Who will be eliminated from the Super Six after 3 stages?

Yeah maybe I was a little harsh, but goddamn man, got Irish dudes telling me the USA is falling off boxing because Ireland wins more amatuer tournaments. :rofl

 

Taylor and Dirrell

 

Taylor and froch

 

Taylor, no question. And, off his last performance, I'd go with Kessler

 

Really? Dirrell's career will be in pieces after he walks away from the Super 6 0-3. His only chance against AA is to run the whole fight and hope the home town judges actually accept it.

 

Still I think I overreacted. But goddamn, they were picking Kessler to KO Chad Dawson did you see that thread?

 

Hometown judges? They're fighting in California. To a Michigan cat, they might aswell be fighting in the Balkans.

Even if Dirrell goes 0-3, he has more talent in his pinky toe then the city of Nottingham has combined.

He'll be world champ, even if it doesnt happen in this tournament, but seeing as how he'll beat Abraham and Ward, I dont need to worry too much.

 

And who says talent is enough?

To be honest I don't know Dirrell well and Froch was the fight I saw him in, but his ring antics and his post-fight interview (whine) makes me think he needs to toughen up to be champ. And the curve is too steep in the Super 6. AA is a beast and Ward showed so much against Kessler - totally dominating a strong champ.

 

I went with Ward and Froch.

Froch loses to AA and Kessler, probably by KO to both of them. Of course he's a guy that can pull off a major upset out of nowhere, so we shall see.

I think Ward loses to Dirrell. Ward is smarter but has a disadvantage in athleticism and especially in power. If the fight goes 12 rounds, Ward wins it, but if there's a stoppage (which I think there will be), Dirrell will be the winner.

I'm also thinking Ward will lose to Taylor. Taylor struggles with tough guys who have a lot of power, and Ward has neither power or toughness. Taylor has been in with the best, many many times, which I think will negate Ward's phenomenal ring smarts. I'm picking Taylor to knock him out.

I think it'll end up with points as follows: Kessler 6, AA 8, Froch 2, Dirrell 3, Ward 2, Taylor 3.

Kessler and AA are making it to the semis for sure unless Kessler proves totally shot. The other 4 guys are going to have 1 win each, so knockouts are going to be huge. I'm not betting my car on things turning out this way, but it's just the way I think things will go given what we've seen so far.

 

jermain and froch for sure

 

I see a lot of talk about how the "euro's" acted towards your predictions over Ward beating Kessler ect before the fight, but aint you doing the same by dismissing Froch so easily? If Froch wins is it justified to have someone post about how the "americans" acted about Froch? vicious cycle
