    If that happens then Pavlik will most likely go for Mora since Perdomo isn't an established name in the US and Perdomo hasn't fought/beat McKart or Zuniga.

    What happens after the first three fights, there will be 3 fighters left.

    Who becomes the odd man out for the next round ? , or will they introduce a 4th fighter in the second round ? :huh

    ****ing awesome man. This is a dream tourney in many ways. With Mayweather/Marquez and Cotto/Pac coming up, what else could a boxing fan want?

    I wouldn't worry about the timings in Nottingham.

    I can't stand Froch but won't be surprised to see him put a show on against Dirrell for the home fans and have this one over and done with in 3 rounds.

    Dirrel won't make it beyond half way, that much I am certain of. I suspect the real Carl Froch will turn up for this one, and thats very bad news for Dirrell.

    Then I guess they would have to get Bute or Andrade to take his place, :yep lets hope it don't happen though.

    Definitely. Any single one of the three would pretty much have made my year. They would have been the highlight of the year - and now we get all three...

    I still find it hard to believe.

    If Perdomo wins, it shouldn't mean much to the tourney. It is likely to be considered a controversial points decision or a lucky punch - and Kessler will still be considered more than good enough.

    However, IF Perdomo were to put on a clinic on Kessler and outbox him for 12 rounds... then we would have a problem.

    I think the biggest respect needs to go out to Carl Froch and Jermain Taylor who really do try to fight the best fighters available along with the other four fighter involved in this tournament.

    froch vs dirrell will be in the UK at around 01:00 GMT with abraham vs taylor at prime time in germany, i heard both abraham and taylor will then be flown over on a private jet to watch froch/dirrell ringside
