WBSS super-middleweight competition update - Groves vs Eubank Jr set

That looks very likely. With Zeuge, Korobov, and Yildirim more deserving than Skoglund and Cox I get the feeling top guys like Ramirez, Benevidez, and Anthony Dirrell have declined or not shown interest.

 

Hopefully Paul Smith gets a space

 

does this mean Smith v Dirrel is off?

This is starting to look like a good lineup especially if Eubank Jr joins. Some good boxers intermixed with a few wildcards.

 

Meh, the names in this tournament sucks so bad because the division is the worst currently. I'm excited for Cruiser though.

 

Your sarcasm metre is off today buddy

Would personally love to see Korobov get amongst it, such a wasted AM talent. Yildrim is already in isn't he? Wouldn't be against Zeuge either but the one for me would be Benavidez

 

Groves
Cox
Skoglund
Braemer
Smith

3 spots left. If one of those is CEJ then this tourney crowns the number 1 SMW in the world for me. How awesome if the last 3 spots were CEJ, DeGale and Ramirez.

 

was beginning to lose hope for the SMW series, but i think they're really gonna come through in the last few to be announced

 

If the line up is,
Groves
Smith
Brahmer
Skoglund
Cox
Eubank Jr/Aurthur Abraham winner
Ramirez
Brant

It would be a great comp with WBC, WBO, WBA, IBO all up for grabs. Winner would probs fight James degale and there would be 1 champ (probs not for long until a governing body order a mand and they get stripped)

 

So are the WBC giving the title to Dirrell or to Smith, what's going on?

Surely Smith wouldn't give up his shot at the title just like that considering he turned down big money to fight DeGale this summer so he could get the WBC belt first.
