Super Six - official Group Stage predictions/seeding done right

I think that being KO'd the most times with make you the bottom, but since you made Froch and Taylors fate identical. I would simply go by who had the most difficult road which in your example is Froch.

So AA-Taylor, Froch-Kessler.

I agree with how you think it plays out. Exempt that Kessler wins all his fights on KO, because - well - he is just better. And if he can knock out AA, then Ward will be lights out in half the time frame, which is my bet.

 

here's mine:

Group Stage 1, Fight 3: Kessler UD Ward - 2pts (2)

Group Stage 2, Fight 1: Abraham UD Dirrell - 2pts (5)

Group Stage 2, Fight 2: Kessler KO Froch - 3pts (5)

Group Stage 2, Fight 3: Taylor UD Ward - 2pts (2)

Group Stage 3, Fight 1: Ward UD Dirrell - 2pt (2)

Group Stage 3, Fight 2: Abraham KO Froch - 3pts (8)

Group Stage 3, Fight 3: Kessler KO Taylor - 3pts (8)

Total individual points tallied after Group Stage, with top four seeded for semi-finals:

Top seed: Abraham - 8 points (2x KO victory, 1 UD victory)
Top seed: Kessler - 8 points (2x KO victory, 1 UD victory)
3rd seed: Taylor - 2 points (1x UD victory, Knocked out twice)
3rd seed: Froch - 2 points (1x UD victory, knocked out twice)
3rd seed: Ward - 2 points (1x UD victory)

I dunno who fights who and who gets eliminated :nut

 

In your scenario, it would give alot of headaches, and they should skip the semis, and go right to the final, because that is all that matters.

 

Yup the 3 bottom seeds really are useless in this scenario.

 

Group Stage 1, Fight 3: Kessler TKO 11 Ward - 3pts (3)

Group Stage 2, Fight 1: Dirrell UD Abraham - 2pts (2)

Group Stage 2, Fight 2: Kessler KO 10 Froch - 3pts (6)

Group Stage 3, Fight 2: Abraham KO 10 Froch - 3pts (6)

Kessler - 9

Abraham - 6

Ward - 2

Froch - 2

Taylor - 0

Ward goes through because he's American (Officially: because Froch lost by KO twice)

Kessler UD Ward

Abraham KO8 Dirrell

Kessler TKO 12 Abraham

 

Group Stage 1, Fight 3: Kessler SD Ward - 2pts (2)

Group Stage 2, Fight 1: Abraham SD Dirrell - 2pts (5)

Because the weaker fighters (all the Americans) face each other so they're gonna be picking up points, while some1 like Carl Froch has to fight both Kessler & Abrahams in consecutive fights.

it would be great if everyone fought everyone!
so u have a genuine top 4!
:smoke

 

Stage 1

Taylor - Abraham [Abraham KO = 3pts]
Froch - Dirrell [Froch Decison = 2pts]
Kessler - Ward [Kessler Decision = 2pts]

Stage 2

Dirrell - Abraham [Dirrell UD = 2pts + 0pts = 2pts]
Kessler - Froch [Kessler KO = 3 pts + 2pts = 5pts]
Taylor - Ward [Ward Decision 2pts + 0pts = 2pts]

Stage 3

Ward - Dirrell [Dirrell decision 2pts + 2pts + 0pts = 4pts]
Froch - Abraham [Abraham KO 3pts + 0pts + 3pts = 6pts]
Taylor - Kessler [Kessler KO 3pts + 3pts + 2pts = 8pts]


AS you can see from my predition:

Abraham = 6pts
Kessler = 8pts
Ward = 2pts
Dirrell = 4pts
Froch = 2pts
Taylor = 0pts



QUESTION: Assuming my prediction scenario comes true and at the endd of the first 3 group stages the points are as follows. we know that taylor would be out, but because Ward and Froch both have 2 points who will advance? They cant have a box off to decide because it will take atleast a few months right? my guess is the froch would be out too becuase his decision was a SPLIT DECISION

 

I'm taking a shot in the dark but something similar happened in contender season 3 with the points system and they took into account how the fight was won either via SD or UD which ultimately got the SD contender eliminated. a box off would be the ideal solution but not one they will pick.

 

My predictions are almost identical, the only difference is that I have Ward beating Dirrell (and I had Dirrell UDing Froch in the 1 stage). If your predictions become reality, both semis will be rematches.

Showtime did state that there will be a measurement system for ties, so I think its safe to assume, UD > SD, TKO5 > TKO 12, etc, etc.

 

the dirrell and ward one is the only one I feel unsure of. to be its a toss up and either one of them can win but I deffinatley see it going to a decision. It can easily be the deciding fight of which one of them makes it into the top 4 which is gona make it so interesting becuz they would actually be going for the KO
