Why not Breidis vs. Goulamirian/Leren/Papin/Bejenaru. Gevor sounds like a bad fight.
Season 2 sucks by the way. They didn't get any of the dudes I've listed. Only Tabiti and Valsov seem like a new real threat. Dorticos and Glowacki failed miserably. Fayfer, Masternak, and Gevor shouldn't have been included.
Seems like Breidis will sweep the tournament. I'd be surprised if he doesn't.
Lerena is just caught juicing and he is known for receiving bad decisions like vs Kalenga
Goulamirian maybe Papin too (but he had like 9 fights and just doubt that he would want to participate in this) would be a better choice than Mikaelian or Fayfer but to be fair, Mikaelian is not that bad, not great but at least much better than Fayfer, i rank him as #14 CW. i think that he will last to the final bell vs Briedis and will lose 118-110 type of decision, maybe he will be knocked down once. at least he is better than Fayfer. Tabiti didn't impress me so far, neither in Cunningham nor Fayfer fight. the Tabiti vs Fayfer was terrible btw. Dorticos will knock him out, maybe im wrong but thats my prediction.
Masternak arguably beats all of the fighters you mentioned above and he was competetive vs Dorticos (of course he clearly lost but he did well) i wouldn't be surprised if he beats Tabiti or even Vlasov. maybe even Glowacki. Masternak was 41-4 (in fact 42-3 because the Muller terrible robbery should be counted as Masternak win, even Muller's coach and promoters have admitted afterwards that Masternak was the better fighter lol) and lost only to Drozd (arguably the best CW at this time) Kalenga (could go either way, it was a prime Kalenga that was Lebedev down and was very game vs him) and Bellew (115-113). Masternak just before fighting Dorticos made Kalenga quit after 5 rounds and he arguably won every round, he was dominant. in his resume he also have past prime but still good Mormeck, Sillakh and then undefeated Janik. What better Goulamirian, juicer and robbery decisions beneficiary Lerena or Bejenaru? Masternak's dominant win over Kalenga is better than all what Vlasov did so far.
if Vlasov loses to Glowacki i would love to see the fight Vlasov vs Masternak fight, they're both very experienced and skilled.
This season is not perfect but it's still good. Usyk and Gassiev couldn't participate but we still have some top guys. my perfect WBSS (without Usyk, Gassiev and Bellew) would look like this:
Briedis vs Goulamirian
Dorticos vs Tabiti
Lebedev vs Masternak
Glowacki vs Vlasov
or without Lebedev version:
Briedis vs Makabu
Dorticos vs Tabiti
Glowacki vs Goulamirian
Vlasov vs Masternak
