The SMW Tourney is CRAP...

Where the hell is Lucian Bute and Librado Andrade???

Why the hell are the Andre's in this thing??? They ain't done **** to deserve title shots.

And that midget Arthur Abraham is just moving up from 160. I'd rather see Roy Jones or Jeff Lazy in there instead of AA.

busy re-matching each other?

While I agree Bute and Andrade and even Bika should have been in there and it should have been a elimination not round robin it's still GREAT.

He seems to be comfy at 175 (fighting the aforesaid Lacy), which is a shame. I'd really hoped that he would've taken an interest in coming down to 168 and fighting some of these guys.

1) Elimination likely makes it all unmakable. The only two of those which worked in recent memory were almost entirely King controlled.

2) This is better anyways. Round robin allows us to see more fighters against more styles to get an idea of who really is the best. Also, we get to see five more fights than an eight man tourney would make.

As to Bute and Andrade...yes on the first, not so much a loss on the second but Bute is a great position. he's got plenty of guys to fight and if he stays with an "0" it's a MEGAfight with the tourney winner in 11 (like Spinks was for Tyson but not AS big.)
