Some solid fighters in this tournament, should be a few decent fights along the way as well.

So all those fights are on the April 27th card? I like that way of doing it, should make for a good watch that gets people talking/comparing/predicting right away and builds for the semis.

always respected Holyfield, if he promotes the way he fought he will be a success

[chico malo ali]

decent fights! always fun to see an unknown boxer pull the upset!

[BigZ44]

Should definitely be wins for Diaz and Van Heerden, Lawson ain't that good but gets an easy matchup, so he should win. That 4 vs 5 is legit. Solomon is the 2nd best fighter in this tourney imo, but Butaev is the wildcard as the young, up and coming prospect. Very interesting that one will be

Butaev vs Solomon in particular is a good fight

Butaev vs Solomon in particular is a good fight

Agree. Best fight of the first round. See where Butaev is at and see what Solomon has left. That side of the bracket probably decides the tournament cuz the winner fights Felix Diaz.

Obviously I'm not as big on Lawson and CVH as those other 3 guys.

Whatever doe it should be fun whatever happens.
