WB Super Series super-midleweight tournament prediction poll.

I'm going with smith, I think his style trumps most in tournament.

 

Went with Smith but wouldn't be surprised if Groves or even Eubank came out on top.

 

They're not easy to predict these things cos of unforseen circumstances. Injuries etc lot of near unknowns entering it too..

Smith is who I'll go for.

 

There s a downside to this "tournament" format. These things get beset by delays of all kinds....and other contenders get frozen out, inactive etc...

 

Voted Eubank but there is no way on earth he carries through with this tournament

 

Don't mind who wins, I think there will be a few surprises as there was in the Super 6.

I'm picking Eubank to be exposed though, wouldn't be surprised if it's the first round. In fact he probably drops out due to his "dressing room not big enough" or some other excuse.

 

I like Groves very strongly. He's a half class above everyone else. My bookie better have outright bets available. Eubank will have the chance to answer the questions we have about him, I think he doesn't have the weapons and strengths Groves does and fails. I'll be rooting for a Brant or Yidirim to upset him in the first round too Smith is on the other half of the draw and should have an easy road.

 

It's single elimination and only up to three fights over nine months. There's very little chance of an injury or pullout. Boxers get injured much less than every three fights.

 

When was the last time Eubank ever laid someone out on the floor?

He couldn't KO O'Sullivan, Quinlan or Blackwell despite landing a combined 3million clean punches on them. He is going to be even more featherfisted at 168 than he was at 160.

 

Groves or Smith to win.

Yildrim and Brant are the dark horses, both underated.

Eubank to be exposed.
