But I wouldn't be suprised if they "fix" it so that there is at least a chance of an American fighter in the final: This doesn't bother me that much as it is a "soft fix" and they are the ones paying for it.

So, I expect Abrahams to face Kessler in one of the semis and Ward to face either Dirrell or Froch (I still think Froch will only pick up two points, but I can only see Dirrell getting two also; does this mean Froch qualifies because he beat Dirrell?)

Now, Ward v Froch should be a good fight with Ward being a strong favourite, mainly due to the fact that Froch will probably be coming in off two defeats: So Andre advances.

Kessler v Abrahams will probably go one of two ways; Kessler be decision or Abrahams by KO. I pick Kessler but Abrahams has a huge chance; and a decision in his favour is not out of the question either.

Ward will be fresher going into the final as he will have had the easiest passage but he still loses comfortably.

I'm sticking with Kessler.
They have said the top ranked fighter will fight the fourth place and the 2nd and 3rd each other.

Extra points scored for knockout will count I imagine.

What I'm interested in is if the 1st fighter gets home advantage against the 4th and the 2nd against the 3rd. Seems fair, but of course that word is not known in boxing.
