Unfortunate super-six scenario.

[cleaner147]

OK, Nelson heres my view of the situation of Stage 2:

Kess> Froch, by UD
Ward> Green, by TKO
the Abrahammer> Dirrell, by brutal KO in ~ round 6!
if theres no TD in the early middlerounds, Abe is gonne KTFO him out!!

Froch beating Kessler, nothing unfortunate about that.

Haha.

No but the WBA belt being knocked out of the tournament is unfortunate.

PS: Froch beating Kessler won't happen.

I have this feeling that Kessler is done.

He looked like ass against Ward.


Froch doesn't have quite those skills so it's a pick em fight to me now.

That could definetely happen.

If stage 3 then has a Direll win by KO and a Kessler points loss Green is out of the tournament with the WBC belt. Lol.

Kessler could well be finito. His ex-trainer Olsen thinks he should call it a day.

Still as a Kessler fan I hope that a longer camp as the one he is getting now ensures the return of the Kessler of old. But if he loses badly to Froch he's officially shot...

I doubt that'll happen. Ward will beat Green.

Winning the Tournament>>>>>>>Belts
Just my opinion.

haha, thats a funny tought - no unfi at the end and the "worst" boxer would be a champ leavin the super6 with a belt.

Im believn the winner of the Super 6 would be a unif. and undisp. world champ. of the world! + the ring belt

btw and thats gonne be King Arthur Abraham

I was doing some what-ifs regarding the outcome of the groupstages in the super-six.

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?

It would be nice but it's no big deal if the belts are split. The Super Six winner likely looks like THE MAN if he wins and, if Bute is still rolling, you've got a fight to prove who the undisputable king is unless, as in your scenario, it's Green, and then at least there is still big business rematching to be done. I'll be doing a long piece on this same subject here pretty soon. It's fun to envision the directions it could all go.

Well technically the winner wont be undisputed as the IBF and WBO belts are missing.

Cool Cliff. I look forward to reading your piece.
