    Hard to say.50-50.

    Pascal still makes mistakes and Dirrell is untested.

    False.At least a big exageration.

    In fact it was almost the other way around and the fight could very well be from 8-4 to 6-6.

    He looked like he was stumbling around to me...

    He was ****ed, stamina wise.

    He was.Yet he didn't get KO'd nor was he really in danger.

    But he did have him almost out at the end of the 8th.

    It's hard to tell if you only seen it once live on that stream.

    Mollo fought half a fight fatigued with Golota and didn't get KO'd.

    Froch’s promoter Mick Hennessy said: 'I can’t really comment on it but I’m working on something very exciting for Carl, although nothing has been signed yet.

    'I’m talking about some big name opponents for Carl and if what I’m working on comes to fruition there will be a big announcement in New York on Monday.

    Guy, on the general some dude posted this link:

    http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...ants-to-face-WBA-champion-Mikkel-Kessler.html

    With Froch mentioning Dirrell and Kessler it makes me feel that this tournament is as good as confirmed. This is what boxing needs- I am genuinely immensely excited by this tournament.

    Thats cool mate:good, I'd take either fight.

    A SM tournament just sounds amazing to me though.

    :goodI completely agree. I didn't wanna get too excited about it before it is delivered but all signs point to it now probably taking place. It's got everything: current champions, ex-champions, contenders. It's gonna be awesome. Especially, as you say, in one of the most exciting divisions about at the moment:D.

    Ring TV have confirmed it. Sounds awesome thought they Doug doesn't offer Froch a hope in this tournament. I think he gets soundly blasted.
