    the cello renda fight was a bit of a crakker.

    looked very good, although that doesn't necessarily win the tournament.

    the guy who won the first fight won't win anyway. he's probably already gassed himself out.

    renda won by tko. he kd'd his opponent with a body shot in the 1st and then the ref stepped in to stop the fight in the 2nd.

    the maxwell fight went three rounds and although he won it was a bit scrappy and he had to expend a lot of energy

    This gimmick is getting old quick.

    Samuels looking a bit old and not sharp.

    third fight pretty poor again.

    did the winner say "i treated this like the final because i knew i had to win to get through to the semi-final"

    :)

    sometimes they allow a pound unless the other fighters demand he takes it off no?

    The problem with this is the fighters aren't of a good quality. They are technically inept, so inevitably it turns into a headless brawl over 3 rounds. If somebody actually had the ability to pick his punches this would be a walkover.

    I think this novelty is wearing thin now, once a year.

    well the last quarter final is almost looking like a boxing match. murray is the best technically of the participants

    At last, some quality work. Great stuff from Murray, technical pressure.
