      WBSS tried it but the financials were a major issue. Russia basically saved the first Cruiserweight season. And thankfully Usyk didn´t care where he fights. The second season didn´t really do anything for the division.
      Showtimes S6 was a clusterfuck from the start. They failed to sign Bute.
      Taylor lost back to back KO´s and dropped out. He was replaced by Greene, who lost both his fights.
      Abraham lost two fights in a row and still got into the semi finals. Abraham then took a tuneup to get his mojo back.
      Dirrell ended up withdrawing which forced Ward to take a tuneup aswell. And prior to Dirrell pulling out, his bout with Ward was a s-show as well, with delays and uncertainties. Fortunately, Bika was a legit contender and it was a decent fight.
      Kessler also had to withdraw and he was replaced by Glen Johnson, who was a nice addition, but he moved down in weight for the tournament.
      And I might remember this slightly wrong, but I think there was an issue with the finals as Showtime´s contract dictated that fight happen on US soil, but Frock´s team had other ideas.
      And this reminded me of the shitshow Froch v Abraham was.
      On top of it all, during each stage everyone was supposed to fight 3 times in the tournament. Out of 6 fighters, only Abraham and Froch did so.
      But as a fan, I freaking loved it all! Sucks that the format didn´t work out tho.

      @@nassiglutt6587 Floyd did not start that crap with Delahoya. He did it from day 1. Living in Vegas I can say that Floyd is nobody to look up to. My girlfriend and myself saw him and 5 friends beat the hell out of a homeless man for accidentally bumping into him back in 1994 or 95. I follow the fighters very close out here. Boxing or MMA. I am everywhere in Vegas following training camps and watching for technique flaws or laziness or injuries in fighters. I see these guys alot. I know who they all are and it was no doubt Floyd that I saw do this. That's the first time I saw a fighter beat down a civilian with a herd of friends. 25 years later I watched Khabib Nurmogamedov tell one of the other 11 guys he was with you grab the boob of a woman who was with her husband to anger the man into fighting so they could hospitalize him. It worked and as the man lay unconscious one man looks right at Khabib and says what now? Khabib said and I quote " Break his bones, just another fat American." Then he goes on TV acting humble and nice. Point is, you do not know these guys enough to put them on a pedestal as role models for kids. A great majority of them are thugs and belong in prison. Delahoya turns out to be a drunk prick. Oddly enough one of the kindest fighters I spoke with repeatedly was Mike Tyson and Bernard Hopkins. Both very nice, funny, genuine and kind men. But both are former felons. Just gotta be careful who you look up too.

    I cannot express how great this short film is. I'm just in awe of how you've taken Wards story from being a fighter nobody gave a second look at him rising to the level that he ultimately did. The odds that Ward faced were truly monumental considering the records of all the other top class fighters and Champions 🏆. You told the story of how Ward etched his way forward in some real dog fights, even upsetting the oddsmakers choices of who was favored to win it all in the Super Six Middleweight Tournament. Especially when Ward went up against Froch with one arm. But i loved the Kovalev fights where we saw Ward comeback from off the canvas to win and then rematch him to put the exclamation mark ‼️on who truly was the better fighter. Just a truly wonderful film 🎥 to experience. Nobody narrates like you do brother or sounds like you. Your a great story teller and your reputation is well deserved. This was Bloody Fantastic and I watched it 3 times so I could make sure to see every morsel of this story about the Amazing Andre Ward who I hope will go down as one of the best to ever do this sport. Stand side by side with the other legends of the sport.

      Casual for sure, Garcia? Isaac Lopez? SMH Davis only fights slow moving boxers with zero skills. He is only 1 weight champion, the other two are fake championship belts, he has interim belts and never actives the mandatory to fight the real champions. Garcia is another for champion, basically a TH-cam fighter, he sucks.
