    How so? Taylor was a couple of mins away from surviving against AA and Froch is a much harder nut to crack.

    I don't think so

    Beside Kessler - Froch this should the the best fight of the super six group stage

    In my opinion Kessler is still he best in the tournament.
    He has a very bad night vs Ward and he wasn't expecting that dirty style from Ward.
    Hes was a little out of shape too.

    I'm sure that Kessler beats Green.

    Abraham has never faced an puncher like Froch
    I'm an Abraham fan but Froch will be his toughest opponent so far
    this could be a very great fight

    ward has gone from rank outsider to favourite in one fight. the question is has kessler become as bad as he looks (he hasn't fought top opposition since calzaghe) or is ward that good and made kessler look that bad. I think kessler has detoriated and ward although obviously good, is getting overrated, i think both froch and AA knock ward out if they were to meet.

    Abraham fought Miranda twice and he fought Eastman, so you might want to reconcider that :huh

    Yes he has, Miranda is a hard puncher.

    froch is not that big puncher. he is a volume puncher, who has no defense, and wins because of his will and determination. i can't see froch surviving 6 rounds with abraham, froch will try to pressure aa and have his chin wide wide open, and his chin is far away from iron, it's decent. and aa will connect for sure a couple of times, so my prediction is aa by brutal ko

    Taylor fought a very cautious fight and doesn't rely on his chin as his first and last line of defense. Froch will be eating many shots that Taylor did not.

    What's with all the people picking Dirrell over Abraham? Abraham didn't fight for 30 seconds a round against Taylor, his offensive output was much greater and over longer stretches often lasting the majority of the round. Abraham is faster, harder hitting, and more skilled than Froch, so what am I missing?

    As for my predictions.

    Abraham vs Dirrell- Abraham by mid to late (T)KO
    Froch vs Kessler- Froch by Decision
    Ward vs Green- Ward by TKO

    Abraham vs Froch- Abraham by (T)KO
    Kessler vs Green- Kessler by late TKO
    Ward vs Dirrell- Ward by UD

    End up with Abraham vs Kessler and Ward vs Froch in the semis

    Abraham by stoppage over a faded Kessler

    Ward by decision over Froch

    Final is Abraham vs Ward, winner is Abraham.

    Dirrell is immensely talented, but mentally incomplete. If he learns from his mistakes in the Froch fight, namely his lack of aggression and the ugliness of the middle rounds, then he certainly has the talent to beat Abraham, or anyone else at 168. He's got an advantage over Abraham in both reach and handspeed and if he doesn't get caught in any of Abraham's traps he could walk away with a decision.

    That said, I don't think he will because I don't think he will have matured enough as a fighter between his last fight and this one.

    That's the truth up there, and, frankly, I get wet down there thinking about someone hurting Froch.
