Comments Thread For: Yunier Dorticos Signs On For World Boxing Super Series

Idk whats going to happen with the 168 tournament, but this 200 bracket might be the most high level, competitive going in roster for a tournament ever if they get Usyk & Glow in with the rest of these guys.

I heard Tabiti might be one of the others in it, although with this current roster he might end up being a sub & it might be best off being a sub cuz this would be a giant jump up for him.

Usyk, glowacki, lebedev & another top contender should join. This would be the best tourney ever if all 4 champions competed because we would have a legit undisputed CW champion by May of 2018. I would suspect the winner moving up to heavyweight.

Mike perez and Kudryashov and id explode in my pants tbf

Lol. Kudryashov is another really good one that I'm hoping signs up. Still a lot of good realistic options with other guys like Mchunu, Vlasov, Kalenga, Makabu, Tabiti etc.

Imagine Ward joining it and winning. Damn winning 2 Tournaments with top fighters of the world. Damn Dream thing ?

This is exactly what I want to see. Does Ward even know this tourney exists tho?

Will WBSS be shown in the US? If so who will broadcast it?

Espinoza was at their initial presser so I think Showtime is the likely US broadcaster.

He got asked about it a couple days ago at the Broner vs Mikey presser iirc & he said he likes the concept & he likes the way it is looking thus far, but he isn't going to commit to it til who's all in is figured out.

Behind the scenes my assumption is Showtime gots a gentlemans agreements to have first refusal rights.

Is the Muhammad Ali trophy going to be the new alphabet belt?

We don't need any new trinkets to worship, but if they put on high level tournaments the winners of this tournament are either gonna be the defacto universally accepted champion or at worst get a higher profile Prizefighter tournament champion like bump as a notable fighter bigger names wanna fight & in this case likely the #1 guy or tip top guys wanting to fight them.

I remember after the Super 6 at SMW there were rumors the next Super 6 was gonna feature cruiserweights but it never came to fruition. I'm glad its finally going down and it seems to be top notch. Too bad Lebedev turned it down, but with Dorticos bringing the WBA regular belt it's a nice consolation prize. Gassiev should have Lebedev's belt anyway. It's a shame the WBA bent to boxing politics before that fight. If they hadn't, we'd only need Usyk to join for this tournament to produce an undisputed and lineal cruiserweight champ.

Might be the most underrated fighter in boxing currently! Has those Cuban Boxing Skills with Big Power! This Tournament is start to shape up!
