    I agree Smith and Direll makes most sense especially to get somebody from the North American market to help give the tournament more credibility as the cruiser tourney doesn't seem to have anybody from there either

    Jamie Cox might have one of those most rabid and delusional twitter fanbases

    FFS If I got 1st choice 110% would pick him, I don't care who else enters

    How did this clown manage to get a $1million buck pay day?

    Disgusting really

    Obodai Sai Jr getting paper how embarrasing for WBSS, do they realize how much of a bum he is?

    No!!! Jamie Cox isn't even fringe world class. Rocky Fielding who he was scheduled to fight would've been more acceptable.

    You had to expect Skoglund would get in, but if the elite of the division were involved he wouldn't be.

    Rumour Mill: Eddie Hearn has pictures of Kell Brook blowing Kalle Sauerland, threatened to out them unless Cox was given wildcard

    I told you he would be in ....

    I completely agree of course, he doesn't deserve a spot. At least he'll go out first round, he isn't much good.

    Seems like both tournaments are basically glorified European championship. Will be watching both but am more excited for the cruiserweight version

    5 more fighters to improve the tournament hopefully, I don't know much about Skoglund but he must be better than Obodai Sai Jr

    That's not fair at all to the cruisers. The best of the division are in, they just happen to be Russian or European. Dorticos is Cuban, and may be the darkhouse of the tourney.

    Super middleweight to be world class needs North American fighters though, like Benevidez, Dirrell, Ramirez, maybe Jacobs, Quillin, or Bute. If they don't get a single North American yes we can call it a b-level Euro tournament.

    Jamie Cox seems like a wasted spot, a little bit disappointing when you compare it to the cruisers.

    Yeah I agree probably unfair to bring cruiserweight version into when the best are basically from Europe. I am actually really looking forward to it and agree Dorticus has a shot.

    Well, both of those divisions have always had a lot of Europeans at the top.
    Just go take a look at Ring Magazines ratings CW. A few Russians and Makabu from Congo, rest are all from Europe.
    SMW is more lively.

    Guys like Skoglund and Cox are basically robbing the bank here.
