Now before I start let me just say I want to see Bute fighting the best and will be nice to see him in the Super Six , but that doesn't make me to wish for bad things to happen to those guys. I'm just presenting the possibility's and ask of you what you guys think will happen with the tournament if any of these scenarios take place. Ward vs Bika We all know Bika is a dirty fighter. He uses his elbows his head and recently he has been DQ for being carried away with his offensive against a Mendy who put he's kneel down on canvas. An injury can always occur. Froch vs Abraham. Even tho Froch has a KO% of 74.07 the last time he Ko'ed someone was in his first defense against Taylor ,a Taylor that wasn't an established elite Super Middleweight and that Ko came mostly because Taylor's lack of stamina. It's hard for me to believe that Froch will Ko Abraham in such a way that it will result in an injury that will take him out for a longer period so it will be impossible to recover until the semifinals. The only way I see Froch winning by Ko is if Abraham start's to eager and to early and the fight turns to be very intensive resulting in stamina contest witch personally i think Froch will win and have the chance to a late Ko\Tko. Even if Froch doesn't win via brutal ko any injury(shoulder-Pascal/Marquez) or another kind broken cheekbone etc ... they can still occur. Abraham can at anytime brutally Ko Froch resulting in a bad injury. I don't think Abraham or Froch will play the "injury card". Froch not long ago said : "The next fight [Abraham] is all or nothing for me. If it doesnt go my way, I will seriously consider retirement" The reason I think he will not retire is that if he loses to AA he will have a rematch in the Semifinals.A chance that he didn't had against Kessler.That might motivate him not to do so. Abraham is a crazy mofo and i think he has no though whatsoever of pulling out of the tournament. Ward has a champion mentality ..but it is a small possibility of him saying pass to the semifinals and final(especially if his opponent in the semifinals isn't Johsnon) in order to get to the final showdown, against Bute or the winner of the tournament. What do you guys think will happen , witch route will Ken take if The Super Six will suffer another blow and 1 of the fighters will pull out with a legitimate injury or from desire to retire/get to the mega-fights of the division with out any more risk's? Do you think they will give a bye to the fighter that remained without opponent. Do you think they'll bring Bute in , or the whole tournament will reach an end and Showtime will just make some matches out of the tournament with the fighters that have contract's with. (Bute/Froch/Ward/Johnson/Abraham etc) ?
I think after Abraham KO's Froch, that the Cobra will drop from the tournament stating he needs more time to recover. It'd be nice if Dirrell then stepped back in for a rematch with Abraham, but that's real unlikely. I think Showtime would do best by having Abraham vs Johnson with Ward vs Bute, and then the winners -- Abraham-Bute(and why not the losers too -- Ward-Johnson). Bute fights in March, if it's not as Froch's fill in, will it be against Stieglitz?
At the Las Vegas press conference they said that the March date can be changed it's not a certain thing. And Stieglitz refused 2 offers from Bute at least 1 was very good. i can't imagine what has changed that will make him take the fight now(maybe Showtime is offering an bigger payday ).I hope it is Stieglitz because he is the only good opponent left.
I'm hoping for forch to survive the late rounds and win an absolute war by clocse decision thus setting up an amazing semi-final rematch
The dude just won't go away.Perhaps the Pikey from Romania will fight him in March and shut Green down,once and for all.
