I think Ward will pull this one off maybe disputedly.

Kessler KO...late rounds. Too much power.
Cleverly, Brook, Mitchell, McCloskey, Walsh, Dickinson, Macklin, Barker. Murray, Khan, Moore, Lindsay, Munroe...the Brits are coming baby!! Hidden Content Hidden Content
Ward can't punch. It's actually one of his flaws. Although Kessler hasn't been sparked, I'm not sure Ward is the one to do it unless it is from an accumulation of punches.
Why didn't Dirrell get the nod if the USA v. Europe rivalry is one of the big selling points? Abraham had already knocked Taylor out by the time of the Froch fight.
The top European, the boxer most pick as the favorite of the tournament, is the first European to fight on American shores in the tournament. Not the best way to salvage an American win in the first round. If this was some conspiracy and they were setting up an American win, wouldn't they have had Froch heading to Oakland and Dirrell fighting Kessler in Denmark?
I tip my hat to Kessler. He is the champion and is heading half-way across the globe to Ward's hometown to defend his belt. Props. That said, I'm sure it is because he is confident he'll win. Otherwise, he'd demand his first fight to be in Copenhagen or Germany.
"...went 12 rounds with Ali, and never took a backwards step."
Ward has a world of talent but I originally picked Kessler to win the whole thing & I'm sticking by that. Kessler in a very close fight!
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
I agree with you, unlike most, that this fight will be very close. I am going with Ward but Kessler is the man of the division so its not wholehearted that I go with Ward. I actually wish this was the final. I guess that speaks volumes how great this Super Six tournament is...a first round fight like this.
BUMP!
All of your picks/predictions were so horrible- U guys couldn't even give Andre his due.
Classic thread of a whole site that got it wrong!!! Hahaahaaahaa!!!!!!
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
Surely a weird thread to bump and gloat over, most people anywhere got this one wrongYou didn't even post here at this point SlimTrae, how does anyone know you picked Ward?
Kessler had been in great form only losing a competitive fight to Calzaghe, while Ward had fought nobody and was given more trouble prior to this than he has since... I know I had him being hurt against Darnell Boone in my mind before this one, I thought it was to much of a step up for Ward.
