Light-middle Tournament - Round One

[Taansend]

Well back in the old days this might have worked so we'll see how it does in todays Boxrec forum.

Light-middle is a loaded division. I've picked eight bouts with 16 fighters (obviously). Most of the top boys are here & I threw in a couple of fun ones.

I apologise if I missed your favourite.

Please pick the fighters you think will win each bout. You have eight votes each & voting runs until next Sunday then we'll go to the next round.

I've included some fights that are already made or rumoured to be made.

Ennis v Samake

Fundora v Thurman

Ramos v Adams

Ortiz v Lubin

Murtazaliev v Kelly

Baraou v Bohachuk

Madrimov v Katzourakis

Zayas v Walsh

Thanks to anyone who voted.

Ennis over Samake. I've never heard of Samake but I doubt it matters.

Fundora over Thurman

Ortiz over Lubin

Other than Israil Madrimov I've never heard of or seen the rest of these guys fight.

Fun idea and some unexpected but interesting match ups. Have to admit that I would curious to see how these three play out: Ramos Jr vs. Adams, Baraou vs. Bohachuk, and Madrimov vs. Katzourakis.

Is that short for Why or Yes?

[margaret thatcher]

will you buy me the beer if i say yes

I'd buy you several beers for no reason other than you're a top bloke & a boxing fan.

It would have to be Happy Hour though as San Diego is $10+ a beer ,and that's 16 ounce pints.

I'm the one who went for Lubin

I think he ruins the Ortiz/Ennis plans.

He's vulnerable, no doubt, but he's a top boxer with a wicked shot. I think he has a perfect fight in him, think he could do the biz against Ortiz.

I love Lubin. I was living in Florida when he was coming up. The loss to Charlo was a bit of a shocker.

I just feel that Ortiz is a bit special, if he's still OK at the weight.

Think it took him a while to get over the charlo loss. Then fundora was just a nightmare.

He has legit power and i also just wonder, stylewise, has ortiz faced a slick, black boxer with power?

I suppose the closest to it would be Maurice Hooker.

Hooker also had arms like an albatross.

But this is a different fight. I wouldn't be massively surprised if Lubin won. But I'm still around 75-25 in favour of Ortiz.

[Taansend]

We're still neck & neck in the Barou v Bohachuk & the Zayas v Walsh fights.

It's funny with Bohachuk. He's a fornicating beast who gave Ortiz all sorts of trouble but he's fairly clueless against Adams.

Similar in a way to Figueroa against Fulton. Sometimes a bloke just has your number.

There’s some uneven votes.

I didn't vote on some of the fights because I don't know either fighter

Then this is the perfect opportunity to have a quick look at them.

Or just vote blind. Like I do on the horses.
