Re: WBSS Cruiserweight II
I wouldnt mind seeing the cruisers again but I assume if Usyk wins he'll move up to heavy in search of big money fights.
I think Bantomweight is a certainty and there are some cracking fighters to go in there.
Burnett,
Tete,
Rigondeaux,
McDonnell/Inoue winner (or both if its a close fight)
Butler/Rodriguez winner
Wangek and a few other super flys
Re: WBSS Cruiserweight II
I'm not sure Usyk would go straight to heavyweight, obviously that's where the money is, but if he can get decent purses for a second round he may be enticed to stick around and clean out the division and defend his titles. I agree tho he'll move up sooner rather than later.
Bantam would be awesome, as would 175 and 126. Many divisions are starting to get the top fights made, more of these tournaments are needed, not just among the top guys but also tourneys with the fringe fighters to establish contenders.
Re: WBSS Cruiserweight II
Holyfields 147 comp which started last night looks pretty decent. No where near the top dogs in the division (and unlikely ever will be) but still entertaining. Just watching a replay on boxnation now.

No announcement on participants yet. Maybe Usyk/ Bellew could become part of the first round.
Re: WBSS Cruiserweight II
Are there going to be repeats I wonder? Or are they going to get a whole new crop of cruisers and let Usyk defend his title?

I'd like to see Usyk/ Breidis 2. Probably new fights. Cruiser is still pretty stacked.

I still didn’t think that fight was that close. I thought that Usyk clearly won and am not interested in a second fight.

Yea I thought Usyk won clear as well but it was definitely harder than the Gassiev fight. Breidis/ Gassiev or Dorticus might be fun.
Re: WBSS Cruiserweight II
This is what I have been hearing so far. Excellent line up. No Lebedev again tho.
Andrew Tabiti/ Ruslan Fayfer.
Mairis Briedis/ Noel Gevor.
Yunier Dorticos/ Mateusz Masternak.
Krzysztof Glowacki/ Maksim Vlasov.
