WTF? Is this some sort of joke? Glen Johnson replacing Kessler in the super six?

This is a Super Middelweight tournament. Not Light Heavyweight. Johnson ain't made 168 in 10 muthafukkin years. I doubt he can make it. I doubt this fight happens

Exactly. What a crock of shit.

Johnson, if he makes it, is going to drag his old ass into the ring so fucking weight-drained that he won't be able to hang with Allan fucking Green. He'll get KO'd within 6 rounds.

It would be a fucking ludicrous situation if Green somehow made it into the semi-finals instead of Froch or Dirrell because of this.

The ultimate irony for seen everything "Road warrior". He's being brought in for his name and visability....and I dont think it comes off unless they do a bullshitz catch weight. Frankly....he does deserve it more than Green who's 15 minutes off last 'effort' is running 14 too long for me.

This is just a money maker for the organisers. If they just skipped straight to the semis they would lose out on money that the next 2 fights would generate. It is just boxing politics winning over common sense again. And to think how excited by this tournament most of us were in the beginning

As for Johnson, I think he probably could make weight if he does it gradually enough, he's not a huge LHW really, then again he's very old by boxing terms but I'd still bet on him battering Green even if he is weight drained!

Actually I think Show Time would love to say "fuck you Green" and just go on to the next round. But they can't. The signed contracts they used against Ward and Dirrell would without a doubt be used against them. Green despite being a replacement, coming off a loss and just plainly being unworthy is technically still alive. The four guys most likely to move forward are Ward, Dirrell, Froch and Abraham, anyway, but Green does have a shot. If Ward beats Dirrell and Green scores a knockout win against someone, Green will move on and Dirrell will be out. It makes sense from Green's perspective to stay in and go for a knockout against a replacement opponent, because there's big money waiting in the semifinals and finals.

Oh shit and that's completely possible! I mean if he gets Bika, and he KO's Bika, he has more points then the guy who fought Froch, Abraham and Ward That's nuts. Crazy to think about.

Shame it has ended like this... wouldn't supprise me if Robin Reid ends up winning the whole thing
