Monaco Tourney - Rodriguez, Maderna, Erdei, Grachev / Golovkin-Ishida / Rabchenko

[TigerFan]

Anyone know how the 4 man tournament works?

I heard Erdei/ Grachev is at 175 & Rodriguez/ Maderna is at 168

Do the winners meet at a catchweight?

Yes. The max weight for the final is 171 ½.

The final is scheduled to take place on July 13th at the same venue.

Grachev is a tough customer though. I like this fight. I actually like the card honestly. Not super special, but the two headliners are good matchups, and it is always fun to see Golovkin.

Ishida says he'll retire if he loses this. For me he is on a hiding to nothing here, so it'll be disappointing to see him go. Decent fighter.

Full praise to Golovkin for having his 2nd fight already this year. Nice to see a top fighter keeping active.

It's by no means certain, but assuming the favorites, Erdei and Rodriguez, come out as victors in the first round, that's a great finals match-up. I'm not sure who I favor? Rodriguez on youth? Erdei on skill?

The card is starting. I have a stream if anyone is interested.

Tamas Lodi 9-0-1 (7) vs Ilunga Makabu 12-1 (12) is up next.

[TigerFan]

Makabu dominated the first two rounds...he later dropped Lodi in the third and followed up and the ref stepped in.

Makabu winner by 3rd round TKO.

Kirill Relikh 12-0 (10 ) vs Paolo Gassani 16-3 (8 ) next.

I've heard good things about the Belarusian Relikh.

[Beanz]

Whoa big shot there

[TigerFan]

Relikh wins by knockout in the first.
