    So, were closing in on the last super 6 semi final and Carl Froch due to take on Glen Johnson on saturday night with the winner set to face Andre Ward around November time, Who did you think would win from when this was first announced.......

    I thought Abraham would do big things in this tournament, admittedly, his last couple of fights at middle weight were last luster but i put that down to struggling to make the weight and thought he'd be a different kind of beast at 168

    how wrong could i have been....

    Hadn't seen much of Ward or Dirrell, thought Froch would be defeated off of Abraham and Kessler and he would be out by group stage.

    Thought Kessler would win the whole thing impressively, got it wrong.

    Very pleased with Froch throughout the whole thing.

    If he gets past Johnson, November at the MGM would suit me nicely. Would love to go over for the final.

    I thought Froch would win it, never knew anything about Ward and Dirrell.

    I went for Abraham. He showed better boxing skills at MW, but he lost it as soon as he fought bigger men. He can still bang though.

    I predicted that there'd be some pull outs and 65 year old Glen Johnson would step in, move down in weight and own it while being charming as ****.

    Knew very little on Ward and Dirrell so blindly went for Kessler.

    I said beforehand Dirrell was nowhere near the finished article. I was kinda' right.

    Ward really surprised me, a top quality operator no doubt, big things for sure for him.

    I thought Froch would be too open and would get sparked by Abraham. I felt Kessler was going to show Ward things he'd never seen.

    I thought the final would be Kessler Vs Abraham :rofl

    Shame we never got to see Dirrell Vs Ward though, interesting matchup and I think Ward woulda' battered the twerp :deal

    Tatlor by the way was devastated Allan Green, Bika and Johnson got alternate places over him. Paup Snith called out Tatlor, who wanted nothing to do with him, understandably.

    Snith was denied Super 6 status due to him being a natural Fyweight of course, it wouldn't have looked good on the cameras.

    I'd heard good things about Ward but thought Kessler would be way too much for him as Ward was so inexperienced as a pro. But he's definitely shown his class even if he hasn't sparkled since the Kessler win. I can't wait for Ward vs Froch if Carl gets past Johnson.
