    WTF? Abraham - Taylor was the cleanest fight in the tournament so far.

    I didn't see Ward - Kessler at first and read all these comments about his dirty tactics. When I watched the fight, I only saw punching while holding on Ward's part as intentional fouls. Sure, Kessler got cut but I didn't see intentional headbutting. Kessler is a little bit of a sore loser. He complained forever about his hand after the Calzaghe fight when he lost to fighter whose brittle hands basically took away all his power.

    That said, I do believe Abraham will knock out Ward.

    Yeah, "Mastermind" Abraham went 12 rounds with GOATs like Simon, S. Taylor and Ayala. He was wobbly against Simon (not seriously but wobbled), which was his toughest opponent so far.

    He looked very bad against Gevor in the earlier rounds too, and the brave but not very skilled Oral caught him sometimes with several punches.

    Abraham's best wins are Miranda II and J. Taylor, so you see, there's not "that" special output as measured by the hype goin' around the internet.

    Abraham

    Wards dirty tricks won't bother him to much

    He will stay composed and would catch him, if Ward attacked wide open like he did with Kessler

    I think he'll win the whole shebang at this point, but I think Dirrell has the best chance. Since they're best pals, the fight will probably be a stinker anyway (i.e., Ward won't pressure him effectively), and Dirrell has the edge on quickness and reach.

    Maybe Abraham KOs him. Ward doesn't have a great chin. But Abraham is just as predictable as Kessler, and I suspect Ward's camp would come up with some kind of strategy to neutralize Abraham and not get knocked out.

    Abraham fights dirty as hell. He throws the best right cross/right elbow combination in boxing. He once kneed a guy in the face when he kept coming in low. Seveal of his KO's came from elbows not punches. AA is very dirty. And Ward deserves to be forced to fight a guy who won't put up with his bull****.

    The only guy he would have to worry about is Abraham because he would have to fight very disciplined, but if he fights mistake free, he wins a wide decision.

    Froch would be a more difficult fight than Kessler, but I can see Ward's speed giving him the victory in this one, but I think Froch's toughness and style allow him to be suprisingly competitive, but Ward will still win a clear decision.

    Taylor won't win.

    Dirrell will run outta the ring to get away from Ward. Dirrell actually has the athleticsm to be better than Ward and he is a great technician, but he has no heart and very limited ring intelligence. I think Ward stops him.

    Dirrell or Abraham. Stylistically he's a bad match up for my boy Froch and Taylor is finished.

    Yeah, I don't see Froch beating Ward. Taylor? Probably not.

    Dirrell could do it if he fights a good fight. Abraham is a good match-up. :good

    I think Ward is the best of the bunch and think his style will match up well against Froch much like the Kessler fight. Dirrell fights more like Andre but I see Ward as the stronger man both mentally and physically. Taylor appears shot and has learned how to lose so my answer would be Abraham with a chance at a late rnd KO but I still favor Ward all the way.
