Wait a minute - Andre Ward was awarded 2 free S6 points when his buddy pulled it out?

    Only Showtime know why Johnson joined the Super 6 and Bika didn't.

    I was wondering about that when i saw the scores. He just got 2 free points along with 3 home fights.
    Thats messes up. Froch, Abraham and Johnson will need to knock him out 2 times just to get a draw here.

    I didnt know Showtime would pull an HBO ***** move. I was just really starting to like them.

    But Ward has 3 wins (2 real and one from Fight Night R4) while Abraham can only possibly have two with one loss. Common sense would be wins come first and the above mentioned after that. Anyway, Ward still cannot possibly get AA in the SF, even if AA becomes #1, Ward will be #2 and face Froch coming from 2 losses, or if Froch wins Ward will remain no1 and face Johnson while AA and Crotch rematch. That's only possible because Ward was gifted two points when Dirrell pulled it out.

    Whats wrong with:

    Ward vs Loser of Froch vs Abraham

    VS

    Johnson vs winner of Froch vs Abraham

    the ultimate winner is the Super 6 Champ.

    and **** the points?

    Exactly. And they are giving him every opportunity to make it easier. Others have to go through 3 tough fights, some on the road, to get to the semis, while Ward is allowed to fight twice at home and awarded 2 points without a fight. I wouldn't be surprised if Ward-Bika 'miraculously' fell off and Andre goes straight for the semis.

    I had huge hopes for this tournament they did not pan out the way I wished, it's become silly now, however Froch vs Abraham should be an exellent fight, and about Glen Johnsson he may be 100 years old but you just can't count that dude out Ward should beat him though...

    Showtime ****ed up,plain and simple.The tournament is a joke but the fights are interesting to a degree,but it certainly has not lived up to all the hype.
