Ok guys, I know it's hard to predict bout outcomes without seeing the initial round of the super six tournament, but just for fun..try map out the entire bouts and winners of the Super Six tournament right up to the final.
I am using the group stage layout as leaked by boxingscene earlier this year.
I don't think many will agree with my stage 1 picks, let alone stage 2 and 3, but...
Here's mine...
Stage 1: Round 1
Taylor Vs Abraham -> Taylor (Points)
Dirrell Vs Froch -> Dirrell (Points)
Ward Vs Kessler -> Kessler (Points)
Stage 1: Round 2
Dirrell Vs Abraham -> Abraham (Late TKO)
Froch Vs Kessler -> Kessler(Points)
Ward Vs Taylor -> Taylor (Points)
*Revised Predictions for Round 2 (March 1st 2010)*
Dirrell UD Abraham
Kessler UD Froch
Ward UD Green
Stage 1: Round 3
Dirrell Vs Ward -> Dirrell (Points)
Taylor Vs Kessler -> Kessler (Points)
Froch Vs Abraham -> Draw
_____________________
End of Stage 1.

**Rematch**
2nd Seed (Abraham) Vs 3rd Seed (Dirrell) -> Dirrell (Points)
**Rematch**
The Final
Kessler Vs Dirrell
WINNER - KESSLER
As I said it's impossible to predict outcomes without seeing the first stage, but this is just on my ever changing gut feelings right now lol
Well, the finals are upon us.
I was going through this wonderful thread and couldn't help but notice the precisely accurrate predictions lol
I can't wait until tomorrow. This is a grown man's Christmas Eve.
LOL I love how I got probably 1 pick right out of everything. Shameful. But that was the beauty of the tournament.
I've enjoyed it all.
Can't wait either, pal!
Cliff Rold said that Froch won. Cliff Rold does not speak for all of boxingscene.
Also, if you going to get down to it, Dough Fischer, Michael Rosenthal, Gabe Montoya, Steve Kim, and Barry McGuigan had Froch losing.
but the ring side press had it for froch...
all three of the ringside press had it for froch infact....
most importantly thre judges had it for froch...and it goes down a a win...plus i had it 3 rounds to froch..and im more important than all of them..
you know what boxing scnen saw??boxing scene the website scored it to froch as did ******** boxing.. as did the ring side press, as id dan rafael and jimmy iowa...as did gary shaw to some effect as he admitted dirrell didnt do enough to win..
Calm down starjammer you have been seriously owned by me...regroup..in future agree with me and you ight actually start to make sense...
Take your loss on the chin..im just more intelligent than you...

I'm afraid you made up false information yet again Mr Shandy :)
I said Carl outjabbed Dirrell by one or two jabs only. ONE or TWO jabs. And you read TEN lmao.
And in the case of reality, YES a counter and legit punches from Dirrell are worth more than one or two jabs.
You need to turn your bullshit slimshandy translator off my son, because it is causing you some serious malfunctions.
Shame on you. The adventures of Slim Shandy continue again. But will his annoyance one day be silenced?
Not likely. Stupidity always raises its voice.
Unlike you, the Press articulates their freedom of opinion and leaves room for debate. In the SlimShandy world there is only one way, and if you don't agree I'm going to throw a tantrum.
I'm wise enough to know that just because the Press gave it to Froch does not mean I should automatically say 'Oh wait....I guess I got it wrong.'
I know what I saw...so does the majority of boxingscene, and the majority of fans no doubt, UNAFFECTED by the ridiculous, out-dated notion that a challenger must TAKE the title from a champion. Bullshit, nonsence and out of the rules of sport.
I think that's another victory for me.

:) Good man. I know you can argue about this fight forever, but I don't want to. I'm actually a fan of all fighters, not just one.
You take care of yourself, kid.
*starjammer translator on* i didnt actually watch the fight, and slims cottened on to the fact that im making up dirrell jabs, and i made a complete **** up on the "froch outjabbed dirrel but scored the round to dirrell thingy..Im losing badly so ill arse lick slim and then never debate with him again as hes to good." *starjammer translator off*
lmao. I hope Carl pays him well.
You will never win ur 'debate' Mr Shandy, because you have failed to change my opinion and the countless people who thought Dirrell won.
You ignore blatant evidence, and Dirrell's punches. I told you Dirrell's counters won the rounds. A jab is worth more than an actual punch or counter in your mind? Ok then...
.
lmao at this guy seething so much hes about to throttle himself...he spewing all sorts of dross now...
What so i land 10 jabs...you land one hook and that wins you the round...again you are looking so dumb it incredible...
I dont need to change your opinion because i can tell from your woeful posts that you knew froch won..and so you shoudl since most of the top pundits would agree with that outcome...
heres some homework for you to do starjammer..pm me your homework to me by 7.00 tommorro on the dot..
1)the best punch all match was frochs left hook...thats a fact..you tell me how long each clinch and hold dirrell does after that round 8 left hook..
2) froch outjabbed dirrell infact froch blatantly won the jab warfare..so heres my question...if the showtime pundits admit dirrell had swelling under the eye, a bloodied nose andlips..why would this be(answer within the question)
3) why did you imagine dirrell threw jabs where that was the punch he threw the least..???
4) why do you think if someone lands 10 solid jabs...but the other guy lands only one punch..you give the round to the one punch merchat???
Seriusly you not really watche dthe fight have you..your like samurai and allur...both thought dirrell did two accidnetal headbutts but fraudean slip showed they got mixed up with the kessler fight..
i have the ringside press on my side you have...errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
but i always win the debates...because i state facts..
I dont ay dumb things like that starjammer "froch outjabbed dirrell" then give a roud to dirrell...
Plus i dont make punches up...dirrells least effect punch was his jab..he barely threw them and when he did it was air he was punching yet according to bulshit seething starjamer it was his best weapon...
THe guy should find work that involves regularly playing on a motorway...

Please stop.
You're making Froch fans look bad.
slimshandy69 must be Rachael Cordingley.
I can't think of anybody else who'd have Froch's nuts that far down their throat.

The way you behave and ignore evidence, really you have no case or argument. You destroy your own argument.
You should re-group and re-strategise and try come back with a little manners and unbias. Then maybe you will be able to engage in a debate without throwing a tantrum. Just a tip for you.
Lmao. You are just a comedian. Dirrell didn't land any counter shots? lmao...go back down your hole, troll.
You asked for my assessment, and I gave it to you. Not my fault you can't take it.
You are too far up Froch's ass you can't see what Dirrell done during the fight. An unbiasd fan can see both.
You need to watch the fight again and see the punches that landed.
See how you are getting so mad that you resort to insults and childish tantrums...that shows me you are blindly devouted to your man, Carl Froch. You cannot judge the fight fairly under your conditions.
lmao at how much you are seething because i exposed you for making up imaginary punches...the fact that you are saying froch outjabbed dirrell but gave the round to dirrell shows you deserve to be sterilized..
the fact that this yank here..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxWNh7QjoKo
boxing scene, ea5t5ideboxing, allan green, dan rafael, graham houston, jimmy iowa, the RINGSIDE PRESS, and even gary shaw admitted dirrell didnt do enough shows that i am winning this debate...
The fact that the pundits admitted froch bloodied dirrell nose and lips after 4 rounds and swelled his eye after just 8, and that froch was unmakred after 12 again shows i won...
Stop seething...admit i was right and **** off..
no you are making things up...these jabs dirrells landing wtf are you on???hes not even throwing jabs let alone landing them...froch although fainting alot is throwing alot of jabs..and connecting hence why dirrell is bloodied after 4 rounds..and froch is not even grazed...
Round 3 is aload of bollow, froch lands by far the best shot..controls the ring..dirrell literally does **** all..
round 2 froch body worl is far better and gain lands better jabs...dirrells not even throwing so those punches you are making up must a wet dream...
Seriously you need to get your eyes and braintested....
now **** off you ugly ****er...
you know nothing about boxing...ou areliterally making up imaginary punches thrown by dirrell...
watch round 8...please tell me how many illegal hold dirrell does after the left hook..you know he should have been deducted a point in that round as well...

and dont even dare give round 9 to dirrell even the commentators say "theres a littel swelling under dirrells right eye"
trust me im glad your not a judge you woulod have robbed froch...
Alright then.
Round 1: Both fighters feeling eachother out. Froch wins the round by landing more jabs.
Round 2: Some jabs to the chest, body and glancing face by both fighters. I have Dirrell landing only two or three more jabs. But the short counter left on the inside when Froch leaps with his own left hook gives Dirrell the round.
Round 3: Round starts with a glancing straight left for Dirrell, barely grazing Froch. Jab from Froch. Jab from Dirrell, followed by short thump on inside to side of head. Froch lands glancing shots to Dirrell's chest.
Shot to the chest from Dirrell. Shot from Dirrell when against the ropes. Froch responds with a lunging, landing straight. Jabs to the body. Wide counter right hook from Dirrell.
I give the round to Dirrell for landing more.
Round 4: Meaningful straight lefts from Dirrell are blocked by Froch. A jab from Froch is countered by a left hook and a straight right from Dirrell. Two jabs land from Dirrell. Another jab grazes for Dirrell. A light hook from a jab lands for Froch. Good jab from Froch.
Jab from Froch again, but Dirrell counters with a straight right. Glancing body shot from Froch. Jab from Froch. Good jab from Dirrell. Jab for Froch again. Froch tries a combo with Dirrell on the ropes but Dirrell makes him miss.
Carl outjabs Dirrell this round by 1 or 2 jabs, but Dirrell has landed a nice counter left and two straight right hands. Froch's best punch is a light left-hook and a glancing body shot.
I give Dirrell the round.

I guess you see it completley differently. And thats why boxing fans have seen two different fights, we're all looking for different things.
