Will Dirrell and Ward steal the show?

[Bhopreign]

Froch doesnt beat Dirrell unless he KO's him, otherwise I see Dirrell taking it and can see him really delivering a beat to Froch.

Dirrell and Ward haven't faced top opposition in their careers yet. I woudn't be surprised if they both get beaten pretty comprehensively.

Dirrells last fight - Derrick Findley - Potential next fight - Carl Froch

Wards last fight - Miranda - Potential next fight - Mikkel Kessler

The step up is huge, especially for Dirrell. At least Ward has a semi-decent win over the very average Miranda.

Who has Kessler been fighting??????

NOBODY.

Instead of facing Miranda...he RAN to europe to fight a gypsy day-laborer they put gloves on 15 minutes before the fight.

This obviously relates to the super middleweight tournament. Although there are some seasoned pros in the competition, I believe that the superior boxing skills lie with the two Andres. This is by no means intended to be a thread favoring American fighters, however the way I see it is that the two most skilled and least tested guys are Dirrell and Ward.

As it's currently slated, the match-ups are as follows:

For Dirrell: Froch, Abraham, Ward.

For Ward: Kessler, Taylor, Dirrell.

I think both men win their first match. I think both are in tough in the second round, however if each prevail the final fight will have a lot of steam.

I can see some real potential that one of the Andres will rise to the top.

On what I have seen,no, but both have talent and sometimes a fighter raises his game and steps up to a level not seen before.A lot of talk about Green on here in the last couple of days, but he is a great example of a fighter not realising his potential.Could be their time,we will see.
