I'd say the winner of the tournament, assuming he still has the WBC title then has a fight against Kessler, to begin a unifying process at 168.

Well worked out as always Battling.

It appears that it is possible for the WBA-belt to stay out of the finals which in my view is most unfortunate.

Here's my scenario in the last 2 stages:

Stage 2:
Froch beats Kessler and keeps the WBC belt.
Direll beats AA
Green beats Ward BY KO and takes the WBA belt

Stage 3:
AA beats Froch and takes the WBC belt
Ward beats Direll
Kessler beats Green on points and takes the WBA belt.

Final standings (top 4 advances to the semis):

AA 5 points (WBC)
Ward 4 points
Froch 4 points
Green 3 points
Direll 2 points
Kessler 2 points (WBA)

That way Kessler is knocked out of the tournament, but takes the WBA belt with him.

You could say that belt are unimportant in this tourney. I disagree as a unified champion coming out is significant.

Thoughts?

The ones i bolded are unlikely to happen. It's highly unlikely, but if it happens, then it happens, it would be very weird though.

very interesting. hopefully the belt holders will fight each other after the tournament is over. They most probably will because it will be a big money fight.

What SHOULD happen is on the final night we also have play off fights for 3rd/4th, and if Kellser gets drummed out in 5th place with the strap, he defends it against Direll, all on the same night.

Other possibility:

AA beats Direll
Ward beats Green

Direll beats Ward on points

Direll is out of the tourney with the WBA belt.

I guess that Bute is dreaming about it right now...

Yeah. And HBO. They'd love to see Showtime's idea outwatered.

Unfortunate super-six scenario.
