Showtime to do SMW tournament with Abraham/Kessler/Froch/Taylor/Ward/Dirrell?

[CFH]

Kessler over Ward by close-ish UD.

Dirrell over Froch because both Ouma and Legion picked Froch.

Abraham with a brutal late stoppage over Taylor (who will be ahead on the cards at the time).

[CFH]

I just thought of something, if there are only 3 fights how do they determine who fights in the next round? 3 fighters going forwards only equals one fight which can be made...

[OumaFan]

Its some kind of point system. LOL how unlikely does this all seem. But seriously I think its like 3 for KO, two for a decision, something like that, they'll go through all the scheduled fights and pick the four semifinalists using that.

This is the tentative schedule, more tentative for the fights after the first round end.


1- Taylor-Abraham( Germany)

2- Kessler-Ward( US)

3- Dirrell - Froch( UK)

4- Abraham- Dirrell

5- Kessler-Froch

6- Ward-Taylor

7- Dirrell- Ward

8- Abraham- Froch

9- Kessler-Taylor

I will literally believe this when I see it but supposedly its set.

And I'm surprised you're acting like you're really picking Dirrell.

Ok explain to me how long this tournament will last? These guys going to make a career off this tournament or what?

I have no idea who will win that fight to be honest. I just felt like being contrary. I've only seen Dirrell fight once. However, I'm not that impressed with Froch. That being said, I do think Froch will probably win if I'm being honest.

The round-robin format is stupid IMO.

I wish Pavlik could get tossed in there; he'd look like squashed possum by the time it was over.

I have no idea who will win that fight to be honest. I just felt like being contrary. I've only seen Dirrell fight once and I wasn't overly impressed. However, I'm not that impressed with Froch either. That being said, I do think Froch will probably win if I'm being honest.

The round-robin format is stupid IMO.

I don't know, its stupid in a structural sense for how the semifinalists are chosen but, bright side, a lot of good fights.

If it all comes off this way. I still can't believe this is actually happening and I wouldn't be shocked at all if there were modifications. Like Legion says this shit is going to be going on for a while as it stands. Couple years at least. The whole thing is bizarre but everybody seems to be sticking with the story that its set.

It just seems like with that format, there are even more variables in play that could derail the whole project. I'd rather see an elimination-type event, with the winners and losers both fighting each other.

[OumaFan]

Hmm, Kessler and Abraham don't fight on the tentative schedule.

Taylor and Froch have it tough, they both have to fight Kessler and Abraham. If Froch makes it through to the semifinals having to go through Dirrell, Kessler, and Abraham then I guess I'd have to be impressed.

[CFH]

If Taylor has to fight Kessler and Abraham, he's going to need to walk around wearing a helmet for the rest of his life. If he ever comes out of the coma.

LOL.....Reading that gave me an image of Beetlejuice for some reason.

[LEGION]

Ok either you peckerheads are ignoring me or trying to figure out if I was being serious. How long will this thing last? I don't understand this whole thing. Is this going to take years to finish or what? Answer goddamnit

It seems like I used a comma needlessly there. I'm very ashamed of myself.

[OumaFan]

the thing is are they contractually tied to finish this, say Taylor gets knocked out the first two fights (granted I doubt Ward knocks him out) are they gonna push him out the locker room door and wheel him up to the ring for the third fight knowing the whole things hopeless?

I would assume they would have to have these guys tied in to finish it. Of course they could break it, feign an injury or really be injured.

Kessler over Ward by close-ish UD.

Dirrell over Froch because both Ouma and Legion picked Froch.

Abraham with a brutal late stoppage over Taylor (who will be ahead on the cards at the time).

Seriously I don't know diddly beans about Dirrell and if I saw him fight I forgot about it I've seen a few of Crotch's fights now.
