Carl Froch 6/1

And you wouldn't get a single punter betting ;D

On the contrary he'd likley go bankrupt.

I'd definitely take those 6/1 odds on Froch and 4/1 Abraham is pretty tasty.

Making the rank outsiders Dirrell and Ward his 2/1 favourites is just stupid.

Any sensible punter would back Ward and Dirrell at their 10/1 odds elsewhere than come to him and get some nice tasty rewards on Froch and Abraham.

As long as Kessler or Taylor don't win the punters would have a field day.

Beaton from pillar to post ?? What fight were you watching mate, you Americans sometimes are biased as fuck and seem to find it hard to give any fighter not from your shores any fucking credit, Froch was always in the fight, a beating from Pillar to post i would say is similar to a Calzaghe-Lacy fight or Hopkins-Pavlik fight, Froch-Taylor not a fucking chance.

I had Taylor up 6-3 after 9, if the fight had finished i had Taylor winning by one fucking point.

You fucking British are biased as fuck as well. It's also very hard for any fighter who is not in the vicinity of England,Ireland Wales, or Scotland a fair shake ala Haye vs Klitschko (are you people fucking serious or is it a joke with that fight) Pillar to post maybe was a stretch but give me one clear round that Froch won that couldn't be argued with. IMO just about every round until the 10,11,12. Froch is tough but as a fighter he will be exposed in this tournament and probably knocked out and yes I could easily see our American fighter's knocking his ass out and making a damn fool of him.

At the end of the day it does not matter who was winning on points. Froch got the TKO because Taylor was pressured by him all the way through the fight which worn Talor down, just like Pavlik did against him in his first fight.
I like to watch Talor fight but I just dont think he has a chance in hell of winning the super six. I would have put some one like Chad Dawson or Pavlik in the tounament (even though they probably would not have signed up for it).
