AA's future in the Super 6

[erics44]

If Arthur Abraham drops out then the Super Six has been a gigantic failure in my eyes. Of course, many of us suspected as much in the begining. It's too harsh a sport to make a long term scheme like this pan out.

A few great fights is fine, but as a wound wobin (Kripke) it's proved itself garbage.

the format was daft which has taken something way from it

it hasnt been a failure tho, we have had

AA v Taylor, Froch v Dirrell, Ward v Kesser, Froch v Kessler, AA v Dirrell, Froch v AA

thats 6 fights between the best supermiddles in the world, when have we had that before?

It has helped Froch/Ward fight the best fighters in the division and gain some credibility.

I agree. You have had some very good fights in this tournament. Sure a lot of the guys dropped out, but before that the boxing fans also saw a lot of quality matchups, that to me isn't a failure.

I thought there were big penalty clauses in the contracts for anyone who tried to pull out?

None of these guys seem to be paying any attention to that.

Yes I remember in the first Fight Camp episode they said it would be career suicide for any boxers that chose to pull out without good reason due to the penalty sanctions.

Unless he's injured, in which case he just needs to give Dr. Shaw-Hi a call and he'll be ready to go in 6 months

I suppose in a sense the tournament has been a failure. Maybe it was too much of an ask to expect everything to run smoothly and for all boxers to stay in the competition and avoid injury when matched with the best in the division fight after fight. The tournament has almost become meaningless due to most of the boxers dropping but we've seen a lot of match-ups that just wouldn't have happened had it not been for it. I think they should just wash their hands of it and put Ward and Froch in the final. Learn from the mistakes made and come back with something that's more sustainable. Ultimately the tournament has been a failure but it's provided fights we wouldn't have seen and in my opinion that can only be a positive.
