The Super Six: Europe will win 3-0

[blegit]

I think the U.S. gets 2-1 the first round. I see Dirrell outboxing Froch. This one should be the thriller. I know people want to see it one way as Froch was able to breakdown a veteran like Taylor then he should a fresh pup like Dirrell. But I see it this way, if a non pure boxer can outbox Froch for 11 rounds then a super pure boxer like Dirrell should have his time as long as he continues to fight smart. Dirrell is a much better boxer than Taylor and as long as he boxes and has great conditioning then he should be victorious. Taylor/Abraham that will probably go Abraham. I just think Taylor is war ridden and is now unsure of himself when in trouble. He has no plan adjustment when he is in trouble. That concerns me against a guy like Abraham. Ward/Kessler should be the most artistic of the first round. Both guys are very technical but I see Ward's athleticism edging this one. This is the one I had the most time picking a winner. A very good matchup in my opinion. But for Kessler to win he will have to put a lot more pressure on than what he has been doing in recent fights. I respect everyone's honest opinion but no way do I see a clean sweep by Europe. Actually neither hemisphere should sweep the round. If Taylor can get his act together then maybe the U.S. sweeps the first round. I hope anyway.

Sorry my man I think Dirrell will pick apart Froch. Taylor is up in the air and Kessler Ward well let's just say the winner will win this tournament which I think will be Kessler by far.

[No Contest]

Dirrell wins this whole thing.

There are no clear favorites here IMO; even if Dirrell is not enough tested at pro he has all the tools to outpoint Froch, we really don’t know if he can take Cobra’s punches but we also don’t know if Carl can land something meaningful on him; I think Andre has a better stamina and mostly a better mobility and he can resist 15 seconds more than Taylor.

I kknow that Ward hasn’t Kessler’s resume but he’s faster, like Dirrell he can box either orthodox either southpaw and we saw in Miranda fight that he can come with a very intelligent strategy; I know Miranda is not Kessler but I think Andre will try to fight like Calzaghe in the second half of his fight against Kessler: Pressure, hit and hold.

I agree Abraham has the first chance in the fight against Taylor, let just see how good he is at SM.

It’s obvious that all tree Europeans are more powerful that the Americans but this is not decisive IMO.
