c'mon everybody, jump on.
leave the kessler one while you are at it.
:drive:
That would certainly give someone ammo for a styles make fights thread, how ****ed up will it get if the favorites in each fight get turned over. I will personally give up watching boxing if Ward does all the hard work only to get caught by a lucky shot from Froch in the final. Can you imagine how unbearable Froch would be if he fluked his way to a final win!!!!!
carl froch is probably the least gifted out of the six but i would find it hard to see who wants it more than carl.
Ward Direll will be good because to avoid a slow persons punches with not so good footwork is one thing but to avoid someone like Ward quick foot work and fast hands, I feel Ward will be the victor in this fight. I could be wrong still because Direll is quick himself, I just think Ward looks better on my opinon and is more rounded.
there will still be some interesting fights I wonder if Ward can beat Abrahams.
Absolutely, it will be a good fight, not one for everyones tastes, but a good match of skills
Dirrell's mistake was very basic, he fought like he had the belt and Froch was challenging him, and if that was the case, he would have done enough to win. Dirrell tried to fight like Hopkins vs Eastman, but that only works when you are the incumbent champ - you can agree or disagree but judges really like to see a metaphorical ripping away of the title (and I thought artistic impression was only scored in ice staking!!)
Ward vs Dirrell will be very interesting - Dirrell avoided a lot of Froch's stuff by a whisker - will he be able to do that against a more skillfull boxer like Ward? Interesting.

Avioding punches from a slow guy like Froch is one thing
Avoiding punches from a fast fighter like Ward, I think Ward will beat Direll badly personally
Let me in =D...
I was really surprised with Ward. I have only seen him on the fight against Miranda, and even though he clearly won, i wasn't impressed.
But against Kessler, Wow...what a boxing lesson. The guy is really good....Before this i thought AA would win this tournament, but now, i really want to him fight Ward. What a fight, 50-50 form me :boxing:
it is very early days yet.
taylor for the win haha.`

he'll change some things after he learned his lesson with the froch robbery.
he has the skills. all he has to do is use it properly.

anyone going to admit to it?
how anyone can hate on kessler seems crazy to me. seems a genuine guy and took a fight on which was stacked against him. i ain't even a kessler fan either.
That wagon will hopefully HUG dangerously close to a cliff face and fall into the abyss.
lmaoooo
word i got taylor over ward
ward isnt a real american hes a dirty dirty fighter who wiped his sweat on the american flag !
taylorrrrr:boxing:
I still have Abraham as my favourite and Ward is my second favourite,
Direll is not active enough
he'll change some things after he learned his lesson with the froch robbery.
he has the skills. all he has to do is use it properly.
Pretty much. It's crazy how the favorite drops down to the bottom with Taylor/Froch.
dammit. the 2 andres were my biggest worries for abraham too. :nonono:
arthur can do it. i believe! :headbang:
Triple-A Triangle.
kessler will NOT beat dirrell and abraham. we just saw that he won't be able to beat ward.
kessler is no longer an option to win this thing.
it's between the 2 andre boys and abraham.
Kessler will be back...
who cares?
he ain't winning this thing anyway.
he can't beat dirrell who is better than ward.
he definitely ain't beating abraham.
only question left is if ward can clinch and dirrell can run their way to victory against abraham.
taylor is shot and froch is garbage.
it's between the 2 andres and arthur.
