Quite simply who wins the super 6 & why ???

Abraham - Froch has only one winner, the fans ! Absolute FotY material.

 

I wonder what the odds are of Kessler winning the tournament and going through undefeated?

I'd be happy to lay some cash on that sort of thing. (Not much cash though, I don't bet as a rule)

 

Kessler: this is going to be a career defining event for Mikkell.

Froch: He might lose to Dirrell, is two classes below Kessler, he's so easy to hit that if he has to fight AA he will get knocked the Froch out.

Abraham: His resume' says his style and technics only work on winos and cab drivers. Froch is the only guy I would bet on him to beat.

Ward and Dirrell: to damn green to be in this situation.

Taylor: It's hard to put much faith in JT right now, but if he isn't ruined, he has the skills to do really well in this.

 

I have recently viewed a few of Andre Ward's fights, and I really like what I see. He is as close to a complete fighter in this tournament than anyone. He has great lateral movement, he's fast on his feet and with his hands, has pop on his punches, solid defence, great stamina, showed a great chin in the Miranda fight, effective with the ambidextrous style, he adjust well to diff styles in the ring, has a great pedigree with all of the amatuer exp and hasnt been beaten since he was 14 years old!

On top of all of this, he has a great mental approach. He cant be shaken by opponents like miranda trying to get into his head.

 

Im looking forward to seeing what the new upcomers Ward and Dirrel can do in this tourney. I can see them really shine and become superstars, but its also possible that these tourney is 2,3 years too early for them. We will see.

 

Kessler kills these guys easily

 

Here are the latest odds

Froch 7/4 fav
Kessler 7/2
Abraham 5/1
Taylor 10/1
Ward 14/1
Dirrell 14/1

 

You can get 5/2 on Froch with Skybet.

If I was looking for a value bet I think I'd go with Abraham, but if it was a gun to my head it would be Kessler. Where did you see the 7/2 on Kessler?....that seems good value.

 

His weaknesses are by design. He's the best fighter in the tournament and I'm picking him to win it.

 

He is not disrespectful. He always talks highly of fighters, aside Calzaghe, who is a **** to Froch so froch is a **** back. He even said he was a Taylor fan before the fight and admired his wins over Hopkins.:good

 

Obvious choice is Kessler. I think Ward is the best bet for a "surprise" winner. They are all interesting fights though.

 

Kessler gets to much love on ESB. He was less competiative in defeat against JC than Reid, Eubank (shot), Bika and BHOP (old). I am rolling wit Froch simple because he is absolute warrior in the ring.

 

I love this tournament because there are such a clash of different styles.
Dirrel looks blindingly fast with his hands. Abraham has that annoying but until now, effective defence. Froch is slow but tough as nails... I´m looking forward to seeing what style will prevail. Will it be Kessler whom I believe has the best allround boxing abilities or will it be a type like Froch who will wear everybody down? I can´t wait.
My pick is Kessler, closely followed by Dirrel. Abraham and Froch as outsiders.
But I could be wrong.....
Let´s get it on!
