    After Dirrell and Ward dominated their respective opponents in last bouts?

    Americans have won 50% of their fights in the super 6.

    Nah

    In my book neither of those wins are dominations.

    In Kessler's case, yes! He's a total stiff that has gotten his ass kicked in the two fights that were by far his biggest challenges.

    Yes. The lack of fluidity that a lot of our European fighters have is evident again. Britain has slowly moved away from this type of fighter (Benn, Eubank, Lewis and Hamed being the catalysts, I reckon), but Froch is more like some of our more static boxers from the past. And before other Euro posters moan, Khan and Hatton have brought back the horizontal GB fighter stereotype...

    Some of the fans are more surprising to me than any stereotypical aspects of European boxers. Many Froch and Abraham fans do not seem to understand that it is legal to use the whole ring.
