It's a very tough one to pick, although I think it would be cool if Zora won it. He got robbed in one of his early fights which was scored as a draw and then got blitzed by McVey. For him to overcome that and progress to stage two would be a great story.
If it happens, it would also make Tucker, having missed out after winning his first four bouts, really determined to redeem himself in the American tournament. It still amazes me how close he was to defeating Johnny Arthur, a win that would have secured both he and McVey's passage to stage two with still two series of bouts to go in stage one.
It's cruel for Johnny Arthur that by defeating Tucker he kept his own
and Folley's chances of progressing alive and now Folley has beaten him to all but end Arthur's chances. That's what's so great about these types of tournaments: the consequences that certain results have...
