My question is "do you think the super six point system was right to be used or would the tournament have benefitted from an elimination type of deal"?
I only ask this because the tournament kept running into problems with fighters dropping out everytime you turned around.

Can't have a bracket like that with only 6 fighters, they would have had to add two fighters or drop two.
I liked how it all went down.
There was a lot of drama throughout and the right two fighters made it through to the end. The fact that the tournament is actually completed with the finals underway is a huge achievement. Showtime should be proud.
That being said, I feel a KO loss should mean auto-elimination, and really it sort of unofficially progressed that way anyways.
Jermain Taylor, KO, left the tourney
Allen Green, KO, left the tourney
Andre Dirrell, KO(yeah I know), left the tourney
I don't know... I think they got lucky that 2 originals were in the finals.
I think instead of replacing guys that leave, they should just take those guys out... If so, than its makes sense... 3 fights each point system works out. The just better prey that there r no ties...
That being said, I think single elimination is the best way to go about the first round. Than make a point system for the second... That would speed things up
Elimination would have been good. Do away with any seeding or points, just pull names out of the hat and fight until the last man is standing.
In that sort of format though 8 fighters would have been a good number. You could have the whole first round on one card! Imagine that, 4 quality fights on one card in one night.
