IBF Heavyweight Tournament

Boytsov would knock them all out, but the IBF tournament is a sick joke! Adamek knocked Banks out.

 

I like Chambers but i certainly would not be too happy watching Klitschko - Chambers 2.

Sucks Boytsov declined

 

It is always good when top fighters fight each other. So I like and support the idea. Yes, we can argue about the selected fighters but I guess those are the ones who agreed upon the terms. Sooner or later Boytsov should test himself. Universum led Dimitrenko very slowly. In the end of the day it did not help him.

 

Under the present circumstances I'm hoping for a Dimitrenko vs Mormeck final, not that I'm a fan of either but I can't stand the thought of a Chambers rematch against Wladimir, and Banks is a Klitschko sparring partner who got bogus decisions against Rossitto and Gavern ffs.

 

Boytsov declined, Mormeck declined... WTF is going on? They don't want 25% of purse bid as Wlads mandatory? thats around 2.5 M$

 

atsch

 

Mormeck declined too? Bring on Arreola or even Rossy then, just get it started!

And why wasn't Adamek asked to participate?

 

Winner of previus IBF tournament was supposed to take over 3M$ in 2008(25% of 12m$ purse bid), and arond 2.1M$ in 2010. Povetkin declined both opportunities.

 

I was under the impression that Adamek was supposed to fight his Vinny Nobody and then Vitali early next year. But I have no idea what the hell is going on with these guys. This is the strangest HW division I've ever lived through.

 

That wasn't a doubtful patsch. That was a "Sonofamotherless *****, these heavies are unbe****inglievable" patsch.

 

Adamek needn't it. he can get a title shot if he only calls Klit out today, tomorrow or other day

 

Agreed, he just doesn't need it, he has already big name and his part would more 25% anyway without mandatory status.

 

Interesting idea. Pretty good match-ups too. Banks vrs. Dimitrenko is mildly intriguing.

The thing that confuses me though is why Dimitrenko or Mormeck would enter an IBF tourney if Wlad just offered them a chance to fight. I guess as the mandatory it's possible to demand a multi-million dollar payday.

The other thing that's unclear is why Banks and Chambers would go for Wlad's IBF strap...aren't they Steward/K2 fighters?

I'm not overly surprised Mormeck declined (if this is accurate). Why take the dangerous fight with Chambers when there's talk of a fight with Wlad anyway in the Spring?

 

Banks is, Chambers is with Goossen Tutor.
