    Quarter finals:
    1. Juan Francisco Estrada vs. Kazuto Ioka
    2. Roman Gonzalez vs. Edgar Sosa
    3. Brian Viloria vs. Adrian Hernandez
    4. Moruti Mthalane vs. Akira Yaegashi

    Semi-FInals are winner of 1 vs winner of 2, and 3 vs 4?

    Who you got. :think

    I don't like your choices.

    Hernandez and Ioka haven't ventured up to 112 to any degree while even Roman Gonzalez has only taken a few cupcake fights there. Those three don't really belong.

    I think Roman/Sosa would be surprisingly close and Mthalane/Yaegashi is a great fight, tough to pick. As is the finals match up I came up with of Roman/Mthalane... I think Hernandez would get decisively beaten by all of these men, and I would have to pick against Ioka, whom I love, on the grounds of the weight and having not been proven there.

    For me:

    1. Estrada SD Ioka
    2. Gonzalez late TKO Sosa
    3. Viloria mid to late TKO Hernandez
    4. Mthalane MD Yaegashi

    Semi's:

    1. Gonzalez narrow UD Estrada
    2. Viloria late TKO Mthalane

    Final

    1. Gonzalez mid rounds KO Vilioria.

    I appreciate the feedback. The only fight I disagree on is I think the Hawaiian Punch beats Mthlane.

    Regarding the weights, I think it's less of an issue for the smaller guys. Lets face 1 chesseburger as a Strawweight and you'd be almost a Junior Bantamweight.

    I agree I think it would be pretty close but I think Roman's power stops Sosa late in an even fight up until that point.

    On an unrelated note though, the fact that Sosa has got a number of solid victories (Uicab, Solis, Segura) since losing to Wongjongkam shows how far Pongsaklek fell over night after that fight :-(

    Depressing ain't it.

    IMO this is the most stacked div next to 140. A lot of great potential fights
    if anyone was watching.

    Roman Gonzalez is clearly the best fighter of the eight, i would have him as the winner regardless of whom he faced out of that list.
