You're right... for some reason I had Saladbar in the other side of the draw.

Has it always been 'winner of 2' against 'winner of 3'? I could have sworn it was 2 against 4 just earlier... hence my earlier post..

Whoever wins our match, has a good chance of getting to the final.

Saldivar likes this, and has decided to adopt it as his official nickname.

All now fear Vicente "Saladbar" Saldivar!!

He's done that already. Now he's going for vengeance!!

Griffo is hoping to put a dent in your ambitions

We'll see little man, we'll see.

To be honest, I thought i'd struggle against Pep, Dundee and Chacon but beat them all, so Griffo has his hand raised against Saladbar, despite the chances being low.

Avenge your SSM brother Jai!!!

I think am doing us proud so far this season. Two okish fighters inside the top 10. Griffo the WBU champion and has also had two major title fights, along with being in the semi's of this tournament.

This isn't madness... THIS IS SHELLSUIT MAAAAFIIIAAAAAA!!!

Willie Pep v Israel Vazquez
Young Griffo v Vicente Saldivar

And so we are down to the Last Four...
But ther can be only one.

(I see my pick is still in there)

Saldivar-Griffo is on!!

Classic Boxer vs Brawler encounter...

Semifinal Odds:
Willie Pep-4/6 vs Israel Vasquez-5/4
Draw-16/1

Vicente Saldivar-3/5 vs Young Griffo-4/3
Draw-10/1

I'd make Saladbar a stronger favourite.

Griffo has been stopped when he's stepped up against anyone powerful. Arguello and Marquez are examples.

Griffo will do well to win this one, fingers fvcking crossed.

I'm lookingt forward to reading these fights... Should be close.

And the Tournament winner will a worthy WBO champion I might add.

Sadly the powers that be will not allow the WBU to be "portable".

So, am I not the WBU champ at present?

Saladbar will likely be the WBU champ after this week anyway!

Saldivar has a CR of 14, so he is just 1 place too high to fight for the WBU.

How did Griffo become champ then, because he was ranked too high?

I've no idea.

Oh dear, someone has made a blunder. :L

Just let it be, it wouldn't be fair to strip the WBU Champion.

I am genuinely gutted not to be involved in this tournament anymore. Damn you Saldy! Damn you to hell!
