WBSS Bantamweight

Fat Dan said that they are doing bantam and jr welter.

Yea Prograis, Relikh, Troyanovsky, Baranchyk, Yigit and Ryan Martin are names I've heard are confirmed.

Ya. Pretty exciting. Nobody world class, but the winner will definitely make a good name for himself.

Prograis is my boy, but Baranchyk is must watch TV.

I don’t think that Baranchyk is that good. He looks like a fighter who will get thoroughly outclassed once he steps up.

I really hope Lipinets gets in the tourney too. IMO he would be the favorite to win.

This is gonna be Brilliant, 3 World Champs in one tournament

Just saw that they are doing three weights instead of two this time. That’s pretty awesome. Bantam is for sure, jr welter is most likely and they don’t have a third one. Supposedly they talked about HW. I really hope it isn’t because I honestly wouldn’t be interested in a HW tourney unless Wilder and AJ were in it which wouldn’t happen.

Josh Taylor best be in the lightwelters, I make him favourite over all those guys, although Prograis and Lipinets are great fights. You could throw in guys like Alex Saucedo or even Ohara Davies (although it doesn't work with him already being spanked by Taylor) and Zlaticanin.

Another great weightclass for a division without superstars.

Sauerland said Inoue is almost a done deal, McDonnell too, so they're obviously waiting for the winner of that bout, probably both.

The rest of bantamweight is a bit weak though - Solis, Haskins, they'll probably throw in a Japanese/Filipino if Inoue gets to fight out there.

For anyone who didn't see it. Inoue vs Payano: fight starts around 3 min mark.
