Andre Ward is the American Saviour in the Super Six! He will win the Tournament!

I think the semi-finals (and finals) will be largely dependent on who the players are.

I am curious if Ward is going to have three home fights in Oakland.

I am not saying PH|LLA or the other guy is wrong, but that was never my understanding of how this works.

As far as I know, the location of Ward-Green is still TBD.

 

Are you are suggesting Kessler would have beaten Ward if this fight were in his hometown?

 

Ward will figure AA out.

I cannot envision a scenario that sees AA beating Ward.

Abraham gives too many early rounds away, and his counters and power won't bail him out late against an elite fighter like Ward.

Ward's toughest fight, style-wise, is Dirrell--but as I've mentioned, he will be damaged goods by the time he faces Ward.

I believe when all is said and done, Ward will be 5-0.

 

I think Ward proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Kessler's one-diminsional simplistic style is no match for him.

Fair enough, but I'm hard-pressed to see any disagreement here?

Ward dominated the fight, Kessler was unable to make adjustments, and that was all she wrote.

Kessler supporters have whined about holding and hitting, headbutts, etc.

Much ado about nothing.

That Ward is a seasoned vet who held and hit to his advantage (much like ring veteran Bernard Hopkins), that's a credit to him. He fights like a seasoned pro.

If they got broken apart earlier, Ward would still have had no problems outboxing him and outslicking him. Kessler simply had no plan B. Kessler was the one who looked like the inexperienced green fighter in the ring, not Ward.

The reality is, Kessler simply isn't as good as most people around here thought. Much of his reputation is based off his loss to Calzaghe, where he was soundly defeated.

Never a good sign.

I don't think it matters whether Kessler and Ward fought in California, Europe, Africa, or Antarctica. Ward is simply a cut above, and he already proved this.

 

Let me go on record now as in saying this:

If Kessler and Ward meet again in the semi-finals, Ward will be even more dominant next time around--regardless of where the fight takes place.

You are simultaneously overrating Abraham and underrating Ward.

I believe Kessler-Froch will be a very competitive, crowd-pleasing encounter and I look forward to seeing that one.

 

Kessler needs to beat Froch--and I think that's a winnable fight for Kessler.

If he loses to Froch, I think he is mathematically out of it, more or less.
