always a good thing.
