Super Six final table

No idea, wouldn't surprise me if Showtime fixed it to avoid Froch-AA II :yep

 

Johnson took Kessler's scorecard points as he was his replacement

 

seems like the fairest way to me. will always get complicated beyond points and KO's

 

Aye, but even avoiding all the complicated ****, surely Johnson should have finished above Abraham anyway based simply on...

Johnson won 1, 1 ko
Abraham won 1, 1 ko, 2 losses

 

true but the arguement would be if Johnson had faced Dirrell and Froch would he have won?

For me the only person to have earned there place with 3 tough fights, which is how it was advertised has be Froch.

 

He didn't though, did he? I see what your point is, but for me, whether he'd have won or not is irrelevant, it's not Johnson's fault he didn't get to fight them. He won the fight put in front of him.

It's a tricky situation though, to be honest Showtime could have manoeuvured it however they wanted so it doesn't neccesarily matter.

And your spot on about Froch in your last point.

 

to be fair its always complicated when it comes down to stuff like this. but yeah hes right what he saying!

Well i think showtime like everyone else were expecting Froch vs AA to be a quality fight which was close. If Froch had won the fight 9-3 on the cards there would have been a rematch. So it had been set up for them to rematch.

The real shame is that if Kessler had stayed in and beaten Green, we would of seen Kessler vs Froch rematch. Bit of a shame.

perfect scenario for me now is.

Mar 2011 - Froch beats Johnson in Nottingham
Oct 2011 - Froch beats Ward in Vegas
Feb 2012 - Froch beats Bute in New York
Sep 2012 - Froch beats Kessler in London
Jan 2013 - Froch beats Pascal in Canada

 

has soon as i heard about this rule that's what i thought.

and it probably is the reason really.

 

To be honest, even if they had to contradict the rules; we were never going to see Froch/AA 2. Like you said previously, I'm happy about having two fresh fights, no matter what the previous ruling meant.

 

I may have dreamt this but weren't showime pushing for 2 Semi's in March & a June final in NYC?

 

Yeah think so, they dont want it dragging on too much longer.

Guessing the semis will be a double-header in America somewhere then the final in the garden.

Hope so, already saving up the trip for the final against Ward.
