    taylor for the win haha.`
    That would certainly give someone ammo for a styles make fights thread, how ****ed up will it get if the favorites in each fight get turned over. I will personally give up watching boxing if Ward does all the hard work only to get caught by a lucky shot from Froch in the final. Can you imagine how unbearable Froch would be if he fluked his way to a final win!!!!!

          Let me in =D...
          I was really surprised with Ward. I have only seen him on the fight against Miranda, and even though he clearly won, i wasn't impressed.
          But against Kessler, Wow...what a boxing lesson. The guy is really good....Before this i thought AA would win this tournament, but now, i really want to him fight Ward. What a fight, 50-50 form me

            Ward vs Dirrell will be very interesting - Dirrell avoided a lot of Froch's stuff by a whisker - will he be able to do that against a more skillfull boxer like Ward? Interesting.
            Avioding punches from a slow guy like Froch is one thing
            Avoiding punches from a fast fighter like Ward, I think Ward will beat Direll badly personally

              im from london england, and personally dont like Froch's Style, I think Wards style is the best out of the three fights I have seen.

                Ward Direll will be good because to avoid a slow persons punches with not so good footwork is one thing but to avoid someone like Ward quick foot work and fast hands, I feel Ward will be the victor in this fight. I could be wrong still because Direll is quick himself, I just think Ward looks better on my opinon and is more rounded.

                there will still be some interesting fights I wonder if Ward can beat Abrahams.

                    carl froch is probably the least gifted out of the six but i would find it hard to see who wants it more than carl.
