Faulks Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Sauerland: Cruiserweight Super Six Will Happen in 2011 By Raphael Kyc Promoter Kalle Sauerland, of Sauerland Event, stated in a recent interview that his company is still moving forward with their plan to stage a cruiserweight version of the Super Six tournament. According to the German promoter, the details are coming closer to a finalization, however, some very important issues have to be established, including the exact participants. "Talks are going in the right direction. We estimate that the first phase of the tournament will begin in the second half of 2011. As far as the competitors, it certainly will involve the four boxers who hold the belts of the WBA, IBF, WBC and WBO, and two contenders who represent the appropriate level but do not have any of these titles that I mentioned," Sauerland said. The names mentioned for the tournament include WBO champion Marco Huck, WBC champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, the winner of Saturday's bout between Yoan Pablo Hernandez and Steve Herelius, IBF champion Steve Cunningham, Denis Lebedev and WBA champion Guillermo Jones. Some of these boxers have upcoming title defenses. They need to win in order to ensure their involvement in the tournament. http://www.boxingscene.com/sauerland-cruiserweight-super-six-happen-2011--35745?

WelshDevilRob Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Should see some good match-ups. Interesting that a European promoter has got the 4 alphabet belts in the same tournament for Unification, maybe signifies the growing strength of Europe on the World scene.

londoner Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I've never been a fan of the CW division but i'm looking forward to future bouts in the division. Hopefully a tournament can be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
