They had tournaments with semi-prospects and promising club fighters in several weight classes. The winner of the tourney was promised a 'shot' at a contender.
Roger Stafford won welterweight and upset Pipino Cuevas.
Luke Capuano, if I recall correctly, won light heavy and lost a close decision to Mike Rossman (and lost by a wider margin in a rematch).
I think Frank "The Animal" Fletcher got his first recognition in this tourney, too, if I'm not mistaken.
Does anyone have all the tournament fight results, what weight classes they ended up completing tournaments in, who the winners were, what contenders they faced, etc.? I seem to think for some reason that the tourney idea plug was pulled before they finished playnig out the concept.
Any info would be appreciated.
