new lineage is going to be established at the end of this and the ring belt should be awarded. I do not see how anyone can not be excited at this. this is the start of a new era where the alphabet belts are going to become worthless
Can't have it looking like a hate crime's going down by having either the black or white guy be outnumbered in the picture. Seriously though, it's probably a region thing where race is a coincidence. The 3 Euro fighters, and then the 3 US ones.
I suppose...although Europe isn't a country. :think If it were a continental thing, that'd make sense. Yet another reason it's too bad Bute's not involved. If he were to take his picture with the American boys, we'd know it wasn't a race thing. Then again, he could technically be in the Euro photo op. :!: My brain hurts.
Hey Kess did you here randers is picking up this guy from Real Salt Lake called Yura movsisyan, he is armenian, decent speed and attacking skills, he is a striker, what do yu think?
Im buzzin! team euro vs team usa looks likely. Kess has gota be the favourite and even though Abraham looks small he is in with a good chance, im pickin him to stop JT.
God damn, does this mean we've got a year of U-S-A chanting to look forward to? That sure got old fast on the UFC9 competition. Still, this is the sort of thing you dream about as a fan of the SMW division. Kessler will be really hungry after a year or so in the wilderness. I'd expect him to look to make a big statement and he's an obvious favourite.
:scaredas::-blood Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! October the 10th????????? Me and my family will be on holiday in Spain during that period of time.Cant believe it! At present I am Berlin based.Bloody easy to get hold of a ticket for AA vs Taylor for me! Damn! Soy un mala pata! Mala suerte!:fire
Anyone could win this tournament. I can easily see Jermain get a good win over AA and from there on gain the confidence that boosts him to a level where he defeats the rest.. I can also easily see Abraham get 6 points from the first rounds and then revenge his points loss with a KO win in the final. I can also.... Kessler, Froch etc.. Right now Direll and Ward are the two least experienced ones. Personally I think Direll is an incredibly exciting fighter and that he can go all the way. Ward is one of the best American prospects for years, but I wonder if starting out with Kessler is a bit too much too soon. Kessler in 2011 would be better for Ward I think... on the other hand - there really is no easy option here... It is just foot to the metal in every fight. Every single fight in this tournament would be a super fight under normal circumstances - and here we get them all lined up. Really incredible! Just take the fight fight - Arthur Abraham vs Jermain Taylor!!! A super fight at MW and now at SMW... and we will really see it happen!! Sweet.... sweet...
