Super Six COMPLETE Predictions [Post Yours]
Collapse

-
Stage 1: Round 1
Taylor Vs Abraham - Abraham late knockout
Dirrell Vs Froch - Dirrell decision
Ward Vs Kessler - Kessler decision
Stage 1: Round 2
Dirrell Vs Abraham - (I want to see how they both do in the first round of the tournament first because Dirrell will be taking a step up against Froch and Abraham will be fighting arguably the best opponent of his career in only his second fight above 160) Dirrell has the style to beat Abraham though, but Abraham's power negates some of that. OK, I'm going with the upset special, Dirrell by decision.
Froch Vs Kessler - Kessler decision
Ward Vs Taylor - Ward decision
Stage 1: Round 3
Dirrell Vs Ward - Dirrell decision
Taylor Vs Kessler - Kessler decision
Froch Vs Abraham - Abraham knockout
So I'd have it like this.
Dirrell - 6 points
Kessler - 6 points
Abraham - 6 points
Ward - 2 points
Taylor (Eliminated)
Froch (Eliminated)
Dirrell vs Ward 2 - Dirrell by decision
Kessler vs Abraham - Kessler by decision
Finals
Kessler vs Dirrell - Kessler by decision
Now a lot of this requires leaps of knowledge and stuff and I'm depending on a few upsets happening from Dirrell, which I think is entirely possible. But if he loses, I'm going to look like an idiot.Last edited by Silencers; 10-06-2009, 10:37 AM.

I'm always interested on how people pick the Ward Vs Dirrell fight lol I'd say that will be widely split. I'm going with Dirrell on that too.

this sounds like fun...
Stage 1: Round 1
Taylor Vs Abraham -> abraham (ko)
Dirrell Vs Froch -> Dirrell (wide UD) OR Froch(TKO)-it's either one or the other
Ward Vs Kessler -> Kessler (Points)
Stage 1: Round 2
Dirrell Vs Abraham -> Dirrell (points)
Froch Vs Kessler -> Kessler(Points)
Ward Vs Taylor -> Ward (Points)
Stage 1: Round 3
Dirrell Vs Ward -> Ward (Points)
Taylor Vs Kessler -> Kessler (KO)
Froch Vs Abraham -> Abraham (KO)
the problem here is that Dirrell is unproven so we have to see how he does, Abraham's power, if it goes up with the weight will be devastating, Taylor, don't even know why he's on this, Ward, hit and grab can give him the UDs, Froch the WILD CARD, Kessler the all around guy

I am using the group stage layout as leaked by boxingscene earlier this year.
I don't think many will agree with my stage 1 picks, let alone stage 2 and 3, but...
Here's mine...
Stage 1: Round 1
Taylor Vs Abraham -> Taylor (Points)
Dirrell Vs Froch -> Dirrell (Points)
Ward Vs Kessler -> Kessler (Points)
Stage 1: Round 2
Dirrell Vs Abraham -> Abraham (Late TKO)
Froch Vs Kessler -> Kessler(Points)
Ward Vs Taylor -> Taylor (Points)
Stage 1: Round 3
Dirrell Vs Ward -> Dirrell (Points)
Taylor Vs Kessler -> Kessler (Points)
Froch Vs Abraham -> Draw
_____________________
End of Stage 1.
Kessler - 6 points
Abraham - 4 points
Dirrell - 4 points
Taylor - 4 points
Froch - 1 point (Eliminated)
Ward - 0 points (Eliminated)
Stage 2
1st Seed(Kesslerl) Vs 4th Seed (Taylor) -> Kessler (Points)
**Rematch**
2nd Seed (Abraham) Vs 3rd Seed (Dirrell) -> Dirrell (Points)
**Rematch**
The Final
Kessler Vs Dirrell
WINNER - KESSLER
As I said it's impossible to predict outcomes without seeing the first stage, but this is just on my ever changing gut feelings right now lol
Stage 1
Abraham WKO vs Taylor (3pts)
Dirrell WPTS vs Froch (2pts)
Kessler WPTS vs Ward (2pts)
Abraham WKO vs Dirrell (3pts)
Kessler WKO vs Froch (3pts)
Taylor WPTS vs Ward (2pts)
Dirrell WPTS vs Ward (2pts)
Kessler WKO vs Taylor (3pts)
Abraham WKO vs Froch (3pts)
Abraham 9 points
Kessler 8 points
Dirrell 4 points
Taylor 2 points
Ward 0 points
Froch 0 points
Stage 2

Dirrell - 6 points
Kessler - 6 points
Abraham - 6 points
Ward - 2 points
Taylor (Eliminated)
Froch (Eliminated)
Dirrell vs Ward 2 - Dirrell by decision
Kessler vs Abraham - Kessler by decision
Final
Kessler vs Dirrell - Kessler by decision
Now a lot of this requires leaps of knowledge and stuff and I'm depending on a few upsets happening from Dirrell, which I think is entirely possible. But if he loses, I'm going to look like an idiot.
Now it's my turn to man up.
Disclaimer: I'm a big JT fn, and it may look harsh what I'm about to do, but I'm trying to realistic here and basing my predictions on recent performances, and not on what may or may not have helped him during his new training camp. Though, as Silencers said, I may look ****** if comes out like gang busters.
Round 1
1) Taylor-Abraham: Abraham SD
2) Dirrell-Froch: Dirrell UD
3) Ward-Kessler: Kessler UD
Round 2
1) Dirrell-Abraham: Dirrell UD
2) Kessler-Froch: Kessler TKO
3) Ward-Taylor: Ward UD
Round 3
1) Dirrell-Ward: Ward UD
2) Taylor-Kessler: Kessler UD
3) Froch-Abraham: Abraham TKO
Points:
1) Kessler: 3-0-0 (7)
2) Abraham: 2-1-0 (5)
3) Ward: 2-1-0 (4)
4) Dirrell: 2-1-0 (4)
Froch 0-0-3 (0)
Taylor 0-0-3 (0)
Semi Finals
1) Kessler-Dirrell: Kessler UD
2) Abraham-Ward: Ward UD
Final
Kessler-Ward: Kessler UD
Obviously, I've got a few upsets, but I've based them on styles, and my whole thing could change if they don't come through. Also, I rate Ward very highly, and if he isn't where I think he is, then I'll be off there too.Last edited by Shadows; 10-06-2009, 11:21 AM.
