    Ward-Bika is official but it is a non-tournament fight. Ward had already qualified for the semis and he has been given another two "forfeit points" after Dirrell pulled out.

    That means Froch and AA are also both deffo in the semis. However if AA wins by KO he comes 1st and if Froch wins he'll come 2nd meaning he'll avoid Ward in the semi.

    The winner of Green-Johnson will get the 4th semi spot.

    As far as I'm aware...nothing :lol:

    He'll be WBA champion but Ward-Bika is not classed as a Super Six fight. Ward will still be in the semis and whilst Bika won't be in the tournament he'll have a belt.

    As far as the tourney goes nothing, Bika-Ward isn't part of the Super 6.

    Yeah, he would. The title is on the line for Bika-Ward. WBC would be the only belt left in the tournament.

    It would put a real shitter on things if Bika somehow managed to win/

    They've been crafty ****ers giving Ward those 2 forfeit points. It makes sure AA-Froch is still worth winning in the context on the tournament.

    Well i suppose that kinda clears things up a little bit as 3 of the originals through to the semis but still seems a bit funny. Can't wait for this tournament to sort itself out now and get back to boxing i just want to see some good matchups

    I'd hope so. The Super 6 (hoipefully) isn't above the normal rules of boxing.

    If Ward comes top and Green gets the 4th spot who would want to see Ward-Green II?! :nut

    well, ward-bika...good...
    but, it could be that the winner of the super six wont be the best in the division...and thats ok....as long as they dont try and say that the winner is definetly best in the division, if it works out like that..
