    Who will win this great tournament? What's the trend? Who is your favorite now after we've seen them all and why?

    My favorite before the Abraham fight was Kessler, because I thought that AA has no chance to win a decision against Taylor. The fight proved me wrong.

    I believed Froch to knock Dirrell out, but his performance was a big let down. The fight was boring to say the least.

    Ward vs. Kessler was a toss up for me. I predicted Kessler to win a UD, but was wrong again. Kessler didn't impress me much.

    My favorite to win the tournament is Abraham. He is the only guy in the tournament who is able to decide a fight with one punch. In addition his defense is rock solid and the speed of his punches is good as well. Dirrell and Ward may be fast guys and Ward's power is perhaps slightly underrated, but both will have big trouble as soon as they got hit with something big and against Abraham this will happen sooner or later.
    Kessler is a big question mark after his weak (or Ward's strong) performance. I was sure that he will beat Froch, but now - I don't know.
    Taylor is quite a big question mark also. His performance against Abraham wasn't that bad. He has still everything he needs to win against his next opponents if his self-confidence hasn't gone down the drain after his 2nd KO loss in a row.

    EDIT: Poll added...

    I agree. Toss up between Abraham and Ward.

    I'm English. I'm hoping for Abraham or Ward. Moreso Abraham as he's a throwback for me. I think either will KO Froch. Too much class.

    I completely underestimated Ward, I'm over the moon for him. Refreshing.

    I underestimated Ward as well. I think Ward was virtually unknown to many Europeans. Last night changed this.

    I also underestimated Ward. My original pick was Kessler, but now I am going with AA, though Ward has a shot.

    Ward.

    Abraham is one of my favourite fighters but he will have a lot of problems with slick fighters that can stay away from his power, i.e. both Andres.

    I am waiting until after the AA-Dirrell, if AA can KO him as well, he is my favoriite. Otherwise it might be just a case of styles make fights. As impressive as Ward looked, fighting outside his home against a tough-as-nails cookie like Froch might be a lot harder fight.

    man i had my bias against ward, but he proved me wrong, the great thing about the super six is that i have no idea about who will win and how:yep
    and thats great:bbb
    call me crazy but i have a feeling, that abraham will lose to direll a close decision, but win the whole tournament by knocking out everyone after that, even direll if they will meet again in the semis or in the final.

    Ward, Abraham or Kessler.

    I can see Kessler beating anyone still, Ward was the wrong matchup for him, but he should do much better in a rematch (with a different referee), although i believe he is a great fighter. Any of the three. Direll, Froch and Taylor won't win.

    Arthur Abraham gets my vote now that the Kessler express has been derailed.

    I’ve got a feeling it will be Carl Froch who gets the most points though.
