So far the Super 6 tournament has thrown up a few surprises. Arthur Abraham has been defeated, so has Kessler and Froch. Dirrell, while looking good in both fights is only 1-1. The tournament has also claimed the casualty of Jermain Taylor. While Andre Ward has perhaps come out looking the best so far, at the end of the tournament, who will come out worst? Will Kessler and Froch be exposed? Will Dirrell be seen as a coward? Does Allen Green get schooled from here on in? Or does Ward suffer a defeat and lose the tournament altogether, missing his big chance to shine? Ive gone for Froch. I think he may get KOed against Abraham, which, IMO, will pretty much make it an impossibility for him to come back and challenge the big boys as he would have lost his two biggest fights
I think Froch... He lost his title and I think he will get KO'd by Arthur. Second Dirrell, I guess his lack off experience and heart will have the negative edge over his obvious talent. He will probably lose a SD or close UD to Ward and end up having to prove himself again.
Agreed Taylor has definitely come off the worst as he pulled out. He seems the clear 'loser' so far, which is why i didnt put him the poll as his fate has already been sealed. These other 6 all have a chance to redeem themselves, and lose everything they worked hard to gain
I think Froch will come out the worst in this tournament. I see him getting KO'd by Abraham. Froch is very easy to hit and while his chin is decent, no way can it stand against the power of Abraham. If Taylor can rock Froch and knock him down, Abraham will put him to sleep.
Lucian Bute. Not meant as a joke. Bute in my opinion is the best at 168 right now. However six of the best boxers at 168 are tied up for a while. He is going to have to go up to 175 or catchweight 170 soon to get any real chlagnges.
You really have to fear for Carl Froch now. It dont look good for Dirrell either because i think Ward will beat him
Green was put in there to get crippled, poor guy. (watch this thread get bumped with Green having knocked out everybody and won in a shocker)
Green, Froch or Dirrell will be available soon. Bute doesn't have to go to 175. If I were his promoter and HBO, I wouldn't want Bute to fight Dawson right now. I'd wait for him to face the super six winner. The best SMW would then take Dawson. That'd be a big fight.
Taylor, of course. Kessler: he lost the number one spot, should win easily against Green but then will lose again against Ward. I see him finishing 3rd amongst the super six. Dirrell: depends on his fight against Ward. He could have 2 victories already. He's not a loser so far in my eyes. Froch is already a loser, with a very close win against a green Dirrell and a loss against Kessler. Abraham will not be a winner. He'll prove to be a top 10 but many other SMW can win against him. Ward will for sure.
Thats a fair point, i didnt consider Bute. But whoever goes out in the next round could/should be an opponent in the near future ie. Bute vs Froch/Dirrell/ Abraham
The way it looks right now, Froch will probably get the hardest time of the six But AA have not been close to victory yet, with out rely on the knock out chance to come around! I hardly believe he can beat the last four all by stoppage.. So i pick either Froch or AA to come out worst in the end!
