Comments Thread For: WBC Welterweight Tournament - Eight Fighters Announced

[mapleleaf27]

Thanks.

I haven't heard anything about TV. I would hope & think they find a TV deal for this cuz they do got some sellable guys (Diaz, Solomon, Lawson, CVH) at the TV level. Someone should be interested although it could only be CBS Sports or something like that maybe, but TV is better than no TV.

i have seen some shows on Facebook, there is a page that broadcasts an event once or twice a month...Fightnite Live...would be perfect platform for this tourney.

Supposed to be ranked by fans & then a standard 1 vs 8, 4 vs 5, 2 vs 7 & 3 vs 4 format from there. I don't see that you can vote yet or not seeing where you vote.

Boxrec ranks em like:

(1)Diaz vs (8)Cuevas
(4)Schwarzkopf vs (5)Butaev
(2)CVH vs (7)Lawson
(3)Solomon vs (6)Nasiyiwula

CVH + Lawson are both Holyfield guys doe so I bet that one doesn't happen in the first round (conspiracy alert lol).

Fan vote? Lol, that's pretty badass. Too bad most fans won't know the majority of these guys. Diaz is the big time favorite in my eyes, with solomon as the clear #2 and Butaev as the dark horse. Van Heerden will be tough but not a threat to win the whole thing imo. Other guys don't have a shot I think

Zzzzz! What a garbage field. Mix of unknown prospects and retreads.

If it's a WBC tourney then it will be a tourney full of mostly scrubs. Never seen WBC ranking with all around great fighters, def not 8 fighters.

Decent group of fighters, should be a solid tournament.

Diaz is probably the odds on favorite, but I think Solomon could be a dark horse

Looks like a snoozer.

Did they cancel this or what?

At least there shouldn’t be too many mismatches. I think Diaz and Van Heerden are the standouts. Don’t really know little or anything about the rest.

This is old. Diaz lost the first fight then the tournament stopped after the quarterfinals.
