    Obviously unlikely to happen, but what if... Green was to outpoint Kessler and Ward beats Dirrell. We'd have a three way tie on 2 points (possibly 4if Abraham beats Froch). How would the qualifiers be decided? The only thing I could think of would be a head to head mini league, but even that wouldn't be fair on, say Dirrell, who hasn't fought either Kessler or Green so couldn't score any points off them. If it's a four way tie still wouldn't be fair on Dirrell who would only have fought one bout against the others (Green, Kessler, Froch) whilst) or Green likewise whilst Froch and Kessler have fought two).

    Any ideas?

    :huh

    good question. Maybe it will be determined by how many rounds each fighter won? Seems pretty fair if all the fights were 12 rounders

    it goes by

    Froch would always be ahead of Dirrell due to his win. Then it would go having the most KO's, then it would go to percentage of rounds won. So if Dirrell won 57/76 rounds and Green won 17/36 Dirrell would go through.

    an intresting thing is if Dirrell and Green lose, Froch and Abraham would already be in the next round.

    think it will come down to wins, KO's etc in the Super 6.

    something like goal difference in football.

    If you're right, that would mean Kessler will always be above Froch.

    And Green would be above Kessler.

    So we would have -

    Green
    Kessler
    ---------------------
    Froch
    Dirrell

    Is that right?

    Doesn't sound it to me.

    On the Super 6 website it just says "a tie break mechanism is in place". Which probably means "Showtime would try their hardest to get two Americans in".

    In that scenario, Froch has lost to Kessler, Dirrell lost to Froch, Froch will have lost to Abraham who Dirrell beat. So, I would guess Froch on form lines, but realistically, Dirrell I'd guess.

    However, I don't see Green beating Kessler. So, the two point tie will be between Froch and Dirrell, in which case Froch goes through because he beat Dirrell.

    If somebody loses 2 fights out of 3 they have no grounds to complain really.
