My expectation. 140 pounds Prograis vs Martin in the US Taylor vs Flanagan in the UK Relikh vs Troyanovsky in Russia Baranchyk vs Yigit in the US 118 pounds Burnett vs Donaire in the UK Inoue vs Payano in the US Tete vs Aloyan in Russia Rodriguez vs Moloney in Australia What are y'all's expectations for who fights who?
Thanks! Assuming it's #1 vs #3 and #2 vs #4 in the semis again, we have: Bantam: #1 Prograis vs #3 Relikh vs Troyanovxky #4 Baranchyk vs Yigit #2 Taylor vs So the only question is whether Prograis prefers to fight Flanagan or Martin next. LWW: #1 Burnett vs #3 Tete vs #4 Rodrigruez vs Moloney #2 Inoue vs My (wild) guess is: #1 Burnett vs Donaire #3 Tete vs Aloyan #4 Rodrigruez vs Moloney #2 Inoue vs Payano
Prograis vs Martin in the US/Prograis KO Taylor vs Flanagan in the UK/Taylor KO Relikh vs Troyanovsky in Russia/Troyanovsky KO Baranchyk vs Yigit in the US/Baranchyk KO The finals will be Taylor vs. Baranchyk/Prograis
Burnett vs Donaire/Donaire KO Tete vs Aloyan/Tete KO Rodrigruez vs Moloney/Rodriguez KO Inoue vs Payano/Inoue KO Te final will be Inoue vs. Rodriguez.
I personally doubt man, Donaire struggles when guys feint and fight from the distance like in the Frampton and Magdaleno bouts.
Burnett is far too willing to mix it up and fight in close, just look at his match against Zhanat. Donaire has more than a decent chance at pulling the upset, Burnett is good, but come on, he beat Zhakiyanov and Haskins, so what.
