    Ward knocks out Green
    Dirrell UD Ward
    Froch UD AA
    Green ko's Kessler

    Putting all three Americans in the final four with Froch:lol:

    I dont think that will happen, but just think of all the excuses that would be flying around this broad.

    I think that

    Ward will UD Green
    Ward will UD Dirrell
    AA will UD Froch
    and Kessler will UD Green

    Making the final standings
    Ward-3-0 6points
    AA 2-1 5points
    Kessler 2-1 4points
    Froch 1-2 2points
    Dirrell 1-2 2points
    Green 0-2 0points

    I think Europe will go through with 3 fighters, and USA with one. But Ward will win it all.

    So if that happens you could say Europe has more good fighters, but USA has the best one.

    It should be obvious to everyone that the best two fighters SO FAR are ward and dirrel followed by froch(I fully except the fact that dirrel was robbed in England).

    I think Green has the capacity to be a much tougher fight for Andre than Kessler. Still, I am also expecting Ward to find his way to victory.

    If Ward doesn't take too much out of him I think Green has a great chance to defeat Kessler (perhaps even stop Mikkel - effectively ending the Dane's career or at least any remaining chance at being in serious contention). It is not that Green is undeniably great or proven - simply that Kessler is clearly a bit limited and uni-dimensional.

    I am embarassed to say that I have yet to see Ward fight, but I have seen Dirrell and some of you are saying Ward is better. You can't count out Green though. He always has a punchers chance and could upset Ward. I feel that AA can and will KO Froch. Dirrell has a legitimate chance to win it all too if he learns from his mistakes.

    You know I always thought boxing was about an individual , that was the whole point. It wasnt till I started coming on here that i found out I have to be a fan of someone if they come from the same continent as me and i can't support fighters who dont !

    Dont these constant ****in reference to nationalism even get tiresome to you ****s ?

    It doesn´t matter what citizenship a fighter has, only what kind of fighter he is.

    As a fan of the Euro, I would be devastated.

    This whole Euro concept is quite bizarre...

    I'm from Denmark and I have Danish citizenship, but apparently I'm a Euro

    This might surprise you, but an Italian or a Russian or a Romanian don't really feel any more of a connection to a Danish/British/German fighter than they do to an American. And the Danes/Brits/Germans only care about how their own fighter does, otherwise it doesn't really matter to them who goes through.

    Citizenship does matter for most people, if a fighter is from the same country as you it's normal to cheer for that fighter against a foreign fighter. But being from the same continent matters for nothing. I really don't feel Arthur Abraham as one of my own any more than I do Andre Ward :roll:

    It's still DKK even though it's pegged to the Euro.
