The Super Six is not dead. Fact.

I made that post without seeing the fight. Going by the reports I thought Kessler was thrashed with Ward putting on a masterclass (). I've now seen the fight. It wasn't half as bad as most have made out.

I take back what I said.

Kessler wasn't humiliated just outhustled by a tricky faster guy on his home-turf. I wouldn't completely write Kessler off if they fought again.

The Super Six is still alive (just). Fact.

I think you should pick Kessler in the next prediction contest. I agree, he's a live dog.

I'm talking about if in Denmark (which is clearly never gonna happen).

You see that way when Jesus comes forward missing punches the judges and commentators wont be so influenced by the cheering home crowd.

that almost sounds like you're mocking the Son of God?

Anyway that will never happen since all American contestants will refuse to go to Europe after the Froch debacle, clearly the only fair thing to do is to have the fights in America, after all did you see the scorecards, where were all these rounds they found for Kessler? Its like they were consciously not trying to be as corrupt as the Euro judges and overcompensated.

[Fenster]

You mean as corrupt as the judges sent into Europe to judge. Not Euro judges. Yes we all know Amercians are scared to travel.

I'm not mocking Jesus. He's a class fighter. I don't mind a guy that has skill and knows how to play dirty. That's a good sign. Like Hopkins.

Rantcatrat, I love the Super Six. I'm just saying how it can't work not that I want it to fail.

Technicalities. At least one of the three judges brought in was bought off. Fact. The other was maybe a big fan of rabbit punches?

Roy Jones getting screwed in Korea means no U.S. fighter ever has to travel as you well know, Dirrell/Froch was just reinforcement for those that that must of forgot.

Ward-Froch would be like Hagler-Hearns for him

[hitmanhatton]

my only problem with this tournament is how they manage to keep it together, for example if dirrel is knocked out by abraham next round then why would he stick around for his 3rd fight, knowing he cant get through and facing a third straight loss, same with taylor, if he loses again, its too late to get a replacment for the last round of fights

[killersheep]

Everyone showed up for the first round so it's got farther than I expected.

I don't think it's dead at the are still many different styles to be matched. Nothing is a certainty at this point.

It's pretty cool when you can say 9 of the top 10 Super Middleweights have in their last fight or their next fight, fought another top 10 Super Middleweight.

going in US seem the only way to get a fair fight alllo wake up son, we just saw how "fair" was the referee during Kessler-Ward. ward was allowed to do whatever he wanted to do, clinch, headbutt, and so on....

Nobody finds it strange that a week ago all referees for the fights were US based ?? I mean common, it was not accidental at all.

a fair fight is either in Europe/US but with true neutral and impartial referees !!!!

I see your point, however, I disagree and I think that it doesn't kill the interest in the end: The thrill to me is not that much to know who will win the whole thing but to see the bests fighting the bests and not grossing their roster with some Zelenoff. Sure, to know who will win is a part of the whole fun but I appreciate even more to see all these different clash of style and of good boxers on such a short period of time, that is the big point of the tournament and it corrects something that MMA does and boxing didn't: loads of quality and meaningful matches to find out who is really the best.
At the end, even if Taylor would have go get out and be replaced by let's say Green or Lucian Bute, even if these two couldn't win the tournament because of the mathematical probabilities (i.e imagine that Abraham wins a second fight via K.O and that Ward wins his second contest too), wouldn't it be nice to see them step in with the best of the division too? I think it would be ecstatic, and that doesn't mean that they couldn't fight the winner or the top 2 of the tournament after it is finished.

Probably the same place press row found them. I had Kessler winning 5 & either 9 or 10 can't remember which. I'm with Fenster, Ward was very impressive but I think the crowd & Gus Johnson climbing up Ward's arsehole (surely a contravention of his religious beliefs ) meant that viewers had a different take.

I can't defend the Froch thing though, but I have to say last night has made me dislike Ward intensely. I'm just glad that him & Froch can't meet in the group stage, it means I get at least 4 more fights of wanting to watch them both get KO'd.
