In order of most likely to NOT make it to the finals: Welsh - a ref will finally not give him a generous call Jax - Seidel ends his run in the semis Lilledahl - 125 is always a crazy weight Van Ness - he wilted in the spotlight last year, majored by Lovett Bastida - he’s opposite Trumble so may make the final but I think Trumble takes him Levi Haines - he’s so lucky to have beaten Bryce twice, but 174 is a little weak this year. PJ Duke - he looks very strong, not sure who can challenge him Messenbrink - pretty much a sure thing to make the finals Barr - can’t imagine anyone beating him, but maybe Sonny has some magic for him. Mendez - don’t see anyone beating him
