WTF? Is this some sort of joke? Glen Johnson replacing Kessler in the super six?

why isnt lucian bute involved ?

He's with HBO

And he has a mandatory defense vs Jesse Brinkley

thats shit

Point one is that Green has had an uphill battle this whole tournament. I'm not defending Green here, but when he was scheduled to fight Kessler, no one said anything about the repurcussions of Green winning when a win by Green produced the same result as it does if he fights Johnson. Don't forget he started as a long shot because he came in with one loss already on his record and then he was immediately fed to Ward, the champion of the tournament. That would be tough for any supermiddleweight, let alone the underdog of the tournament. Imagine Froch in that position. How would he fare?

Point two is that Dirrell hasn't had a great tournament either and I don't think I'm alone in saying that I wouldn't be too unhappy if he didn't make it to the next round. Dirrell stunk out the joint worse than Green (versus Ward) when he fought Froch in Nottingham in a very winnable fight for him in my opinion. Froch at least generally has a fun style to watch whereas the same can't be said for Ward and Dirrell still made it horrible viewing. In his next fight, he took a debatable win over Abraham although I tend to believe he wasn't acting, that's besides the point. One loss due to negative fighting and one win on a DQ - he hasn't earned one victory himself. If he loses to Ward, why does he deserve to make it through when his only win was on a DQ? Moreover, he fought Abraham at home. Green won't fight one fight in his backyard wherever that is.

Now with Froch, I generally believe that he should make it to the next round, but if he's knocked out cold by Abraham, I understand how he could be eliminated. He should have won his match against Kessler. I believe Kessler is/was on the slide. And his win against Dirrell was more due to Dirrell's negative fighting than his winning. Bottom line, one loss against Kessler who is on the slide and one unimpressive win over Dirrell. That is why to me, Froch's fight versus Abraham is huge for his chances to advance. He beats Abraham and he has had a better run in the Super Six than Abraham himself, which merits advancement. However, if he were to lose, his resume doesn't look too solid because that's two losses and one unimpressive win. Not a very compelling CV if you ask me. A dominating performance by Green knocking out Bika or Johnson, which is what Green needs to advance, does more for me than Froch's win over Dirrell if Froch loses to Abraham.
