Froch said he would quit because he thought he got robbed against Kessler. Abraham wants to quit because he knows he aint got the boxing skills to compete in this tournament and he doesn't.
So this would mean Johnson would move up to 3rd in the rankings and fight Froch, whilst Green (lol) would move to 4th and fight Ward again? Ward gets some easy fucking fights.
ward might just win,but froch has shown he can stick to a game plan and box,albiet agaisnt a crude "king".
but i dont like ward being assosiated with conte,whats up with that,every athlete should now that guy is garbage by now!.hmm.
Interesting. Abraham scored 325 points vs. Froch, so that puts him at a total of 1002 scorecard points.
I don't know how I feel about Johnson inheriting Kessler's points. Especially because he inherited more points 679, than Abraham had after 2 group stages, 677. I think that's pretty weak. Why would Johnson, a late replacement for group stage 3 inherit more scorecard points than an active participant? Makes no sense, but whatever.
I kinda agree with you. I cannot see how a fighter with only one tournament fight should get any advantage whatsoever.
Allan Green is a bum, I agree. Sakio Bika is on the same level as Arthur Abraham.
Either way, the American flag will by flying alone at the end of the Super Six. America is hungry.
we know this tournaments fixed thats why
congratulations ward for winning the supersix by not fighting a single threat or leaving your home town.
No, because you always start with the same amount of points as the lowest pointholder. So that's why he started with 0 points because Allan Green had zero points. I don't see why he would pick up Kessler's scorecard points, but not his standings points.
This is the scorecard points that Johnson earned for the Green fight...
Johnson takes Kessler's score but not the points. Here's Cliff Rold's outline:
SCENARIO #3: FROCH WINS IN A FIGHT THAT LASTS ELEVEN COMPLETED ROUNDS
Here’s where things get a bit messy, though not really.
A Froch decision win earns the Brit the #2 seed in the tournament and keeps Ward at the top, no matter how you slice it. He will have four tournament points with a decision, five with a knockout. Either will leave him just shy of Ward (#1), but ahead of Abraham and Johnson, who are left to battle it out on paper via tiebreaker procedures.
Abraham and Johnson will both have the same amount of points (three) and knockouts (one), which means it will come down to aggregate scorecard points total. That amount is comprised of the combined total of points a fighter earns on the scorecards in each bout, plus additional points rewarded for unscored rounds in fights that end prior to the distance.
That Johnson inherits Kessler’s aggregate scoring total (though not his actual tournament points) puts the pressure on Abraham to simply win his fight.
Kessler had 679 combined points prior to dropping out of the tournament. Johnson amassed 350 points in the fight with Green – 200 actual scorecard points, plus 150 extra points based on 10 points awarded to the winner per each unscored round on each scorecard (rounds eight through twelve).
That puts the veteran at 1,029 total points; Abraham is currently at 677 points, which leaves him 352 shy of Johnson’s tally (for those at home struggling with the math).
As you cannot score more than 360 points in a 12-round fight, Abraham would have to be pitching a shutout and avoid getting dropped or suffering point deductions before getting stopped or disqualified in the 12th round in order to mathematically surpass Johnson’s total.
Otherwise, he’s looking at a scenario where a loss drops him down to the #4 seed, where he would face #1 seed Ward, while #2 seed Froch would square off against #3 seed Johnson.
Such would be the ultimate fall from grace, as he was in the lead from the very first fight last October up until Ward’s second tournament win in late June.
AA has been schooled twice now and Ward is up next......
Really? Ward next? I would quit too because AA style puts him at a disadvantage against boxers or slick stance.
Uhh, Ward fought and shutout Mikkel Kessler. The same Mikkel Kessler that beat Froch.
Try again limey.
Ward is the best in the division in my opinion though I find him boring to watch.
AA put on a horrible performance, he looked like Joshua Clottey in there against Dirrell and Froch.
Naah he was worse at least clottey landed more than a few shots.
Arthur looked like a heavy bag.
A totally dejected AA just told the german interviewer that he would quit the tournament!
man, what a fukkin quitter. get bute's punk ass in the tournament!!!!
How does Johnson get ranked ahead of Abraham? They both have 1 KO. Abraham has won more rounds in the tournament than Johnson. Abraham gets the tiebreaker over Johnson.
Danish television had that score. Didn't Johnson get Kessler's rounds?
He can't beat anyone left in the 6. I called that he would lose these last 2 fights.
I've never been impressed by him. I think he just got a lucky string of fights which really propelled how good people thought he was.
TBH I'm not even sure he was beating Taylor before he got that KO.
Is Johnson vs Froch next? I sure hope so, I think Johnson will tear him up.
