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

[Fenster]

wow. that sucks for the tournament.

i think i'm the only person here that liked the idea of having a tournament where one loss doesn't eliminate you. i guess that at the end of the day, it is too difficult to pull off. its a bummer, i wonder if the froch/abraham fight will go on as planned.

You've finally got it

Even if the Super 8 (and counting...) doesn't come to completion, look at the division rankings before the tournament and after. They're completely different, it gave us at least 5 matchups of top 10 super middleweights facing each other. That's pretty cool.

It looks like Dirrell will have to retire because of the Abraham punch? That's what the article made it sound like. Damn, and look how many people thought he was faking it.

I completely agree. People are hating on the Super Six. That's dumb. It's commendable of Showtime to have made the effort. They were able to get multiple promoters with different agendas to come to the table and create a tournament pitting the best 6 super middleweights against each other. I wish HBO were as adventurous.
