How Many Of You Will Go On To Watch The "Super 6"?

Well, being that tonight's outcomes are more or less academic (as Taylor, Froch, and Dirrell will all be absent from the Finals) I'll sure be tuning in straight through 2011 as Kessler and Abraham blast through all their tune-ups en route to the Championship Cup bout against one another.

 

Mikkel Kessler vs Andre Ward - I want to see what Ward can do.

Mikkel Kessler vs Carl Froch - Unifying Super Middleweight belts

Arthur Abraham vs Andre Dirrell - Great style match up

Andre Ward vs Jermain Taylor - How will both rebound from a Stage 1 loss?

Andre Ward vs Andre Dirrell - Been looking forward to this fight since they were Olympians

Mikkel Kessler vs Jermain Taylor - I feel bad for Taylor. Probably, the one fight that you can pass up.

With a potential, Mikkel Kessler vs Arthur Abraham final.

**** year im going to continue watching.

 

Despite the robberies, super 6 is good for boxing and the fighters will get more chances

 

Seriously, people are overreacting. For me the super 6 is good because it promises fights between the best of the division, but that doesn't mean it's immune to the politics and corruption in boxing. You take the good with the bad. I'm over this fight and I'm looking forward to the next one.

And it's not as if Dirrell won't have a chance to redeem himself.

 

WHat good are the fights if they are fixed though????

These were two horribly scored and officiated fights, both benefitting the hometown promoters. People are just going to ignore the the Abraham-Taylor scoring because it didn't matter but it was out of whack also...

Why wouldnt we watch!!?? wtf.... I saw king arthur whoop some ass and I saw a bad decision! But the king will beat everyone!! GO AA

 

How exactly was the Abraham-Taylor fight scoring wack when Abraham was clearly dominating and the scorecards were close?

And the Froch-Dirrell fight was close. 2 judges gave it to Froch, two ringside scores gave it to Froch, one judge gave it to Dirrell, and one had it a draw. So it was 4-1-1 in favor of Froch. It was a close fight, it could have gone either way. Not a robbery.

 

keith: King arthur almost murdered taylor, so how did the officials mess that one up?? King arthur is a bad boy.... all hail the king is coming

 

First I'll say"I told ya so," and I would appreciate it if some of you guys would stop flaming me for tell the unvarnished truth about certain aspects of the Sauerland Six.

Second I'll say that Jermain Taylor is shot to ****, and that was clear as early as the 3rd round. Where was JT's trade mark counter punching? Where was that lightning fast left hook? Where was that fast-accurate right hand? Why didn't JT simply step over and throw a big right hand when AA gave him about 20 chances to do that? Later in the fight when AA was mouth breathing and backing away with his hands down, how come JT did not attack? Jermain has been one of my favorites for years. I will not watch anymore of his fights because I refuse to watch him end up like Bobby Chacon.

Third I will say, without apology, that Carl Froch should have been disqualifed. Since when do you get 7 warnings for rabbit punching? Since when do you get to hit on the break, throw forearms, hip toss your opponent, and hold his head down while you hit him on the back?

Finally I will say I am not the least bit sorry for openly critisizing posters and journalists for claiming these are six of the best fighter in the world. We saw four of them tonight, and I truly believe that Kessler, Bute, Andrade, Pavlik, maybe Bika, and maybe even 155 pound Paul Williams would go 4-0 against what we saw tonight.

 

The officiating was terrible, Taylor did not deserve a point dedecution for a boderline belt shot. And the scores had Abraham up 5-7 points, out of whack for that fightas he gave away the early part of the fight. I had him ahead going into the last round, so it ouwldn't have mattered, but you could tell by the scores that judges banked some early rounds he didn't deserve, just in case.

And he is a bad man, very impressive. He has a great chance to win this whole thing, bad judging or not.

One of the judges had it 105-103 Abraham. The other judge had it (I'm pretty sure) 106-102. Abraham was dominating him and he was (or at least should have) been about 6 points ahead.

 

No it wasn't close,at least if you were watching the fight. So we have three judges scoring it close who are approved by the promoter. Then we have pressside people, all from england who scored it close. Not exactly the beacons of partiality. A terrible robbery.


Keith

 

Lets all just whine about this! Go MMA!!!!

 

So one judge got it right. If you had AA 6 ahead and the Froch fight close, then you are either biased or don't know how to score a fight.

The tourney is great, I like the idea of round robin. This means Taylor still has a chance to get back and learn from his previous fights. Kessler-Abraham should be interesting although I think it will be like AA-JT, except no KO.
