This is how i think the first stage of the super six will finish. Ward 6pts Beats Green and Dirrel on points Abraham 6 pts Knocks out Froch Kessler 4 pts Beats Froch and Green on points Froch 2 pts Dirrel 2 pts Green 0 pts If this is how it plays out Dirrel will go out due to his close loss to Froch.
I can second that, except for the Ward - Dirrell fight. I think that Dirrell wins the fight if he is as good as he was against Abraham. I really have to praise him for that performance. It was awesome.
If Dirrell puts on a performance like he did with AA, he'll beat Ward. In fact I think he'll beat Ward if he puts in even a slightly worse effort. Dirrell came on a HUGE amount from the Froch fight to the Abraham fight. If he's not ruined by the DQ KO then he'll take Ward imo. I really have to say it again, Dirrell came on leaps and bounds from the Froch performance, he added so much more to his game, his body work was superb, his punches were far more authoritative, he was mixing it up, using excellent angle,s great movement etc. If he rematched Froch he'd beat him handily.
I think the Kesler Froch matchup provides the best fight possible and Green and Dirrel dont make it in Froch and Kessler are on the fence
It'll be interesting to see how Dirrell recovers from this "DQ" win over Art Abe..... Dirrell was concussed and confused like a baby racoon during the aftermath.... This will be a true test of his willpower and psych...... I've seen fighters literally go to hell over night in fights (Dirrell-Abe) like these........ I'm not bullshitting, either....... MR.BILL
It's not written in stone who beats who look at Douglas-Tyson. This is what I love about boxing anything can happen and the winner isn't decided before the bout.(Wink Wink)
Does it? If Kessler KOs Froch he gets 3 points. Froch remains on 2. If Froch then loses to AA he's out. Kessler beats Green he either gets 2 or 3 points, brining him to 5 or 6.
Dirrell might beat Ward or might not. I don't think he can even come close to duplicating what he did against AA against AW (two completely different animals). Dirrell's needless loss to FK is killing him right now.
I think Dirrell gets to a fourth seed, here is how I have it playing out 1.) Ward 6 pts 2.) Froch 6 pts 3.) Abraham 3 pts 4.) Dirrell 2 pts Out of Tourney Kessler 0 pts Green 0 pts I think Froch is going to stun the world by beating both Kessler and Abraham, he knows that he has an excellent shot at overtaking Joe Calzaghe in historic rankings should he win the Super Six and that will motivate him to pull off a great tournament run eventually running into Andre Ward in an MSG Final.
