    No the super six is not making me feel nationalistic at all.

          Not nationalistic because I do not care much about Taylor and I think Ward is alright but I am not overly pulling for him over the other guys.

          I am pulling for the Flint boy though, got to support the local talent.

              Nope, not in the slightest. I've never been a Taylor fan and have been underwhelmed by Ward's career (and fights) to date. I'm kinda rooting for Dirrell to beat Froch, but nothing to do with US bias. It's actually the only fight where I like/am a fan of both fighters.

              I want to see Abraham (Armenian who lives in Germany) run the tables, but Dirrell (African-American from Michigan) to also suprise the field and box his way to the finals. I'm a NY-born/raised mick who now lives in Tennessee. Credit to the one who can possibly connect the dots out of that.

                It doesn't surprise me that people are feeling nationalistic....it is the way they are marketing it after all.

                I find myself rooting for Kessler. I think I'm a Kessler fan. Taylor would be 2nd.

                  Not feeling anything, but anticipation. However, it would be nice to see Taylor bring his career back. Particularly with a rematch against Froch. I'm looking for Kessler to make noise as well. I'm from the Bay Area, but I don't feel that Ward has the style to beat Kessler, not even close. Can't wait until **** goes down!.

                    I'm rooting for Froch and Kessler. I'm pulling for Taylor to win though. I guess I wouldn't mind if Andre ward beat Kessler.....yeah....I'd rather see Ward win. I can't stand Dirrell though...even if he is from the Murda Mitt.

                      Froch is my fighter so of course i've got to root for him, but i'm a realist, and the real money is on Kessler to come out tops. I don't really care for the young Americans, but i like Taylor and want him to do well.
