    Here is how I see the rest of the super six playing out:

    Round 2
    Kessler UD Froch
    Ward UD Green

    Round 3
    AA KO Froch
    Dirrell SD Ward
    Kessler UD Green

    If this is the case then the point totals will be
    AA 6
    Ward 4
    Kessler 4
    Dirrell 4
    Froch 2
    Green 0

    So the semi final matches will be (hopefully in nuetral areas like Vegas!)
    AA/Dirrell II
    Ward/Kessler II

    I see AA winning the rematch with Dirrell and Ward beating Kessler again giving us Ward vs AA in the end. That is a pick em fight right now but we'll know more about both men by then, for now I'm picking AA by a controversial SD over Ward with both fighters wanting a rematch.

    Would be great semi finals - hopefully both Germany/Denmark.

    those are almost the complete opposite of what i picked but if the SS6 has taught me anything is that any of these guys can win on any given night (except Green but who knows)

    Those picks seem reasonable, but I do not aggree with all of them. If Dirrell and Abraham end up in a rematch, Dirrell will knock Abraham out or earn a non-controversial TKO. We've seen Dirrell grow by leaps and bounds over the past year. Abraham is the exact same fighter he was in the Ikeke fight.

    I'm no longer certain that AA can knock Froch out. He simply isn't very good, and doesn't seem to have the same pop he had at 160.

    Fair enough but I feel Dirrell is THE worst possible style matchup for AA so changing your opinion of him so drastically based on that fight is extreme. Also Dirrell was masterful last week, do you believe he can replicate a performance like that consistantly?

    I agree on the style matchup part but I think Dirrell will get better, he isn't in his prime yet. It looks to me he learned alot from the Froch fight.

    I can easily see this happening as well:

    Round 2
    Kessler UD Froch
    Ward UD Green

    Round 3
    Froch KO AA
    Ward UD Dirrell
    Kessler UD Green

    If this is the case then the point totals will be
    Ward 6
    Froch 5
    Kessler 4
    AA 3
    Dirrell 2
    Green 0

    So the semi final matches will be (hopefully in nuetral areas like Vegas!)
    Ward/AA
    Kessler/Froch

    Time will tell with Dirrell. I'm about 90% sold on him. He is NOT the same fighter he was a year ago. He has grown and improved at an amazing rate. If he can fix just a few more things, he'll be damn near unstoppable.

    If Dirrell does indeed get better or consistently performs like he did against AA then he is definitely going to be a P4P great for a long time

    Ward would be a much worse matchup for AA. I too feel that Froch is going to be a tough fight. I personally think that AA will end this with 3 points that he got by beatting by far the worst fighter in the thing. I think that Taylor would have been an easy 3 points for everyone he faced.

    I said from the start that the Ward Kessler winner would win the whole thing and Im staying with that pick being Ward. I just dont see anyone outside of Dirrell beatting. He would beat AA to a pulp. It would look much like his fight with Miranda. Green only has a punchers chances, and Froch I dont think even has that much of a chance. I could be wrong, but I havent been wrong about one of these fights yet.

    Lastly, Boo has a point about Dirrell. I thought it was too much too fast for him. But he has grown. I think that not only would he do what he did in the first fight, but I think that he could very well knock AA out in a rematch. If AA somehow thinks that he should go after Dirrell it could and would spell trouble for him.

    There's no doubt Ward is another tough matchup for AA and I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Ward wins that fight but Ward seems to be more hittable than Dirrell which would favor AA. Also, I don't think Taylor would have been an easy 3 points for everyone, remember he was beating Froch untill he gassed and was visibly in better shape for the Abraham fight. I also think Taylor would have made it a really close fight with both Dirrell and Ward, still would love to see Taylor face either one of them.
