The Super 6; Americans making a good account of themselves

Well, he was, AA is a 5 ft 9 career middleweight, yet still the power puncher out the lot.

Froch commented on how small AA was when they met.

 

I agree...And to think, outside of Taylor, the Americans are relatively inexperienced when compared to their foreign opponents. Both Ward and Dirrell are young fighters who are barely scratching the surface on their true potential.

Not a huge Dirrell fan but I got to give him props for putting on a masterclass against the suppossed favorite in this tournament. As far as talent goes, Dirrell and Ward are leagues above the rest of the guys

 

no, do you?

 

yes

 

No way.

Ward refused to fight in the tournament unless he had all his fights in his hometown. Notice that Green will have to fight Ward in his hometown. All of Ward's fights will be in his hometown. Why is that? Bute is the best.

Dirrell was ready to be knocked out, sent down from a left jab/slip, noticed he looked over at his corner, then acted like he was suddenly knocked out. Abraham was on his way to a knockout win and Dirrell knew it. Cole is an idiot. Abraham clearly knocked Dirrell down and Cole called it a slip! Video says otherwise. The cut was caused by a headbutt, video clearly shows this. Dirrell did a good acting job. Watch the video again, watch Dirrell look at his corner before pretending he was knocked out. Dirrell was finished and he knew it. This is not the first time Cole has been biased. Check out many of his fights in Texas protecting the home fighter. I had Abraham losing on points as I expect him to do, but the knockout was there to be had, Dirrell was finished, therefore the acting job.
