    Damn....we got TWO fighters with potential career ending injuries from "QUESTIONABLE" activity during their fights. Ward butted Kessler a number of times but I do feel they were unintentional...and Abraham hit Dirrel while he was on the ground.

    Both Andre D and Kessler may never continue their fighting careers. A shame.

    Does this guy grasp the concept of disproving a point against him or what?

    acidental clash of heads ruled by the ref is diffrent from
    getting dqd for hitting a man on his knees that was intentional like i said you cant hit a man on his knees in ufc

    Real talk! The idea of the super 6 is great but unfortunately it's been a problem since it got going. From contraversial decisions, questionable ring activities, to the severe injuries... I hope they can some how salvage what's remaining of the S6 Tourney.

    It should just be a simple elimination. To many high level fights back to back. Guys are going to get hurt.

    My hats off to Showtime for being so ambitious though. :thumbsup

    Actually, no. You don't need depth perception to drive.

    I never needed it when I had a real bad case of sore eyes that shut my right eye for one week. Was still able to go to my university classes during that time, just with a bandage over my right eye.

    But then again, I've driven for a long time in my life, so calculation with driving are pretty natural at that point.

    They just happen a lot more often when you stack so many high level fighters in a tournament that is far too long. :good

    the dirrell - froch decision is part and parcel of boxing and kessler's eye injury isn't a new one. it's something he's been dealing with for quite a while.

    I want Bute to get his can kicked for being the long count cheat he is.

    I am not disagreeing with you. I am just saying that these are extremely high level fights close together. IMHO, Kessler would not have taken so many brutal fights back to back knowing his condition. AD/CF? I agree that is boxing and, though I favored Dirrell, could see the controversy.

    Boxing is a brutal business. There is just too much riding on a tournament this long and brutal for it to make sense. A simple bracket would have more than sufficed.
