Second round who you got: Kessler vs Froch, Taylor vs Ward, Abraham vs Dirrell?

BTW the second round IMO is gonna be alot better than the first round. Alot of good style matchups and Kessler vs Froch in England will be huge. I also think ward vs taylor will be huge in atlantic city if it is promoted right.

I think Kessler beats Froch pillar to post, but it will be exciting as hell to watch. Dirrell will learn everything one man can ever hope to learn about themselves in the first round against Froch, and should he get through that impessively and turn out to be the real deal, I got to go with Dirrell there. But if he isn't the goods, Abraham will destroy him and the rest of his confidence. Dirrell to me is the wildcard of the bunch. Come Saturday he won't be, we'll know everything we need to. Ward/Taylor is a tough one to judge and possibly could be a tough one to watch. But Kessler/Froch will make up for it. And Abraham/Dirrell is the one fight that could go either way.

Got to see how they all do first, if Dirrell can't beat Froch then I can't see him beating AA since AA has a tighter guard.

Yeah I think after this weekend we will have a better idea about each fighter.

I got Froch over Kessler......laugh now be shocked later!!!
I got JT over Ward......momentum, JT will be comin' off a win vs Abe while Ward will be comin' off a brutal stoppage lost to Kessler!!
I got Dirrell over Abe......Abe is being way overrated and AFTER this tourney that will have been evident....IMO the only dude I give Abe a good chance at beating is Ward!!!

To me it don't matter if Jermain wins or loses this weekend, he'll still present the hardest match up for Ward and therefore wins this fight...

If Taylor loses this weekend and by brutal KO by AA, Taylor won't be the same ever again. If AA carried his punching power up to supermiddle weight ppl will be getting knocked the f out in this tourney.

I actually think Ward is Taylor made (no pun intended) for Jermaine. He doesn't have the work rate nor explosive power to give Jermaine any problems. Truth be told...I have never seen Jermaine out boxed, which is what Ward will have to do to beat Jermaine. If Winky and a Prime B-hop couldn't really do it, then I highly doubt Ward does.
