    I remember when he fought Sosnowski a long time ago. I wasn't impressed by him. Medicore at best

    I'm going for him too now.I don't think even Cora can beat him altough he would be the runner up.

    Probably. I remember quite a few people picking him when the lineup was first announced. It would be a nice coup for him if he can - he has almost no profile in the US otherwise.

    Troys biggest problem has always been inactivity. Hes very talented, but he has never been 100 % focused on boxing. His clothing line and acting (he had a small role in Cinderella Man) are important to him as well. He has also had trouble getting fights. Hopefully now, with this opportunity, he will dedicate himself fully to boxing. He's 33, so its either now or never. From what I understand his one loss was a robbery.

    I used to think he might be a little small for cruiserweight, but so far he seems to have pretty good power at the weight. He would definitely be better suited to the old cruiserweight limit, but I think he'll win the show anyway. I think he'll beat Hino in the final.

    maybe. I havent seen much of a lot of these guys, so its hard to say. Cora definitely has a pretty good shot though.
