    Thats right fellas, Ward is about to be champ with only 20 fights!! To me Kessler is the best at 168, but I really think the layoff might hurt him. plus fighting in OKland (and I dont even know if Kessler has ever fought in america) hes gonna have to beat the breaks off of Ward if he thinks his getting a decision. Yes Ward has not really been tested but Miranda is no cupcake at all and he bascially lost 11-1. Kessler did have trouble with them straight lefts from Calzaghe, now I know Ward is not the ATG Calzaghe, but hes has power in both hands and swicthing from southpaw to conventional stance. I think Ward pulls it off and starts this tourney right!! the best thing about this tourney is, Kessler can get that belt back if he loses. Ward can end up losing to Forch and Kessler beats Forch to be unfied champ.

    ALL I know is I think Ward has a great shot to beat Kessler and if he does, it would make this tourney even better then it is. Ward NEW WBA SMW champ!!! what do you guys think?

    Well Ward has been badly hurt and knocked down by far lesser fighters than he is fightn in the tournament. I mean guys like AA and Kessler that hit hard as hell can box and have not been hurt like Ward has says alot. Ward is a good fighter. He is just gonna hurt or outbox these guys man. AA will hurt him with right straights and left hooks. Kessler is a great boxer with real power. His jab is fast and crisp. Fast powerful right hands and uppercuts good defense and footwork.

    Man, the bloke has had long lay-offs before so it's nothing new to him. Personally, I don't think he's gonna show too much ringrust.

    Well, you're some distance away from where I am, mate. The logistics of me being your slave could be an inherent problem.

    its a round robin tourney not an elmaintation. so all 6 of these guys ill fight each other once and by the point system they pick 4 to go to the semis. I think a win is 2 pts, a draw is 1 pt
