Junior Middleweight tournament set
Posted: 28 Jan 2015, 06:20
Looks like the guy who suggested a tournament to line up a successor to one of Floyd's titles upon Floyd retiring (supposedly in Sept. of this year) has gotten that tournament setup. It will start in April/May, the semifinals will go down around September & the finals (perhaps for Floyd's 154lb belt) will go down in Feb. of 2016.
Not the biggest names out there obviously, but still a solid tournament.
The participants & first round matchups (BoxRec ranking listed):
#44, John Jackson, 19-2 (15) vs #25, Dennis Laurente, 49-5 (30)
#48, Yudel Jhonson, 16-1 (9) vs #45, Jorge Cota, 24-1 (22)
#23, Sergey Rabchenko, 25-1 (18) vs #33, Luciano Cuello, 35-3 (17)
#126, Domonique Dolton, 15-0 (8) vs #68/147lbs, Lukasz Maciec, 22-2-1 (5)
Worth noting, Jackson, Jhonson & Dolton are all with Al Haymon.
