    I believe some of the original participants will eventually withdraw for some reason so there will be replacements. Just like in the Super Six. Makabu and Kalenga are at least exciting fighters (a KO/TKO is pretty much guaranteed if they fight), so I would welcome them. Unlike Perez who is boring as ****.

    That came out of nowhere, hasn't been much talk about Huck. Kudryashov and Glowacki according to reports are officially in. That makes seven. Obviously: we want Usyk! Forget about Makabu now.

    I'll have to revise my fantasy draw :) Huck has to rematch Breidis, and and all Russian war. Of course the seeds picking their first round opponents could make the matchups completely different.

    Usyk (1) vs Wlodarczyk (8)
    Dorticos (4) vs Glowacki (5)

    Gassiev (2) vs Kudryashov (7)
    Briedis (3) vs Huck (6)

    If Usyk doesn't join, it's going to be devastating. He must hurry before they give the last place to a Tony friggin Bellew victim.

    Plus size Dan said "it looks pretty good" that Usyk will join, although the deal is not yet finalized according to his source.

    Unlike the super 6 this will be single elimination, right? If indeed this is the case the number of replacements should be drastically reduced.

    As I understand it is a seeded elimination tournament. Top four seeds drawn against the bottom 4 in the quarter finals.

    Yes, however the seeds do get to pick their QF opponents from the unseeded entries. So #1 can choose #5,6,7,or 8

    Does he actually choose a named opponent or will it be lottery style draw with numbered lots?

    TBH I think it could be a lottery style draw, the articles I have read assumed choosing the opponent meant they got to actually hand pick their opponent, but it could actually mean they choose them through a lottery draw

    I can see Kudryashov knocking the last brain cells out of Huck before Huck KOs the gassed Russian out.
