Super Middle Tournament Second set of matches!

Ok everyone the first set of the tournament is almost over. (I got one of the two right in my predictions and am still waiting on the final fight in the first set. I still think Ward will lose.) anyway here are the results for round 1. (What are your predictions for The Second set of matches??) and for the final set of round one? (Kessler vs. Ward??) 1. Jermain Taylor vs. Arthur Abraham (win Abramahm 3 points) Ko Taylor 2. Carl Froch vs. Andre Dirrell (Win: Carl Froch 2 points) 3. Mikkel Kessler vs. Andre Ward (Prediction Kessler fight pending!!) Point totals thus far and lead by points 1. Arthur Abraham 3 points (Leader) 2. Carl Froch 2 Points (Second Place) 3. Mikkel Kessler Pending (Someone will fall from third after their match) 3. Andre Ward Pending (Someone will fall from third after their match) 4. Jermain Taylor 0 points (Lost so he is tied for last with Dirrell) 4. Andre Dirrell 0 points (Lost so he is tied for last with Taylor) Second Set of Matches Andre Dirrell vs. Arthur Abraham Mikkel Kessler vs. Carl Froch Jermain Taylor vs. Andre Ward Predictions I think that out of the second set of matches the matches will go as so 1. Andre Dirrell vs. Arthur Abraham -Andre Dirrell will lose to Arthur Abraham. I just dont see Dirrell winning this, he spent most of the match against Froch complaining to the referee and running. (There is a difference in being an elusive master like Winky Wright or James Toney, They stay right there in your face and don't get hit.) Dirrell should not be compared in the same likes as defensive wizards such as them. He was very clumsy on his feet and awkward and I honestly don't see him winning this.) Stick and move not fall, trip and run. Dirrell really needs spend some time in the gym working on footwork and balance Predicted Winner: Abraham (Probably by knockout again) 2. Mikkel Kessler vs. Carl Froch - I think that Mikkel Kessler will take this one. Carl Froch is a gutsy guy with a good chin who wants to get in and fight. He doesnt have much talent when it comes to boxing and footwork etc but the guy has a lot of heart and wants to get in there and slug with you. If Kessler stands in there and brawls with him then perhaps things may go differently. But I see Kessler actually winning and suing his nogging to take this one. Predicted Winner: Kessler 3. Jermain Taylor vs Andre Ward - Very tough to make a call on this one as Jermain Taylor is often his own worst enemy. He cannot seem to make it past 8 rounds without passing out from exhaustion or simply being knocked out because he ran out of gas. Ward is still inexperienced and he won matches against some B level opponents but I still have not seen him in a fight where he really had to use his talents to win the fight. (The kind that actually put his skills to the test). before I predict on this match I would want to see the Ward vs. Kessler to determine where Wards true abilities stand in comparison to the other fighters or if he is all hype or just average or a superstar. If I had to make a prediction now, my predicition would be Ward Preditiction: Ward, When taylor gases out it will give ward a chance to take the later rounds and win the fight. But then again Ward is not a pressure style fighter nor is he a bomber when it comes to punching. When fighting a paced fight against those who dont hit hard or pressure him, Taylor can coast through to victories. That may be the case but after being shell-shocked so many times back to back to back, the little faith I had in Taylor no longer exist. (One thing is for certain, he has zero chance of winning the tournament unless he gets the council to change the fights to six round fights instead of twelve)
