    Kessler vs Froch in Denmark

    Ward vs Taylor in US (possibly Oakland)

    Dirrell vs Abraham in California, US

    I'm going out and picking two potential upsets in this round of the tournament.

    I starting to think that Carl Froch maybe awkward enough and strong enough to take out Kessler on his home turf. Froch has been in 3 straight tough fights starting with Pascal, Taylor, and Dirrell all world class competetors and he's prepared to travel.

    Froch 11rd TKO

    I'm also picking Jermain Talyor to upset Andre Ward, I believe Ward is good but I feel that he may under estimate Taylor at this point and Taylor has nothing to lose.

    Taylor by SD

    It's going to be a toss up with Abraham vs Dirrell, I believe Dirrell has the goods and this will be a great fight, I think that its a fight that Dirrell can't afford to make any mistakes in and a fight that is better suited for Abraham's style. With that being said, I think there's is going to be a huge difference in speed and power, and I believe that the loss to Carl Froch opened Dirrell's eyes. I also think that despite getting the KO against Taylor, that fight took a bit out of Abraham ...

    I'm not picking a winner yet ...


    Who ya got?

    Ward, by landslide UD or mid to late round tko.
    Kessler, by close UD
    Undecided but leaning towards Abraham.

    Ward is in position to win this fight but i'm not completely sold on Ward right now ... he looked good against Kessler but I knew that he would, because Kessler has never seen anything that good outside of Joe Calzaghe. I also think that Froch might be the real deal ... right now I say that he takes Kessler out late ... Froch is very awkward and very strong ... unlike Ward he could draw Kessler into a slugfest and knock him out. I think Froch's confidence is high and Kessler would just be looking to bounce back.

    Ward will not stop Taylor. Ward doesn't have Abraham or Froch's brutal punching power. I actually think out of all the other Super Six contenders, Ward might be one of the better matchups for Taylor. It's hard for me to pick Taylor after his last 2 fights, especially his last fight against Abraham.. he looked horrible.. I'll pick Ward by close but clear decision.

    Before the Kessler vs Ward fight, I would've picked Kessler over Froch easily.. but I don't know anymore honestly. I think Froch might be able to outwork Kessler to a decision.. too tough to call.. right now I'll go with Froch by decision.

    Abraham will not KO Dirrell. Dirrell is a lot more elusive than Taylor and even Taylor almost made it to the final bell. I just don't see any way Abraham will stop Dirrell. He doesn't throw enough punches. But he should win a decision.

    Your problem with Ward is Dirrell. Your a fan of Dirrells and you have always tried to down play Ward. But the thing is its not a one or the other situation, Dirrell and Ward are very good friends and are pulling for one another. Why does Dirrell fans have to rag on Ward and vice versa??? I dont understand it. You know damn well that Taylor isnt going to beat Ward:bart

    I think all the favorites may win this round:
    Kessler by decision. Froch is tailor-made for Kessler. Kessler will be able to outbox Froch the majority of the fight and even if Froch lands some big shots, Kessler has a good chin.
    Ward by decision. He'll use enough movement to get inside of Taylor's jab and score.
    Abraham by decision. Although, this could be the most likely for an upset. But, it depends on how active Dirrell is. If he stinks out like he did with Froch, Abraham will win. He needs to use his speed to score when there are openings and use a lot of movement.

    Ward UD (Praying Taylor wins though)
    Kessler UD/late KO (Style suits Kessler)
    Abraham KO (If he's getting out-boxed, he will go full steam and KO Dirrel)

    See... the thing with Dirrell is. He could probably beat a lot of the guys in the Super Six, but the location of the fight is essential for him to win. He's not gonna beat Froch in the UK or Abraham in Germany.. because Dirrell's style is sometimes not the most appealing to fans and judges alike... and on foreign soil I don't think it helps him at all. You're fighting against the hometown fighter, the undefeated fighter, and all you're doing is moving, countering, and hugging. No judge on foreign soil is going to give you the decision, no matter how much you think you outboxed your opponent. But if it were in the US, he has a much better chance. Sad as it is to say..

    It's interesting that so many people think Froch is made for Kessler whilst others things Kessler is made for Froch.

    I think, right now, Froch may be able to take the remaining heart from Kessler. I don't believe Kessler can hurt him, as his punches are too predictable, and in the later rounds, Froch will take over and beat a gallant Kessler to a stoppage in 10.

    Taylor UD
    Abraham KO

    Kessler vs FRoch...parte deux Kessler vs Andrade

    Abraham vs Dirrell...King Arthur of 160, not 168...yall will b saying,"DAM! DIRRELL HIT HARD!!"

    Ward vs JT...PLZ JT RETIRE or take a mudafukn break. Fuq da title nd payday! Rest ur brain. U been stopped twice n most recent fights! Yes Ward doesn't hit as hard as u, but he will land nd accumilitavely end ur short yet money making career.

    I wanna c Taylor take a break with his family.

    During Taylor's rest let Andre unify with Lucian Bute n Canada with two American judges nd a loyal-to-logic ref. Ward nd Bute r both peaking. Let dis b like when SHO offered a multi fight deal to BHOP 2 face Joe Calzaggy. It may not have da magnitude of fresh around 20 defenses nd PRIME Calzaggy, but arguably da division's creme of da crop. ANDRE WARD & LUCIAN BUTE.
