    Would be something if Green beats Ward

    First Kessler was the favorite, he loses to Ward.

    Abraham was the "co-favorite" he loses to Dirrell.

    Now Ward is the favorite. If Green beats him lmao.

    this tournament is great though, it's had a little bit of everything. Expect the unexpected!

    I want to say how pleased I am again with Showtime, all the promoters and the fighters for making this happen. It's really made 168 exciting and provided us with a lot of entertainment. Hopefully it sets an example for future tournaments (come on HBO, make one at 140!).

    Ward is the king of this tournament.

    I can't see that ****er winning.

    After watching more fights of Dirrell and Ward, I feel Ward is very classy. The guys they face in the US at SMW are faster and mroe athletic on the whole compared to the rest of the world.

    They are real good fighters

      Green seems a bit bigger than Ward when they were next to each other but even so I think Ward has much more talent and should handle Green.

        I agree 100%.

        I said Ward would win this tournament when it was first announced, I still feel that way. Still though, just the thought of Green pulling off the upset makes me laugh.

        Dirrell is classy, but he is a rough dude in the ring. I was telling someone earlier he reminds me of bernard hopkins a little bit, not that they fight the same but their tough mentality and determination, and Ward knows a lot of those oldschool veteran tricks in the ring.

          Green has a solid punch so anything can happen. Especially since Ward showed a habit of leaning in with his head. Maybe Green takes a step back and stuns him and....

          Ward's the more schooled fighter although I haven't watched Green in a bit so I'll have to check the tapes when I get time.

              if green beat ward and kessler beats froch, that would make the tourney very very interesting.

              not sure what it means in term of ATGness... all these guys would have a tougher road of getting to the ATG category, but I dunno if anyone would hold it against them because they aren't ducking tough fights.

                  I was more interested in finding out if there was one unstoppable 168'er. I already knew that styles made fights.

                  I don't like Ward at all, but him losing would make the finding of the best 168'er even more impossible.

                    What was wrong with Allan Green during the Miranda fight? Did he really get beat up by Miranda or was something wrong with him? I heard interviews he said something was wrong with him, but I forget what he said.
