    I think that Froch will improve most as the tournement goes on.

    I think the whole "Taylor gassed" thing is also over done. He has taking allot of heavy shots from Froch throughtout the fight. Also remember that Froch started very poorly, and gifted Taylor the first 4 rounds plus a knock down.

    Abraham has not been anywhere near the class of Taylor. I just get a feeling JT could see this as his one last chance, he has nothing to loose, and that makes him more dangerious than ever before. If Abraham took more than 5 rounds to et rid of the likes of Wayne Elcock, who then looked poor agaisnt McDermott before a dodgy stoppage, and got smashed to bit my Matt Macklin.


    If Taylor does loose I see him retiring though, can you really see him wanting to train to fight Dirrel/Ward just so 5 months later he ca get smashed to bits by Kessler???

    I think Abraham is Taylor's worst nightmare.

    Abraham will be at his best when Taylor is at his worst; late on.

    Only one way I'm betting there.

    It's ashame Pascal isn't in this tourney. I'd have bets on him versus Froch again in the finals

    I am really looking forward to that fight. The best fight in the first round for me.

    Same here.

    As there are 3 sets of fight it's a shame they couldn't host one night here, one in Europe and one in the States.

    Arthur Abraham vs. Jermain Taylor
    Carl Froch vs. Andre Dirrell
    Mikkel Kessler vs. Andre Ward

    Arthur Abraham vs. Andre Dirrell
    Mikkel Kessler vs. Carl Froch
    Andre Ward vs. Jermain Taylor

    Andre Dirrell vs. Andre Ward
    Arthur Abraham vs. Carl Froch
    Mikkel Kessler vs. Jermain Taylor

    Not feasible, but hell those tickets would sell.

    Most of these fights would sell out anyway on there own, I like that they would spread it i like one big fight a week to look forward to.

    Think Froch got the toughest deal having to go away to fight Kessler and Abraham although i think the Kessler fight could end up in the 02.

    Abraham is shorter yes, but he's thick set. On fight night he looks twice as big as an average middleweight, he'll fit in fine at SMW.

    with no uk tv deal in place that wouldnae ,anyway they could have it in Germany cos it would sell out and there would be more TV money in it.and now that kessler is wirth sauerland it could have more chance of happening

    I could see the Froch fights being picked up - but if the others aren't picked up then that will be disappointing.

    :think



    I think it will look quite different to this, for one I think there will be more than 1 KO in the first round. Abraham is gonna get whupped in all but one of his fights.
    Also I don't see Froch getting to the semi's. Ward could be the darkhorse IMO and Taylor will spring a few surprises.
    Kessler will win the final. Just not sure who against.
