I feel Showtime have done this smartly, they know the tourney won't end until 2011 at which time Kessler, Froch and Taylor will be ageing, and they don't see Abraham as a massive threat, but they have thrown these 2 young American up and comers, undefeated and hungry who in 2 years time as the tourney reaches the finals will be at their prime. Very clever....

I can't argue their talent, and I do agree they will improve along the way.
That aside I still think it would be difficult to make it to the semi’s, Dirrell never went 12 rounds, Ward looked tired in his late rounds, while Kessler, Froch and Abraham all show excellent stamina, with lots of late ko's.
To reach the final they will have to box within the next 12 month.I cant see them succeeding!!!
I think they're good enough to pick up a few points before the semis start.
