What if Pascal had entered the Super6 instead of Taylor?

    I think he would have beaten Abrahams and I think he would have been a real contender for the title.

    Thoughts?

    I'm pretty certain he had trouble making 168.

    I also think, hittable as he is, that Abraham woulda taken him out.

    I can't see a better final that Ward vs Abraham, especially if theyre both still undefeated. If he implements a steady workrate and a good gameplan, I think Dirrell can coast past King Arthur, he just makes too many mistakes IMO and his corner are poor, I see Arthur pushing him towards a big shot and getting him out of there.

    Froch is tailor made for Abraham. Comes forward, fairly Ponderous, no defence. Abraham will take Froch out IMO.

    I actually see it the other way round.

    I think Abrahams is taylor made for Froch. I don't think he will be able to handle the pace that Carl will set. He won't be able to take the breathers that he does on the ropes. Also I have always suspected that the way to get to AA is to nail him to the body hard and often. Carl will do this in a relentless fashion. Ultimately I think Carls size and conditioning will win the fight for him. With a bit of luck AA will beat Dirrell first to give the win more kudos, but I have a funny feeling Dirrell may snatch a points decision.

    However you see it these Super6 fights are definately interesting.

    Froch will land on Abrahams guard I reckon. At some poit he's gonna overreach or step in whilst holding Abraham round the back of the head, and that's when one of Arthurs deceptively fast bombs is gonna put Frochy out.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a Froch fan, the dirrell-froch post-fight interview proves that much, but Abraham is a bad match-up for The Cobra.

    A couple of injuries and a pullout has obviously effected it but I still think it provides interesting matchups. Plus no bull-**** defences.

    Will, agree with you 100% regarding the Super Six. I'd have preferred Bika but if Allan Green gives it a go he'll at least make it interesting. Ward vs Dirrell down the line is intriguing as well.

    Man Pascal :patsch How overrated can this guy get. He's a great athlete he's not a great boxer. Being outboxed by Froch is not some great achievement like people make out.
