    Obviously AA has good chances against Kessler and Froch. I can´t comment on Green, since I´ve never seen him fight.
    AA will always struggle against fighters with speed and movement. He didn´t look good against Dirrell and Dirrell might even get better from fight to fight. I don´t like AA´s chances in a rematch. The same goes for Ward, he saw the gameplan against AA and will probably be able to pull it off.
    I hope he learned something from his loss.

    Think its all moot as I don't expect to get past Froch. As long as Froch dosen't fall out of position (I don't expect him to as he knows how dangerous AA is) he should be able to use his physical strength, left lead to keep AA in his shell. Not to mention I think his power punches can be looped around AA's guard or just bust right through them. Should be a very bruising encounter.

    I like Abraham to beat Froch, most likely by a stoppage. Froch looks much more comfortable when he's doing the stalking against Taylor and Dirrell types, and was very troubled when Kessler forced him to go backwards. I think Abraham will bring much more effective pressure than the inspired Kessler did.

    I saw almost all AA's fights.
    Abraham is extremely overrated.
    Look at his opposition, guys. The first serious opponent outclassed him (Dirrell).

    Abraham has a lot of weakneses. I dont see him beating Froch and Ward.
    You all will be surprised, how easy Froch'll cope with him. It will be like Klitschko-Arreola.

    So,

    Ward UD Green

    Froch UD Abraham
    Kessler TKO Green
    Ward UD Dirrell

    1. Ward - 6
    2. Kessler - 5
    3. Froch - 4
    4. Abraham -3
    5. Dirrell - 2
    6. Green - 0

    Semi-finals:

    Froch KO Kessler (Nottingam)
    Ward UD Abraham (anywhere)

    Final:

    Ward UD Froch

    Abraham was starting to catch Dirrel and the foul out was stupid.He can still do well but needs to start fighting a little more in the early rounds.Kessler and Froch would both make good hard interesting fights as both will come and fight not run around.In a fight with Ward he would really need to get to work early.Abraham is still in with a good chance but its a very close competition now.

    From my point of view AA is the weakest link in the S6 (except Green which I don't know
    enough about).

    I see Froch and Kessler as the strongest in this tournament.
    Direll and S.O.G. as the most talentet and giftet.
    AA with the hardest punch.

    AA will not be able to handle either Froch or Kessler.

    AA biggest chances are against the americans, the "beautifull" boxers that don't
    take him into hard fighting from round 1. AA studies his opponents, their movements he don't want to get to disturbed, exhausted and rushed up. He want to stay cool behind his guards and watch and wait for the moment. Especially MK will be able to eat him up, and make him frustrated and tired, so his timing goes off. Also Froch will take him by using his strenght, just wait and see. I have no doubt.

    Anyway, I see following:

    Biggest chance to win the S6 is probably ward, unless direll beats him next. In that case I would go with direll.

    Kesslers biggest chance to go to the final, is to take Green (is very possible) and then hope for a semi-final against either Froch or AA. I think Direll would be the best for MK to meet in the final (S.O.G. or Direll) (even that his chances against him are not so great) but I think MK has a fair chance of breaking his spirit by unleasing a war from 1 round (pray to good and his chin which has never let him down so fare). I know the decision i Nottingham was very questionable, but is Froch could do it, MK also has a fair change.

    Ward - Green ---> Tko ward
    Froch - AA ---> UD FROCH (or late tko Froch)
    MK - Green ---> tko MK
    Direll - Ward ---> MD Direll

    1. Ward 5 points.
    2. MK 5 points.
    3. Froch 4 points.
    4. Direll 4 points.
    5. AA 3 points.
    6. Green 0 points.

    Semi-finals.

    Ward-Direll
    MK - Froch


    MK - Direll ?????

    i honesty think froch is gonna beat him, not that he can repeat what dirrell did but the bluprint is out on how to beat him. and thats commit to the body, providing abraham doesnt ***** about the body shots lol. carl froch seemed to have developed a good jab as well, and if its a good enough jab to trade with kessler then god help abraham in this matchup. im going out on a leg when i say this, but i actually think froch is gonna outbox abraham.

    :? The man fought with a broken jaw and made it, survived on his feet against a guy that can punch...I dont understand you on that one buddy...If anything AA chin proven...and I'm not his biggest fan either.\

    Just calling it as I see it!
     
  12. I dunno about that bro. Dirrell gave him a flash knockdown, but Miranda's a ****in hitter and couldn't put him down... even after destroying Abraham's jaw..

    I wonder about the Dirrell KD AA. Dirrell pushed him backwards and then got in a good punch right on his chin. Of course it was a KD, but what do you guys think: Was it more off balance action or did the punch really hurt AA? Did this KD tell us something about AA´s chin, expose it to some degree?

    It was all about the push. Watching it again on the replay it looked like he was going to fall even without the punch. Abraham easily has the best chin in the Tourney.

    Its a loss when its a one sided fight before the DQ... By you logic whenever a fighter is getting thoroughly dominated then its always better to get disqualified...because its not a "loss"...
