Well I'll put my neck on the blocks by saying Froch. Mark my words I will find this post if he were to! Take aim.........
At this point, I would slightly favor Ward over Abraham. The dark horse is Dirrell; we'll have to see how much he learns from his loss to Froch. By the end of the fight (regardless of your overall impression of the match) it was clear he began sitting down on his punches and dominating. If he can translate that into a well integrated fight plan, then his physical talent could trouble anyone.
Ward, he handled Kessler rather easy and I don't see any of the others beat him on points. Abraham has always a punchers chance, but is too slow imo to catch Ward. www.redtrianglebooks.com
I personally think kessler will come again. Everyone is looking at kessler as a shot fighter based on 1 performance. Having said that I feel Froch will beat him. I think Kessler will KO JT in round 3 provided JT is still in the tournament. I think this is likely because I believe JT will turn in a good performance against Ward. That could be enough to get Kessler through to the semi's and if he were to draw Abrahams then I could see him winning that. Ward was all wrong for Kessler and he was far from his best.
aurther will win, i can see kessler giving him problems, and maybe dirrell, but will win the tournament.
