I Think The Super Six Has Been Rubbish In All Honesty.

I think it matters that Jermain Taylor and Kessler are out of this tournament, maybe at the begining of it, but Jermain was dominated by Abraham and Ward beat Kessler even easier, I think Dirrell deserves to be 2-0 as well, and I think Ward-Dirrell is one of the biggest fights in boxing.

In truth Taylor should never have been in it.

Dirrel doesnt deserve to be 2-0, his performance against froch was so anti boxing he should have been disqualified by about round 6 and after his performance gains at the end of the abraham fight he should have been handed a ban

Either the prize fighter format, each fight is 3 rounds long.

all six fighters in the ring at once, last man standing.

A pie eating contest.

aye it was the format that messed it up

americans know very little about how to make a tournament like this exciting,

they made it too complicated and its just turned rubbish

should of got an englishman to organise it

First trial run, we learned a lot from this for better or worse. I think the sentiments that "It's better than them avoiding each other" and "it makes more sense than the belts and p4p rankings" are exactly right and show that this is a step in the right direction for boxing.

What seems to be more logical to me is a simple 8 man bracket. I understand the issue with one loss and you're out, but you could always qualify for the next tournament and give it another go.

A double elimination tournament with 8 fighters would have been about as long.

i think it was doomed to fail anyway, the gap between fights is to long, there is always going to be injuries as well along the way. i was excited when it was announced & well done for all the hard work of the promoters its gotta of been bloody ball ache. i think a better format would of been having all the fights on the same night. this would of helped promote the future fights more as after interviews between fighters would build up momentum.

I think super 6 has been great. The best fighting the best. Weve seen 3 unbeaten records go. Had it not been for this tourny they may have continued to protect that zero. Weve seen upsets. Weve seen contoversy. Weve seen raw emotion from guys pushed out of their comfort zone. Weve seen a great KO. A war that will be FOTY candidate and now we have two intruging semi finals and then the final which will be for the unified belts with Kessler meeting the winner.

It's been great for the sport and I look forward to the next super 6.

The only decent fight so far has been Mikkel Kessler vs Carl Froch, but it just seems this is taking forever to finish with rescheduling and fighters pulling it out. Im just really losing interest in it.

I just think it would of been better to have arranged the match ups, instead of having a tournament. Then fighters like Lucian Bute could of been involved.

I completely agree. Seemed like a great idea that has not lived up entirely to its potential.

BTW, I'm back guys (not that I've been missed.) Been on almost complete depravation for two months.

I thought it was a great idea at first. But it got kinda derailed.
