I think the Super 6 could be making a big mistake. What do you think?

    I read somewhere that due to Bute being on HBO or an HBO fighter that they couldnt afford Bute for the competition. I dont know if thats true or not though

    KEN HERSHMAN :
    “(IBF champion) Lucien Bute was not invited (to participate). He's a great champion but this tournament works. Not one promoter or fighter objected to the first-round draw. They all said ‘put me in front of anyone.’ Each promoter feels their guy is ready to take this tournament.’’
    This was when they announced the tourney.
    Right now Bute has a mandatory fight with Brinkley for the IBF

    Unless Johnson ****s around and knocks Green out this fight won't have any bearing on the outcome of the tourney. The thing is, I don't think a weight drained Glen Johnson, who took this on pretty short notice, will KO Green.

    What's wrong with my statement from your point of view?
    What?
    That i like Ward who's young and willing to make a legacy and has the mind set of a champion to win the s6 ? And is the only one who said that the winner should fight Bute.He respects his opponents , he is young and we will see more high risk high reward fights if he win's it.
    What?
    The fact that i like Abraham to win the super six? He's a funny men ,a former world champion that has dynamite in his fists. The bad thing about him wanting the fight the other big name of the division left ouside of s6 is that his goal is to be known in US and he'll probably want an American opponent.By the way he lost his match with Dirrell we can only imagine who that will be. He is my second choice because he has a nice character and the other are not going to win (Green / Johnson) and i don't want them to win ( Green / Dirrell).
    What?
    That i'm not overjoyed thinking of Froch as super six winner?
    There are reasons for that:

    1 He already has thoughts of retirement-Best case scenario he will have 1 more fight after the tournament.

    2 IF he doesn't retire he will jump to Light-Heavy(Pascal) before settling things at Supper-Middle(Bute/Kessler)

    3 I don't like arrogant fighters... but Froch compensates in the ring

    What?
    That i think Dirrell is a coward. What Abraham did was stupid and wrong and the DQ is the right call. But what Dirrell done after... I find it more despicable then what AA done in the heat of the moment.
    If your hurt ... let the doctors check you out , tell them you can't go on , don't look at the floor shaking your had when they try do see what's wrong with you . Don't put that crybaby stupid face and start punching the doctor for ffs , Don't start running around the ring yelling: "Let me breath yoo . Let me breath dawg." And don't start faking amnesia ffs yelling " I got knocked out" after your corner and your promoter told you repeatedly that you weren't Knocked out.

    What?
    That i think the super 6 isn't super?
    When you don't have the #1 by the ring and boxrec and #2 by ESPN and ESB men ranked in the division in there. And when you have a **** fighter like Green and you have to bring a old Light-Heavyweight . Hell that tournament can't even be called Top 10 Supper-middleweight since Green and Johnson don't make top10 SM of the most sites.

    Johnson is training with Bute. Let's hope he's already in good shape and not too heavy.

    It was a good idea but turned out into a farse. Johnson barely made 175 in his last fight. He was above 190 in the fight night. Do not get me wrong. I like Johnson. The guy is a hard worker but at this point I do not see him making 168 and be competitive.

    Lets be honest Johnson was never very good at SMW losing to Sheika, but he hasnt been a SMW for 9 years
