Agreed. Shame we wont get another title in the tourney though

So Groves VS Smith in finals?? Not bad, winner can fight DeGale in wembley for the WBA (Super), IBF, WBC (Diamond), Ring, and Lineal titles, maybe after that the winner can fight Eubank Jr

I knew Dirrell would screw this fight up.

But will still retain his mandatory status.

Guy is a joker, Smith would be more than he could handle and he knew it.

Good choice by Mundo - OK it's a long shot but the winner of this tourney will gain more prestige (and probably money) than fighting ten Dirrells - and Callum might well have ended up fighting 10 Dirrells if he'd have had to face Tony in Michigan.

We saw from the S6 that even the losing competitors gained so long as they put up a decent fight... the only bad result for Mundo would be being put out in the first round, but even then he remains mando AFAIK.

And who knows? Maybe this will be enough to lure Dirrell into the tourney.

He ducked Dirrell for the super 8. smart move for many reasons or at least two.
