I need to see how Dirrell fights against Ward before I would say that about him. If he displays the confidence and smarts he did against Abraham, then I'll say yes, either Ward or Dirrell wins this tournament.
What's your unbiased take on Kessler-Green and do you reckon Kessler will underestimate him?
I'm pretty sure Green will give his all in this fight after the Ward fiasco. This is his final career chance of boxing glory.
I think Kessler knocks him out easily inside of 6 rounds.
I had to laugh out loud at the statement "Green will give his all".
Green's all is about 10% of the effort that you saw from both Kessler and Froch in their fight.
Just like Green, this is Kessler's last shot at glory. Just like with Andre Dirrell, Kessler has no room to let his guard down after a big win in the 2nd round because either guy will likely be heading home should they lose their 3rd round fight.
If you are expecting Green to come out and push Kessler to his limits you are going to be sorely disappointed.
Kessler knows Green is a headcase, he has watched all of the fights where Green capitulates to an opponent who shows a strong desire to win.
He will come out early and bring the fight to Green and Green will be happy to quit in the early rounds, take his 10 count, collect his paycheck, make some excuses and then go home.
Nah, if you look back at my posts I was saying Green was a bum all along.
Many people were excusing his loss to Miranda because of health problems but I was pretty adament in saying that he quit on himself in that fight and would do it again... and would have an excuse for it.
Of course Green had his excuses ready... overtraining and some other garbage.
Anyone who was high on Green going in was probably already high on a different kind of green if you catch my drift.

Yeah he did suck against Ward. Still a lot of posters were pretty high on Green as he entered the tournament. I cannot remember if you were one of them. You probably weren't.

Kessler should just thank God for this easy win and the points.
The guys who get to face that bum are at a distinct advantage over Dirrell and Froch who have not, and will not, have an easy fight in the entire competition.

I think Green underacheived big time against Ward. I'm not taking anything away from Ward who nullified Green completely by going inside. But Green's will to win left a lot to be desired. Next time against Kessler he knows it's all or nothing. A big KO from him would catapult him up to be a force to be reckoned with.

i still think green can ko kessler
detroit would be cool hopefully without the referee for the dirrell vs abraham fight
Yeah that was one of the worst jobs by a referee in recent memory. Out of position several times including at the end and failing to call 2 KD's was bad.
I don't think Froch or Green have very much of a chance at all. Froch has a better chance than Green though, because even if both lose their next fights (even by KO), Green's 108-120 score cards against Ward pretty much ruined his chance because Froch won more rounds in his fights, so he'd get to advance.
As for Froch, I can't see him beating Ward unless he cracks his chin, and I think Abraham will knock him out.

Still undecided. As far as I know Detroit has NOT been ruled out.
Topic: The winner should be favoured to win, but not by much. I still say anybody can win this tournament. I love it.

From what I have seen thus far the only way I see anyone other than Ward winning this tournament is if Ward ends up having to fight one of the Euros in Europe. Otherwise, I think Ward takes it home.
