Is the Super Six making you feel a little nationalistic?

    When it comes to Froch, a little bit. I still think his style is horrendous, and I'm not willing to forget the absurd Calzaghe-stalking just yet, but in the end he is a British champ and there'll always be a small part of me that wants to go "Caaaaaaah'm on Englaaaand!"

    With that said, I'm still rooting for Abraham the most because I genuinely think he's the best in this tournament. But should he lose, I'll probably switch over my allegiance to the Crotch.

      I think the midget Armenian will win the whole thing actually.
      He can punch. If he can get off against the tall dudes, everyone is in trouble.

          I am right there with you. Usually in fights I want to see the Americans win but it just depends on the fighter but I never feel a sense of pride about it. But in this case, I really want the Americans to win badly and will be strongly rooting for the Americans. I wish that all of the matchups would have been USA vs everyone else, not sure how they could have worked that but it would have been cool.

I can't say I'm a fan of Kessler or Abraham but I do like Froch but for some reason atleast in this fight I am pulling for Dirrell badly. How you guys treating the Super 6?

                  Nationalistic? No. Nostalgic, maybe. While this sort of tournament has never been done before, it makes me think of the days when, as a kid, there was a fight worth watching on weekly, and everybody you knew talked about it, before and after. "The Thrill of Victory, and the Agony of Defeat" was about as well known as any phrase in the vocabulary.

                  I'm hoping this tournament helps put the back into the forefront of mainstream sports. Just once more before I croak, I'd like to see one of the big networks air a title fight on prime time.

                      I just want Jermain to get his career back on track. And beating Abraham is twenty steps in that direction.
