    Hopefully Inoue enters at Bantamweight too.

    Could see there being an issue with Taylor entering, him pretty much being Cyclones only fighter. Just means we'd have to settle for Ramirez/Taylor whilst the tournament is on, lol.

      The tournament would be more legit with another title in there, but my fanboy bias would prefer my fellow Scot in it.

      1 of 2 wouldn't be too bad, I'd question why they couldn't get both though.

        Solid stuff.

        I think it's a little light on starpower, though. Where are they going to stage these fights, these guys are not the biggest draws? I wonder if they could tempt someone from lightweight to move up and help round it out.

          Yeah I think you're right, he's guaranteed a WBC shot any way if he beats Postol, not sure he'd give that up for the WBSS?

              168 was considered bumsville when the tournament happened. after ward won he became an all time great for beating a bunch of slow reflex/non explosive fighters. i get it?

                Gonna boldly call it now, if he enters Josh Taylor wins this entire tournament.

                Shame about Ramirez not entering, but if we get those 4 plus Taylor, Flanagan, Lipnets and Indongo. It’ll be a damn good tournament

                    Obviously has to get past Postol.
                    I think he will KO Postol.

                      Relikh-Troyanovsky
                      Flanagan-Maybe Catterall ?
                      Baranchyk-Yigit

                      Also wouldnt mind Lipinets in here...and Orozco...Figueroa. Guys like that
