It's the perfect Division for "The Contender" Series, IMO...
There is a tonne of relatively unknown talent at 200lbs, you will undoubtedly see more KO's, and I like the fact that this season will be in Singapore and featuring International "Contenders"...
I believe this could be a phenomenal experience for many other talented guys like Troy Ross who are sitting on the brink of making a splash in the Pro Boxing rankings... and a huge chance for the likes of the already named prospects to get a shot at a payday in a division not really known to have super-sized purses... Personally, I can't wait to see who's going to officially be in this season's tournament...

I'm glad they are doing Cruiserweights because the 200 lbers will get some exposure..
You're right. Those guys are hungry and will fight hard. That division has more depth now than most people think.
Some of these fighters would make for a great show. Cruiserweight is definitely a division with a lot of potential and the purse of the winner would be a special payday for most of them. But still I cant really imagine guys like Aaron Williams, even if they have already lost, taking such a risk ...
Ill watch it anyway though, even if the line up will be a disappointment.
You left out who they were seguing from to say "others": Oneill Bell. This is an excellent, exciting list of fighters. I hope they don't scare each other off.
