    Both fights are HUGE for several reasons. I myself see Froch-Dirrell having the more fireworks, bigger anticipation, higher intensity and creating the most buzz. What about you folks?

    Abraham-Taylor- i think this is the best fight in the first round of the tournament. This is a 50-50 in my opinion.

    Oops...how do I edit the title? I guess this thread title might make a little more sense in a few days from now. I must be trying to mentally fast forward.

    Froch-Dirrell

    I really have a feeling that Dirr could be the Upset of The Tourney

    JT/AA fight because i'm a big JT fan but the outcome of the Dirrell/Froch fight is more a question. JT is damaged goods. He should not even be in this tournament. But i'll be rooting for him.

    A month ago I was hearing none of that. The closer the fight gets, I hear more and more of it.

    Yeah I think Ward-Kessler is building up to be bigger than both of these. Just wait until the week leading up to it. Hell already broke loose on ESB after their last tune-up fights on the same night. Ward has already said that Kessler was smaller than he expected him to be after meeting him face to face.

    Both fights really are interesting, but I will go with Froch-Dirrell. Dirrell is green, speed, power, etc. he has the works. Froch is all heart, great chin, etc. This is going to make for a great fight I believe. I'm liking this over Abraham-Taylor because I think Taylor is shot now after two wars with Pavlik and one with Froch. I think he is done, but that's what makes this fight interesting as well. Is Taylor shot? Will Abraham be stronger at 168? Is he really a good/great fighter? Time will tell and I can't wait. Only one more week!

    Froch/Dirrel will probably be more exciting, but I like them both. I think Taylor is much better fighter than Dirrel.

    I didn't vote because I can't pick. Both are HUGE fights as far as I'm concerned. Easily the most important and interesting ones so far this year for me.

    Froch vs Dirrell for me. There are still a lot of question marks over the 2 and we should be in for a classic matchup.
