Congratulations to Andre Ward! I was wrong. He pulled off the upset. Something I did not foresee. With that out the way. What the hell is up with the Super Six? I expected this tourny to be a bit of fireworks. Alla Pac Vs Cotto. So far it hasn't been close. First with had Taylor Vs Abraham. Taylor wouldn't or couldn't let his right hand go. Shot like De La Hoya? Then we had Dirrel running around like a headless chicken. When by my thoughts could have KO'd Froch. And now with this. We have Kessler fight the worst fight of his entire career. Did we witness a fighter getting old before our eyes? I know some will be saying he never was but when you watch past fights, he was. Hell ask Manny Steward. What a let down this fight was. Though now I am intrigued by Dirrel Vs Ward. Both have similar styles. Ward showed more will to take the round but also showed a few bad habits. One is the extended arm. If abroad he will get deducted a point for either that or leading with his head. Which is the second bad habit. What happned to Kesslers uppercuts? Dirrel better let a few loose or I will just have to give up one the Super Six. Maybe Wards performance will make Dirrel man up and be willing to fight Ward. Though it could be a snore since who will come forward... Even Taylor would have beat Kessler Saturday night... I HOPE the 2nd round brings the "F! this I am going out on my sheild" type of fights... Again Congrats to the Ward camp.
Taylor lacks stamina, that's the issue with him, we saw early he actually gave Abraham trouble and looked to be winning early till he had to take some shots and faded. Can't go far that way. Froch is a tomato can, I don't really need to add any more there. Kessler is good but Ward shocked us all, who expected Ward to be able to do that in his 21st fight?, people thought he would get KO'd cold within 4 rounds at most and to be honest I thought so as well at some point. They don't give gold medals for free after all, can't say the same about Audley Harrison though who DEFINITELY has ability but lacks desire. Ward showed a lot of desire with vengeance, he had Kessler rocked/stunned early from single shots and he had huge gloves. Expect far more from Ward, this is one hell of a confidence builder, he can't ask for better.
I think the super 6 just got interesting with Ward schooling Kessler. Kessler should come back and beat Froch and the next round will be all good fights. Super 6 rocks mate.....dont know what your talking about :huh
