Dmitry Bivol is apparently a free agent now. Should ESPN do a 175 tournament?

Not a bad idea . I'd prefer at least Six fighters in the tournament though .
Although i know that the more fighters you include . The more difficult it gets to keep it going .

Yeah man that's what I meant. Browne can get in from PBC, we ain't trying to exclude anyone. Just get the 4 titlists and Zurdo signed on, that leaves 3 more spots for a 8 man tourney, and there should be plenty of guys wanting to get in on it once Zurdo and all the titlists are on board.

Kovalev/Yarde vs Badou Jack

Bivol vs Browne

Gvozdyk vs Alvarez

Beterbiev vs Zurdo

Then if the favorites win...

Gvozdyk-Beterbiev

Kovalev-Bivol

Then maybe it's Russia vs Ukraine, Gvozdyk vs Bivol, in the final, and maybe they could even fight 2 or 3 times.

Or we could end up with Kovalev-Browne semifinal, and Gvozdyk-Zurdo, who knows maybe it's even a Gvozdyk-Browne final for all 4 belts instead of just the WBC mando.

Or you could organize it any number of ways. Can't really go wrong. Jack just lost 12 rounds so you could even keep him out of it and just let Kovalev-Yarde be his quarterfinal matchup.

You really can't go wrong. I just want them to do it.

I like it .
I also thought Badou would be a good addition .
