Yeah these tournaments are great for boxing and the fact now they have a tv deal in america will help the wbss alot. And yeah the Usyk vs Gassiev fight is very important and has so much on the line. First ever wbss winner and all 4 beltsCent0089 wrote: ↑18 Jul 2018, 13:38Damn that are very, very good names. Cheering for Inoue in bantam and Baranchyk in light welter, but Prograis would be a favorite probably. These tournament are very good for boxing, Respect to promoters for being able to put together boxers of that caliberBoxing101101 wrote: ↑18 Jul 2018, 13:31 Official all fighters have been confirmed for both tournaments

The official draw will take place on Friday in Moscow however 3 first round fights that will defiantly be happening are:
Emmanuel Rodriquez vs Jason Maloney IBF Bantamweight
Kiryl Relikh vs Eduard Troyanovsky WBA Super Lightweight
Ivan Baranchyk vs Anthony Yigit Vacant IBF Super Lightweight
Both are great tournaments and are hard to predict but im going for Nayoa Inoue and Regis Prograis to come out as winners
Edit: what is bad, cruiserweight final fight between Usyk and Gassiev did not get enough attention around the world. That is one of most important matches this year
