Froch is the favourite for Super Six Tournament

[ElTerribleMorales]

i didn't say that it was some lucky punch, but Froch was lucky that Taylor's stamina was shit, cause had it been against anyone else that could go the full 12 without looking like they just went through a marathon, Taylor's stamina is a joke, but he was DOMINATING Froch, anyone who tries to deny that is simply blind, and going into the 12th don't really see how it could of been that close, i had Taylor winning the first 8 straight plus a KD, it was a bit back and forth from the 9th to the 10th, i personally had Froch winning the three rounds, and then it ended in the 12th, so the score was something like 107-101 for Taylor, so wasn't really that close going into the final round, props to Froch to capitalize on Taylors weak stamina and getting the KO, but it doesn't erase the FACT that he was getting horribly outboxed and got dropped, he's hardly unbeatable or the best fighter in the tournament by default

In what rounds? The first 3 or 4 I agree but after that it was dead even fight.

Froch lost all the first 4 rounds, one by 10-8 yet was only four rounds down going into the final round on the official and most people's scorecards. The commentators and some at ringside had it much closer some thinking Froch might already be level, maybe even ahead going into the last round, not saying I agree with them.

But he clearly wasn't dominated for the entire fight.

Had Taylor survived to the bell Froch would have lost a split decision by a single point on the official cards I believe, hardly a domination.

He was no more dominated than the great J C Chavez was in his first fight with Meldrick Taylor, and Chavez dominated him the rematch.

He won the fight, not as a result of a lucky punch, or Taylor suddenly gassing in an instant but because of the intense round by round pressure and aggression he put on Taylor for the whole fight.

It was a sloppy start but he recovered to win a great fight.

And his performance over Pascal, who is now a bona fida 175 lb champ was maybe even better.

He's a warrior, not hard to hit, not the fastest, but he will stand and bang with these guys and make for some great figts.

His last two fights have been crazy entertaing, I expect the Dirrell fight to be no different. If Dirrell is to beat him he will have to go through the fire to do it because Froch will most definitely test his chin, heart and courage.

Froch is a bit overrated in my mind. He was losing a close fight with Taylor and JT also put Froch on his backside, and Taylor is a natural Middleweight and was never considered a big puncher. Froch is very funny and has massive heart, but I believe he lacks the skills to win this tourney.

Kessler is a solid pick. This is his natural weight and has established himself and his only loss is to the great Joe Calzaghe.

Abraham is kind of tricky, he doesn't have any flaws in his game and has only fought at 168 once (against Miranda) and he looked good. Tough to really say how he will do, but I think he will go far.

Ward is a good pick with his odds. Tough to go against the Son of God he has good skills and he is a natural SMW. He has fought some stiff competition on his way up so he is somewhat battle tested.

Dirrell is kind of a darkhorse. He is green, but he does have good skills that might take him far, but he will be going into deep deep waters for the first time in his career.

I don't see Taylor doing much in this tourney. He's been through his fare share of wars and he might be near shot now. That Froch loss must have taken a lot out of him and I can't see him getting pass the first round.

I hardly see how he is overatted, apart from me and Tam Seddon everybody seems to think he's losing to whoever he fights next.

He hasn't got anything like the credit he deserves and in Britain he's still an absolute unknown thanks to zero television coverage of his huge fight with Taylor.

He's underrated, everybody hates on him.
