Only 3 weeks away from the tournament and now we now all of the participants. Which fighter do you have as a favorite to win this tournament?
In my opinion, though I could be very wrong on this, I feel that a big surprise is coming from tafa in this tournament. Though with it being a tournament my brain is telling me tafa can't win 3 fights in one night with his conditioning and weakness against leg kicks. But I do think that he has the best boxing... at least compared to the fighters that are fighting in this tournament...and being only 22 years old, he sure has not reached his prime yet, therefore I'm expecting big improvements from him.
Benny and jamal are the next to win this in my book. But jamal has terrible cardio and if he doesn't manage to finish off his opponents fast, he won't do well later on. But at the same time if he gets an easy opponent in the first fight he has the tools to finish the fight faster than other fighters and come in with an advantage in the semi or final against a strong opponent.
One thing is for sure, Arkadiusz Wrzosek has no place in this tournament, he has already two losses to colin george(who has lost almost every fight he has ever had) and Nikolai Falin, who I believe has a negative record. They could have signed Roman Kryklia or Fabio Kwasi.

Doubt Tafa will get past the quarters. Got Adegbuyi/Saddik/Wilnis winning it. Love me some Guto but even if he KO'd someone in the quarterfinal and decision won a semi against someone better, he isn't winning a 3rd fight in one night. Saddik would need the early finishes and if he doesn't get them then Adegbuyi/Wilnis. Still voted Guto though

seeing how close the first fight between guto and tafa was and the fact it was tafa's first high level fight in his career, I think he would take the rematch this time. Plus he is so young it's amazing that he is at this level already.
I don't think guto can win this and for the love of kickboxing it will be a tragedy if he does. At least saddik/wilnis and tafa are interesting fights for rico. Saddik pushed rico to the limit and wilnis and tafa never fought rico.

Kwasi for what? He is on a bad streak. Kryklia yes. Even Morosanu would have been better. Londt is still on Glory's roster? Anyway, cheering up for Adegbuyi but it's gonna be hard.
Guto can't take it imo, it should be between Ben Saddik, Adegbuyi and Wilnis. But let's see the brackets first.
I will be surprised if Benny wins another tournament.

Adegbuyi takes this, with my dark horse being Wilnis.
Ben Saddik could take it if he wins his first two fights by quick KO's. While I see him winning his first fight quickly, I don't think he can get past Adegbuyi - his most likely second opponent - quickly, if at all.
I just don't see Guto having a chance at all. He may win his first fight, but that's it.
Mozny, Abdallah and Wrzosek will probably fall quickly.
That leaves Tafa. While I do see him losing his first fight, he may have it in him to pull an upset in the quarterfinals as he's tough and a decent boxer. There's no way he's getting past two good fighters though, unless something crazy happens.

While I see him winning his first fight quickly, I don't think he can get past Adegbuyi - his most likely second opponent - quickly, if at all. I'm betting all my money on Saddik he's been in excellent shape lately and Adegbuyi has a pretty weak jaw in my opinion. If he gets hit with a half decent punch he will be KO'ed by Saddik.
