    Considering i'm a Brit seeing Froch destroy an overrated yank has to be number 1 :good

    But I can't wait to see Kessler-Ward and AA-Taylor may prove to be an intruging fight.

    Thats the great thing about this tournament....EVERY FIGHT is one you would want to see.

    Taylor/Abraham.
    In my opinion the outcome of the other two is a foregone conclusion. Ward and Dirrel are in way over their heads. (They could surprise me)

    Kessler/Ward is the one that will tell us the most about the tournament, I believe.

    AA - Taylor is the pick of the first round. Both have a point to prove.

    AA TKO 10

    Ward - Kessler

    Dirrell - Froch

    Taylor - Abraham

    In that order.

    I like Ward vs Kessler. Very intriguing matchup. Hard to predict how their styles will mesh. I think the winner of this one wins the whole thing.

    Kessler vs Ward

    Ward has all the makings of a spoiler in this tournament, Kessler likely won't do enough against Gusmyl "The Man Beast' Perdomo to completely work off the rust. Ward can really shock (or shook up da) world here if all the cards to fall into play.

    Taylor vs Abraham is the 2nd most anticipated match up for me. Taylor can single handedly save his career (and win the hearts of all Pavlik fans) if he can beat Abraham. On the other hand, Abraham can wipe Taylor off the face or relevancy with a big KO win and announce himself on the big stage in America.

    Froch vs Dirrell is 3rd but barely. Froch is a beast and Dirrell is good but they lack the spark of the first two fights.

    I say Kessler vs Ward cause of styles. But i want to know is how can Kessler prepare to fight Ward in november if he has a fight schedule in september vs his Mandatory challenger? It be like 2 month of training to prepare for Ward. <<<<That is not good imo.
