Dirrell withdraws from Ward fight, might be out of Super 6

[killersheep]

So this means Green is in the Semi-Finals! Hell yeah!

I give Showtime credit for trying, and we did get some memorable fights out of it. (Be it for the right or wrong reasons).

Looking forward a simple 4 man tournament would have been the way to go, 2 rounds and done. An 8 man tourney would take too long as well IMO a tourney like this should be no longer than a year long for christ's sakes.

How would it? 8 man knock out event would be 7 fights, we would just of been waiting for the final coming round now instead we are still waiting for the third stage of the super 6 then the semis and the final.

Johnson/Green has been signed for November the 6th so Green is not threw to the semi-final. Showtime are saying Ward might fight someone outside the Super Six on the 26th November and then it will be basically a shoot out between Green and Johnson to make the semi's.

8 men would be 3 rounds, which as you said we are still waiting on the third round now. The first fights happened almost exactly a year ago already. My opinion is that a tournament should not take longer than a year. The winner gets an entry into the next tourney.................

We are talking about a 8 man knock event, well that is the general consensus on here meaning.

Round one four fight quater finals.
Round two two fight semi finals
Round three the final.

Meaing this event we would be waiting for the winner in the next few weeks, that would of been ideal.

starting with 6 would be alright then the best loser would have another chance in the semis

funnily enough the semis would have been ward froch abraham and dirrell

although dirrell should really be band from boxing

[chinchekked]

I don't know all the details so I might be outta line when I say this but.......Yo do u smell something.........Yo I definitely smell something. I smell..I smell.. I smell pu$$y! LOL

i think the last good tournement was the HBO heavyweight unification tournament with tyson tucker douglas & a few other heavys?

[superheavyrhun]

Ok, so from what I see everyone pretty much agrees that the Super Six wasn't so super after all.

My suggestions for it's rechristening would be:-

Substitute Six, Six on the Beach, Stumbling Six, Shabby Six.

Any improvement on those?

And in terms of the layout of the tournament, to expect a league system as was put in place to go without injuries, withdrawals etc was just naive, but with so many subs it just seems a little empty.

I really doubt Dirrell is 'ducking' Ward or afraid to fight. He's a prize-fighter, he's not going to give up a massive payday because he's suddenly become afraid. This speculation about him being a coward is pretty ridiculous IMO.

[armin]

Oh I wasn't saying he's scarred of getting in there with ward, after all I'm pretty sure abraham punches harder than ward. I was just thinking its kind of fishy to wait 6 months basically to come public with this, I think it's more due to the fact that ward and dirrell are basically buds and don't want to get in the ring with each other. On the other hand tho this might be completely legit, but I hope not because that would be horrible especially for something that shouldn't have happened in the first place.

No one in their right mind would cost themselves millions of dollar and put their career in jeopardy just because they didn't want to fight a friend. They're prize-fighters, it's their job, and while I suspect they may have had a shit fight (as friends have in the past), I have no doubt that Dirrell's neurological issues are legitimate.
