    Four months from now, we'll be talking about the finals.

    Let's hear about who you got in both, and how.
    _____________

    Ward vs Abraham

    -I see Ward working the jab in the first couple of rounds, stopping anything dangerous from AA with lightning fast right hands to the head followed by SOG specials (a.k.a. clinch). Ward may try to back Abraham off in the mid rounds applying more pressure, and I think that's where AA has a -very small- chance of ending it with a series of power shots. Abraham will probably give Ward a good run for 2-3 rounds, then get outhustled, outworked, outboxed until the final bell.

    Ward wide UD, 10 rounds to 2

    Froch vs Johnson

    -I think Johnson will come forward in the early rounds and win 2 out of the first 4, with Froch moving well enough to use the jab and set up the odd combination. Froch will then outwork Johnson, and win a couple of slugfests in the mid rounds. Overhand rights from Glen might shake him a little, making most of rounds 5 to 10 very hard to score. I see Froch coming out as the aggressor in the championship rounds, Johnson to try to keep the fight on the inside and clinch a lot.

    Froch SD in the US, Froch close UD (7-5) in the UK

    Hopefully enough people post their thoughts so the thread is worthy of a bookmark for post-semis purposes. :D

    Ward dominates Abraham
    Froch channels Chad Dawson from Dawson-Johnson 2 for the Johnson fight

    Ward uses his physicality to out wrestle Froch in the final.

    This may be a translation of what Andre Dirrell was trying to say on Tweeter...

    "u seen what me & froch done to Abraham, ward will do it too. And as far as froch when he beats glen. He won't have a strategy 4 AW"

    Ward schools Abraham.

    Froch beats Johnson by convincing unanimous decision. People are really overrating Johnsons chances here. It won't be majorly competitive IMO.

    Ward UD (120-108 or 119-109) against Abraham
    Froch by fairly close decision (116-112) versus Johnson that will cause a lot of controversy in the boards because Johnson gives Froch hell

    Ward UD against Froch but I don't know if it's gonna be wide or not. Kessler barely won a round against Ward but managed to Froch. Triangle theories are too unreliable to deliver a good prediction here but I believe Ward'll win.

    Ward-Abraham isn't even worth analyzing. Ward's in the finals.

    Froch-Johnson...that's a juicier morsel.

    i'm 100 % certain that ward is gonna get exposed as the american hype job he is. abraham will knock him out. and you know why, abraham had problems with froch, because froch has big power. abraham was going to stop dirrell, but dirrell had some power. now with ward, he has a lot of things, but he has zero power, so aa won't be afraif to completly open up and to attack him, ward can't change the fight with a shot, and aa knows it. especially ward likes to fight on the inside, and that is where he will get stopped. froch will ko johnson and beat aa in a very close fight in the final. after that froch is gonna ko bute and will win against kessler the rematch. and i'm not even a froch fan

    Ward and Froch to make the finals.

    I'm still not sold on Ward so i'm picking Froch to stop him late.

    Ward goes Neck to Neck with Abraham. Expect a though fight but clear victory for Ward.
    Froch has some trouble with Johnson but gets a comfortable decision.
    Ward UD Froch <--- Not a prediction, im just rooting for Ward

    By the way, this is the Super Six so anything can happen. Might end up with Abraham and Johnson in the finals. :nut:nut
