FC360 is much better than 24/7, and the Super Six is still far more interesting than Pacquiao-Margarito.
So Sakio Bika can take the WBA title away from the tournament? Great. The non-tournament fight is a mess. Froch or Abraham could have more points than Ward even though they both have losses. Lets just hope we get a few good fights.
If you ask me, Bika doesn't even deserve a title shot. I'm certainly glad he doesn't get to come in two fights behind everybody else and get a shot at the trophy (and unifying the WBA and WBC). If anything, Mendy should be in line for the chance at Ward in the non-tourny bout.
I liked 360 more when they focused it more on a fight, but since there was no fights at the time of this, I can understand. Hopefully the next episode is great. I expect a lot with the Abe-Froch and Green-(Forgot the other guys name). Should be good.

It's not about if you agree with me or I agree with you it's about having a clear understanding of these Super 6 rules. Ward is not stuck at 4 points, He was awarded a win and 2 points for Dirrell's forefit. Ward has 6 points. AA has 3 points. Froch has 2. Green and Johnson 0 points. So AA can only tie ward with a 3 point KO but it was cleary stated that this is a points based tourney and the person with the higher point total advances. Froch has 2 points, so it's no given that AA and Froch will meet in the next round. If Froch loses then he would be tied with the winner of Green-Johnson at 2 points. Unless either Green or Johnson score a Kayo in which they would have 3 points then Froch would be last and face Ward.
Ward’s fight against Bika in Oakland, Calif., is not part of the Super Six. Instead, he’ll get two points from Dirrell’s forfeit, giving him a tournament-leading six and ensuring his place in the semifinals. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/other_sports/boxing/view.bg?articleid=1289244&srvc=rss
Interesting, RM. However - the most Abraham can earn against Froch is 3 points (with a knockout). Combined with the 3 he already has, that puts him at 6 - tied with Ward. Why would Abraham be the top seed in that case? Ward would be 3-0 with six points, while Abraham would be 2-1 with six points. Ward would still make more sense as #1 seed based on that. :think So really (if my hunch is correct), Abraham and Froch are fighting for the prestige of being #2 instead of #3 - which won't affect the semi-final match-ups at all.
Wait ... If AA wins by KO, and Green or Johnson win also by KO, Froch is #4. So he won't have AA-Froch II
