Ward-Taylor and Kessler-Froch to be doubleheader on April 17.

According to BILD Mikkel Kessler's fight with Carl Froch and Andre Wards fight with Jermain Taylor has been pushed to April 17. It will be a doubleheader on SHOWTIME. Arthur Abrahams fight with Andre Direll is moved from January to March 6. That fight is likely to be staged at a Palm Springs Casino. I pick Ward by submission over Taylor and Kessler and Froch after watching Kesslers and Frochs last fights not sure..should be action though.

kessler will ko froch ward should beat taylor,probably by decision

Carl Froch will defend his WBC super-middleweight title against Mikkel Kessler in Copenhagen on 17 April. For both fighters it is their second appearance in the Super Six super-middleweight tournament. Nottingham's Froch opened his campaign with a scrappy points victory over Andre Dirrell in October while Dane Kessler was upset by Andre Ward. Defeat for Kessler would almost certainly end his hopes of making the semi-finals of the Super Six. Froch's promoter Mick Hennessy said: "We've confirmed a date of 17 April. It will take place in Denmark and will be on at around 10pm in the evening UK time which is great news for British fight fans. "It's going to be an absolutely massive event and it should attract a huge audience. It's an incredible fight between two of the world's best and most exciting fighters. "Carl proved with that sensational KO over Jermain Taylor that he can go into the lion's den and beat the very best in the world and I've no doubt he'll prove that again against Kessler." Froch, 32, fought Taylor in Mashantucket, Connecticut in April, coming from behind and knocking the former middleweight king out in the dying seconds to retain his world title. He then beat Dirrell on a split decision at the Trent FM Arena to remain undefeated in 26 fights. Pre-tournament favourite Kessler, however, was totally outclassed by former Olympic champion Ward in November before losing on a technical decision, losing his WBA belt in the process. I still have hopes for 'The Wounded Warrior'.

Taylor doesn't lose to Black fighters B.Hop beat him.....but they stole it......you know the story!!

Seems a little far away. But whatever thats cool wish all three fights could be on the same night though. Kessler had two bad cut against Ward.

Before Kessler fought ward i thought Kessler would win the whole thing...but now i wouldn't be surprised if froch beats him :frown:

Wow!!! FROCH-KESSLER is one of the best action fights to be made in Boxing right now. I got KESSLER by Decision Kessler should "andrade" him but I think he will really go for the KO late in the fight, he needs the extra point at this stage.

This sounds great. I love this tournament. Me too... i wish i could find some dam bets...lol.

There is no way JT is going to be able to continue in this touny. I wish they would just make it offical already. It is bullshit if Allan Green gets in without at least a fight with Bika.

This sounds great. I love this tournament.

i hope bute jumps in for taylor i cant believe taylor is actually going through the fight...

Kessler should pull a 'Andrade' on Froch, he just stands infront of him.

Wright was beating Taylor until he took the 12th round off. and Spinks comfortably beat him. But Dirrell-Abraham seems like the most interesting matchup in Stage2 the other matches the writings are on the wall You're kidding...AA is gonna murder Dirrel, if he can catch him!

If Taylor's going to continue in this, with his fight being moved from March to April, he would be smart to schedule a tune-up in January (if his contract with Showtime allows it). He needs to rediscover his offense and regain some confidence in a bad way. A showcase fight in front of hometown fans would be really beneficial to him on multiple levels, assuming he doesn't get cut up.

As bad as Kessler and Froch looked in their last fights, I think it'll be a good fight.

That's perfect. I will go to Kessler-Froch for sure now. Barring any misfortune due to bad betting beforehand :) I expect us to hook up! :beerchug:
