the super 6 was a total failure - Thanks to Dirrell and Ward

Dirrell and Ward have enough boringness in them to ruin the sport of boxing. They are utterly disrespecting and disregarding boxing fans who pay to watch boxing for the excitement and entertainment it is suppose to bring. We can never understand how an Oscar winner who did more running than boxing inside the ring, would still have his loyal fans. We are really saddened by the fact that a headbutting bum, who in a single fight had already clinched more than PAC has during his entire career so far, is now leading the tournament.......... The official "Sour Grapes" thread

Whats so funny is that somebody actually posted that these excessive clinching and running is what is called "boxing" nowdays. what is boxing in your opinion. going toe to toe?

Andre Ward with his constantly holding his opponents' arms, and Andre Dirrill with his running and childlike behavior are definitely the two most BORING boxers in the Super Six. Whats so funny is that somebody actually posted that these excessive clinching and running is what is called "boxing" nowdays.

the sad thing really is the fact the some people think two SLOW GUYS standing toe to toe and throwing wild punches until someone goes down, is "Boxing" that is not Boxing that is BRAWLING, if I wanted to see two slow guys with limited boxing skills fight, I can always go watch the UFC a lot of people don't understand WTF they are watching, they think a guy is suppose to hit and get hit and that is "Boxing"...Boxing is more then just that, footwork is apart of boxing, head movement is apart of boxing, DEFENSE (which many boxers today DON'T Have) is apart of boxing, CLINCHING is apart of boxing, Clinch goes all the way back to the Jack Johnson vs James Jefferess in 1910 if some people actually understood WTF they was watching they wouldn't complain about certain fighters style as much

Allen green has been the only bad part about the tournament.

Yep, they totally ****ed it up. It's not even competitive because of them.

The sad reality is, they call it sweet science it is the sweet science, hit without getting hit is the name of the game. if u want guys just slugging it out constantly your not a boxing fan, a toe to toe battle is great sometimes but a real fan can appreciate a guy boxing and moving aswell. u are obviously not a boxing fan, i u just want random violence watch some internet street fights instead.

I like Dirrell. Not so much Ward though. he has a boring Bernard Hopkins style of fightning..

Americans SHOULD fight toe to toe, but instead they run and "box" like cowards... FACT. The sad reality is, they call it sweet science

co-sign and you can add Jermaine Taylor to the list Froch, Abraham and Kessler have made it worth watching. Why? because they're fighters not runners. It's no wonder boxing is losing out to UFC in the US if this is the kind of boxer they push, the general public don't want to watch a snoozefest. That's why foreign fighters like Pac/Cotto generate all the interest. how is jermain taylor a runner? jermain taylor is a warrior with a kill or die mentallity who never ducked anyone and always comes to fight. taylor is as much a fighter as anyone in the tournament. ward isnt a runner at all eighter, dirrell runs sometimes but when hes at his best hes the most entertaining fighter in the super six by far. The word "entertainment" is subjective. I enjoy examples of technical skill that others would claim "boring". exactly. boxing is the art of hitting without getting hit, if u just want random violence and cant appreciate skills which is what boxing is all about maybe u should go to the ufc instead. fans like u are bad for boxing anyways.

I won't say it's been a failure but it has not produced the exciting fights a hoped for...dirrell/froch was terrible.Andre ran allnight & the end of the Abraham fight was lame.none of the fights have been very good...I use to be skeptical of bute after first andrade fight but he sure made me a believer after his last few fights.he's the best & will have a chance to pickup 2 more titles when he fights the supersix winner.

Usa ftw :)

I disagree. I love Dirrell and he should be the no.1 guy in the super six now. I think the Froch-Dirrell robbery messed things up. And what a robbery it was!

I sense some hate for Americans. I could care less what race someone is, or the country they fight for. But like Dirrell did against King Arthur... even if it had gone to the cards I would have hated to see Arthur lose like that. Trinidad/DLH is a perfect example, I'm PR/Cuban a huge Tito and DLH fan, but you can't sit here and tell me DLH deserved to win that fight. He didn't deserve to lose it as he was up on the cards, and I had him winning at the time, but when I saw him RUN for last 4 rounds... He shouldn't have lost but I don't think he deserved a victory either. AA deserved the suspension, but I will always respect him more than I will Dirrell, and its not just the running either. Turning your head as your opponent punches then you complain to the ref about it... Come on man.

I sense some hate for Americans.

We can, but running non-stop like Dirrell does only makes me appreciate than I can run from a fight too. Give me a boxer like Bute who stands in the pocket, uses his legs, but also picks his spots. Or the Mayweather who fought Gatti, thats the true art I respect, but simply running for 12 rounds to not get hit is incredibly boring and something I could do. And the funny pasrt is, some fans claim this running job made them a fan. They even deny that Dirrell did some acting there to get king Arthur dq'd

It's sad today that boxing fans can't appreciate fighters who don't go toe to toe. We can, but running non-stop like Dirrell does only makes me appreciate than I can run from a fight too.
