If Kessler beats Froch, Dirrell beats AA, and Taylor beats Ward..

[KingAthurNo1]

Thats why I said "I see no way of Taylor beating Ward".

Why so negetive on Taylor, if he wants to win a fight then Ward and Dirrel are the ones he can win. We all know he is a great tec boxer and has O.K speed and an adaptable style. His weakness is his chin and as i see it Ward's weakness is his ability to K.O. If you like a Taylor's fight vs. Froch he was winning on points as he got KTFO and against Abraham he may have been losing but it was fairley close. Ward is a winnable fight for Taylor if not Ward who then? The Europeans will KO him.

Everyone has there opinion man. I just don't see it happening. I think he's all ****ked up from being kod that bad twice.

Taylor was outboxed by Cory Spinks after thinking of that fight I don't see how he can decisively beat Ward. BUt ther is a great chance that there will be a tie for 4th place at the end of stage 3.

[razor.thin]

i can see all that happening too

I think it will be a Ward - Abrahams Final Personally hopefully Ward can win for the good of boxing.

How's that good for boxing? Gimme an exciting KO in the final and AA is more capable of doing that...

[Pullcounter]

Then we have a tie, with AA leading by a point. That would sure make round 3 interesting.

I see no way of Taylor beating Ward though. I think Taylor will get hit a couple times early, and be afraid to throw after that, so he doesnt get kod again.

AA is or was my favorite to win it.. I think Dirrells speed can neutralize AA's gameplan though. It could go either way.

Froch vs Kesler could go either way. I see Froch being to aggressive, and Kessler being stuck not throwin like against ward. Then again, if Froch is getting hit consistently, the fight won't last IMO.

1) Kessler will KO froch unless froch makes it a dirty fight

2) AA will catch dirrell w/ a big punch and win by KO

3) Ward beats Taylor, he is shot.

i reckon Ward has a very good chance of knocking out taylor

taylor ward will be closer than kessler ward. taylor understands wards style but will struggle against it, kess had no idea what was going on.

Next round predictions

Kessler over Froch ud

dirrell over abraham sd

ward over taylor ud


Froch is entirely too slow for almost everyone in the tourney except taylor and will get school by the more technical and precise kessler. Kessler's speed will make fight difficult for froch

Dirrell will force abraham to pursue and land jabs throwing off abrahams rhythm. There will be a pointed speed difference and abraham will try to make up for it with his power. Dirrell will stay outside use jab engage more than froch fight and squeek by w a sd.

Ward is better Taylor is finished.

[Pullcounter]

I think taylor's speed will give ward trouble, but once ward turns on the bhop tactics, taylor will lose... he will see hops' reincarnate and fold.

You got Taylor beating Ward??? Wow. i have always liked Taylor and it's not easy watching him slowly fade into a shot fighter. I wish he'd just hang it up. Ward's going to ko him. In fact I got Ward winning the tourney if he can get past AA.
