    Indeed. Huge credit for all 4 young guns for putting it on the line. I hope the losers of the semifinal also have the shots with the eventual winner down the track.

    If I have a gun to my head I'd probably pick Usyk since I'm most confident he wins the next fight and makes the final.

    But I am really digging Dorticos and think he has a great shot.

    I chose Dorticos myself. I think he’s getting tremendously overlooked.

    Me too, glad to see there are some who like him. He's a very live dog here.

    Usyk vs Dorticos for the finals would be great haha.

    The way this Cruiserweight tournament is shaping up with these top draw fights with all the champions should hopefully be enough to ensure the World Boxing Series future

    I haven't been following this as close as I'd like to, mainly been catching highlights, but damn this is impressive. And more impressive still, is the fact that they actually want to fight each other. Boxing at its best.

    Although Usyk is a clear favourite in the fans eyes, everyone of these men believe they can go on and win this tournament and rightly so 4 excellent fighters in their own styles

    I've never been a fan of the cw division but this tournament has me excited. Usyk probably takes it but it's no guarantee.
