I agree. I'm becoming increasingly less intersted in this tournament. I still like the fights, but I think the goal has been missed.

BTW, long time no "see" Spicoli. Lord willing, I'll be in the Dome Sunday for a "dirty bird" plucking!

Allan Green vs Sakio Bika Rumored For Quebec - Boxing News

According to several outlets in Canada, members of Sakio Bika's team are telling reporters that Bika has a good chance to enter Showtime's Super Six Boxing Classic against Allan Green. The outlets are reporting that Bika-Green could take place in Quebec. If that's true, there would have to be some extra money being exchanged because Green's Super Six contract calls for his next fight to take place in the United States.

After Mikkel Kessler withdrew from the Super Six with an eye injury, Showtime's initial plan was to drop Green, who didn't have any points, and push Arthur Abraham-Carl Froch and Andre Ward-Andre Dirrell into the semi-finals.

At some point, Showtime changed their course of direction and made a decision to let the third stage of the tournament play out, and to secure a replacement for Kessler.

Green and Bika were scheduled to fight earlier this year in a Super Six box-off. The winner was going to replace Jermain Taylor in the tournament. Showtime thought Bika-Green was a done deal - until Bika lashed out in the press about the money being offered and how he never signed a contract or accepted the fight. At the time, Showtime turned away from Bika and put Green in the tourney.

do both green and bika need a knockout to go through?

might make it interesting

Green looked horrible against Ward in his one fight in the tournament. However, Kessler looked horrible against Ward too. Green v. Bika for the last spot isn't a bad scrap. It's a styles clash and has the potential to be a firecracker of a fight. And like Erics44 said, they need a knockout to make it to the next round, which serves as motivation.

I thought Kessler looked shite against Froch as well to be honest.
