Lightweight Tournament!! Let's Talk

[XaduBoxer]

I'm not a fan of this tournaments sponsored by Golden Boy Promotions... I see it as a one time event without any significant continuation...

Look at the World Cup tournament among nations sponsored by GBP, after the Philippines trashed Mexico by a score of 5-1 last August 2007, it's been forgotten... They should have held a World Cup event every year... There's lots of match-ups like Philippines vs. Puerto Rico or Philippines vs. Thailand or Mexico vs. Puerto Rico which is a huge event...

The World Cup thing would make sense if it was a team sport, but it's not.

Not sure really what GBP's final objective with this World Cup thing... Of course GBP wants to make money from this tournaments...

Back to the lightweight tournament, I don't think GBP will have the enthusiasm to continue promoting it if Valero or Julio Diaz will come out on top...

Another thing, they said the winner of the tournament will have a crack on JMM-Juan Diaz winner, how about Campbell-Funeka? Are they left out from this whole thing? Also there are too many boxers involved and I think it takes at least a year to crown one winner...

I think this lightweight tournament is just a one time money making rip off by GBP...

I'll still pay for this of course, but for once I actually agree with you, the tournament should be

JMM \_________
Diaz / \
\__________
/
Campbell \_________/
Funeka /


That being said it's worth it to me to see Katsidis, Barrios, Casa and Valero.

Well it's not really a bad card... I have some interest in Edwin Valero-Antonio Pitalua and Joel Casamayor-Julio Diaz fights but no interest at all on Michael Katsidis-Jesus Chavez and Jorge Barrios-Carlos Hernandez fights...

Katsidis and Chavez are both pressure fighters, it should be an exciting one, if Katsidis hit harder it would be a blowout, but because of his lack of power it should be competitive.

Don't rely on it so much... How disappointed are you in the Katsidis-Juan Diaz fight? It was predicted to be a total war between two always come forward pressure fighters but...

You do got a point. Especially about a potential Campbell/Funeka absence. But a tournament does clear up who's really a contender and who's not

The first World Cup of Boxing was Mexico vs Thailand, it wasn't forgotten and it was a great card. So was the second one and it had some great fights. They should just not call it the World Cup and it would work better.

As for this tournament, I'm only halfway interested in half the names. There are plenty of guys I would rather see like Anthony Peterson, the winner of tomorrow's fight, Guzman and others. Katsidis is fun to watch but if I want a tournament I want the best contenders possible.

Though I must say all of those fights have a chance to be very good.

Who ever wins the JMM vs Juan Diaz fight will be the Lightweight Champion, so I think that is the logical opponent for the winner.
