Dirrell could not get to semis

I'm not so sure there. Say Abraham loses to Froch, he'd have 3 points, then you could see Abraham eliminated if:

Ward beats Green and loses to Dirrell then Dirrell and Ward have 4 points to Abraham's 3.

Kessler beats Froch and Green then he has 4. Then if Froch beat Abraham he'd have 4 as well. So unless I've missed something then Abraham could be elimnated even if Green loses to Ward next.

 

This won't happen and I would even bet money on AA advance to semi-finals.

 

No too early, a win for Froch or Ward in the 2nd round will give them 100%.

 

If AA wins against Froch, no matter how, he'll advance to the semis.

 

Is it possible to have a dirrell\Froch final? that would be awesome, both would have a personal motive!

 

Kessler has made statements essentially to the point if he loses to Froch he is going to retire.

 

I would assume so.... but don't forget dirrell & ward will be facing off

aa has to face froch.... he could lose that.... that fight his going to be a barn burner

 

There is a tie-breaker mechanism in tact for the tournament but I dont know the details or if it has been announced. It appears as if 2 or more fighters could be tied at 2 at the end. If Froch loses his next 2. Dirrell loses to Ward. Green beats Kessler

 

I knew the answer...
Just pointing out how "Dirrel could not get to semis" is a bit ridiculous since no one is sure to get there anyway...

 

Froch will be stopped, probably the first time in his career. He has neither the footwork nor the skill-set of Dirrell. Froch is a tough nut to crack, but AA is the best "nut c r a c k e r" i can imagine. In addition AA will be pissed that he lost his "0". Of course, it's boxing and everything can happen, but like I said, I would even bet money on AA advancing to the semis.

First tiebreaker is head to head record, I remember that, so Froch definitely holds the tiebreaker over Dirrell.
