Finish Line Within Reach For Showtime Tournaments
By Jake Donovan - At last, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Showtime cleared a major hurdle last month after the completion of Andre Ward’s dominant Super Six semifinal win over Arthur Abraham. Sure there were pre-fight talks of Abraham’s camps whining about officials, but the two combatants showed up as scheduled when all was said and done, paving the way for an eventual finale later this year. With that win out of the way, Ward now awaits the winner of this weekend’s showdown between Carl Froch and Glen Johnson, which airs live on Showtime from the Adrian Phillip Ballroom at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. While Ward awaits the winner, fans breathlessly await what on paper figures to be the most exciting of all of the Super Six matchups to date. The added bonus is that at stake is a spot in the Super Six finals, one that has picked up steam now that the tournament is back in full flow. On the bracket front, it’s not the only good piece of news to come from America’s #1 Boxing Network in recent days. Late last week, it was confirmed that the Showtime Bantamweight Tournament now has a penciled-in date for its delayed finale, as undefeated Abner Mares and defending two-time titlist Joseph King Kong Agbeko are set to square off on August 13 at a site to be determined.
