Damn…just when I had lost all hope for boxing,they come out with this. This looks promising and I’m actually excited about this. When was the last time a tournament of this kind was held?..serious question.
I fucking love tournaments. Dana White,step your game up…
Andre Ward is the dark horse here. I really think that he’s going to do it. I am pulling for either him or JT… but I don’t know that Taylor has the chin anymore, and there’s some heavy hitters in this thing.

gonna agree with my fellow New Jerseyan. I really like Ward in this. Glad to see all the promoters get together on this and make it happen.

Abraham will prevail.
Very tough both in mind and body, strong and technical sound hands.
His only weakness is that he’s a slowstarter.

Agreed. He showed his toughness especially in the first fight against Miranda, going the distance and winning despite a broken jaw suffered in round four.
Good to finally see him fighting guys the caliber of Taylor etc. From the other fighters in the tournament, I’d give Kessler the best chance of stopping him. I’m definitely looking forward to that one.
…and yes,Dirrell being robbed was pathetic…but this was still a great watch. But you can’t have this shit happen if want an event of this magnitude to be an overall success.
