In the event of cuts/injurys do you think showtime have lined up replacements, or is the schedule extendable until the fighter is fit?
plan B is called "project sakio bika" I dont exactly know what a "sakio bika" is, but inside man told me that was it
I was thinking about this also. Thinking that onefighter might have 3 tougher fights than another. Back to the injuries question though If Froch had already fought his first 2 fights(Dirrel, kesler). Abraham gets injured a month before the fight. They could bring in Ward or Taylor and not look outside the Super 6? There is some crazy potential scenario's. Froch loses his first fight and belt to Dirrel. Wins his next 2 fights and gets through to the semi's and again fights for his old belt whoever beats Dirrel in his second or third fight. This tournament is hardcore!
All I can say is I feel sorry for all the other super middleweights sitting on the outside looking in, pretty much frozen out of contention for alot of big fights for a few years.
According to the interview with Ken Hershman, they will adjust the scheduled dates to be flexible per injuries/KO suspensions/sports calendar conflicts. I doubt we'll see substitutions unless someone is going to be sidelined for like a year with something gravely serious.
Right I figure since there's no strict schedule deadline currently, they can just stretch it out a little longer if need be. I'm sure they have Sakio Bika and Edison Miranda on speed dial though.
The final is mid 2011. I would think there is time to postpone fights a few months in case of injuries
