    Wow, good stuff. I'm a bit disspointed that Bute, Andrade, Bika, Balzsay, Inkin, and Gree aren't in it as well, but this tourney should be fun though.

    Hell nah. Bute got a gift from the ref so he has to fight Andrade again and Ward is probably the most talented at 168 so you have t have him in there. The tourney is great how it is, were just lucky as boxing fans that this got done

    hbo should do something similar with the WW...although with the ego at WW, they will probably need atleast 100mil to pull it off.

    Yea I would have definitely liked to see Bute, Andrade and Green in there. But you can't have everything.

    And this is still a great thing.
