Super Six Tournament (predictions)

[Jan(DK)]

It's because is not eliminatory, it's based on points, a victory gives you certain amount of point and then lees if you loose or draw. At the end the two with more points would fight and if someone ends up tied there should be a tie-breaker fight.

As i understand it, every fighter has 3 fights. The best 4 with the most points proceed to the semifinals. #1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3. Winners go to the final.

But i could see problems going into the semifinals with 2 or 3 fighters with the same amounts of points, don't know how they will deal with that.

It's a round robin tournament, with a best-of-four elimination round following. 2 point for a win and 3 points for a knockout (1 for a draw).

There should be a tentative schedule of the round robin bouts in the news archives. I recall Dirrell and Ward are slated to face off in their third fight. I think I recall that Dirrell may be slated to fight Abraham in his second fight also.

Froch will beat Dirrell (Froch has punching power, stamina and a great chin, Dirrell is over-rated and inexperienced)

Kessler will beat Ward by UD

Taylor/Abraham i won't be suprised by a draw, otherwise Taylor wins by MD/SD

imo

I agree with everything except for Direll being overrated. I think hes good, i just think Froch is better.

Only problem is, that it is not a "full" round robin. They wont face everybody before the elimination. Therefor what if 3 fighters has the same amount of points, and only 2 fighters can proceed?.

Maybe there are 2 groups A and B and the #1 and #2 after a group round robin proceed to the semifinals ?

Yeah I know it's not a full round robin. I'm not sure of all the fine details.

Andre Ward. To add to that Ward tends to fight at the level of the competition sometimes.

Guess thats why he's hardly lost a round as a professional.

Kessler for the win, but anything can happen.

king arthur KOs taylor (no doubt).

froch-dirrell is tough, froch is very beatable, and i think dirrell will give him hell early on. but its hard to pick such and inexpereinced and unproven fighter over a world champion. so i have to go with froch, late stoppage. but like i said before, dirrell looks great in what ive seen from him and could very well win. but i just cant pick a fighter who never did ****.

ward-kessler is hard. kessler is soooo overrated but im not sold on ward yet eighter, i still think ward will outbox him and win a decision though. neighter one stands any chance to win the whole thing anyways so it doesnt really matter.

Froch - very close
Kessler - easy
Taylor - close

easy when the competition has been B- or lower to date. We shall see what happens when he fights another world class fighter.
