Abraham, Froch, Kessler, More Tourney Details Leak

[Cadillac Man]

Keep ur fingers crossed it happens... This is what Boxing needs to do have promoters and networks work together. Makes no sense for them not to work together.

i might put a small amount on Taylor winning.

Taylor ain't winning **** he won't make it past Arthur.

[S.G.]

Taylor ain't winning **** he won't make it past Arthur.

Abraham's too stationary to beat Taylor. Too passive as well

Taylor beats him on points if he comes in at least at an equal level to what he did against Froch

with a slightly altered game plan Taylor beats Froch

Kessler/Taylor is roughly 50/50 to me

[Clegg]

Yeah, I would give Taylor a very good chance against AA.

JT has stamina problems, but Abraham is hardly a high-workrate kind of guy. If he didn't get caught (and that's a big if, of course) then I think JT could beat him on points.

One word to describe this tourney:

EPIC!!

[MJ406]

My deal is what if Abraham ko's Taylor, then Ward ko's Taylor? That would be 3 ko losses in a row. What would be the point of Kessler-Taylor? This sounds great on paper until you stop and think about it for a little bit. Then you realize how little sense it makes.

some of the finer details need to be worked out, to avoid some of these potentially bad situations.

they say that they want the Tourney to not be single elimination

why not do a double elimination, or better yet getting kayoed twice is an automatic elimination from the Tourney.

Since Friday, BoxingScene.com has been breaking the details on the hottest story in boxing - Showtime's super middleweight tournament, which involves IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham, WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler, former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor, undefeated contender Andre Ward, undefeated contender Andre Dirrell and WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch. [details]

I'm a big Taylor fan but his chances of winning the thing are low considering fighters who KO their opponents get extra points and Taylor hasn't KO'd anyone in 5 years.

Yeah, I would give Taylor a very good chance against AA.

JT has stamina problems, but Abraham is hardly a high-workrate kind of guy. If he didn't get caught (and that's a big if, of course) then I think JT could beat him on points.

I agree.

Plus JT would be going in as a huge underdog, especially in Germany. He's far more dangerous as an underdog than as the favorite.

He needs Pat Burns back in his corner though, in a bad way.

bloody hell, not on the subject but has anyone realised how similar james degale and andre ward look, they could be brothers
