Super 6 Tiebreaking Rules?

[Rantcatrat]

Who knows?

Also, why wouldn't Showtime want Froch to win against Kessler? Who's more appealing to the Americans, some guy from a country most couldn't place on the right side of the continent or a dumb yet fairly exciting Brit. What is their motivation for conspiring to kick Froch out?

You're attitude is why good ideas don't last in boxing.

Why dont we just say if we are gonna have a fair non-biased competition such as this we will hold every single fight in neutral venues thus ensuring that the real winner will provail every time

the current super 6 reads;
ward 3
abraham 3
Froch 2
kessler 2
Dirrell 2
green 0

had the results of been fair it would now read:

abraham 5
froch 4
kessler 2
ward 0
green 0
dirrell 0

see how the american thing comes into play

First, Ward only has 2 points, not 3.

You are wrong about two things. One, the pre-tournmanet favorite was Kessler, not Froch. Go back and check the odds. Kessler was the most marketable and well-known (other than Taylor) fighter going into the tournament.

Second, the toughest schedule is by far that of the Americans, Taylor/Green, with fights against the three toughest challengers and all on their opponent's turf. Taylor/Green fights Abraham (in Germany)/Ward (in Oakland)/Kessler (in Denmark), which is tougher than Froch's Dirrell (In Nottingham), Kessler (Denmark), Abraham (in Neutral Territory).

Third, Abraham had the weakest schedule with Taylor (in Germany)/Dirrell (In Michigan)/Froch(in Neutral Territory).

Lastly, either way you look at it, the Froch-Dirrell fight was very close. Yet, Froch got the win!! If this was some American Showtime conspiracy, Dirrell would have got a win in a close fight. Correct?

Showtime is in this for profit. Do you really think Ward/Dirrell are the most profitable fighters in the tournament? By far, the two most profitable fighters in the tournament are Kessler and Abraham. It's not even close.

One more thing, You don't think Abraham should have been DQ'd?

If there is anything conspiratorial in this tournament, it is that the hometown fighter wins every time.

Froch is only 10 seconds (against Taylor) away from having lost 3 in a row

I was at that fight and I'm telling you that is totally wrong. After approximately the seventh round, there was a huge momentum swing and the you could feel it was just a matter of time before Froch got to him.

As much as you want to say Froch lost against Dirrell, if there is a reason Dirrell wound up with a loss, it's his fault. Much like Froch said after he lost to Mikkel, Dirrell just didn't do enough. In a fight against a champion on his home turf, you have to win convincingly.

Very true..

and even with that 'momentum swing' to froch, the judges cards STILL had Taylor winning even with that knockdown in the last round before the KO.. so regardless of momentum, which means nothing on a score card, if Taylor didn't get KO'd that really was 3 fights Froch was on the verge of losing..

as i said before this past weekends fight, Froch is very beatable, and for HTH to say he's the best super middle of the last decade or whatever, is ridiculous..

Well said rant

froch took at least 2 of the opening 6 and the complete second half of that fight

Dont get me wrong i only carl a point up going into the last round and wouldnt of cried foul had that of been a mandatory 10-9 taylor last round.

But world championship boxing in this day and age is a 12round affair and if you arent able to manage that it doesnt matter what you do in the 1st 11

Thank Christ someone said it.

I actaully throught Froch had the toughest draw.

Abraham and Kessler are the two toughest and Dirrell is a spolier.

Froch won all day long against Dirrell, without a shadow of a doubt, but was never going to be a convincing win because of Dirrells tactics.


Does anyone have/ can put up the fixtures of each fighter? I'm curious now to see who has been fighting who.

Froch was severely outpointed, outboxed and outclassed... I don't see how HThomo could possibly saw Froch leading on points by any mean
