    Good points raised here. Its good to see the fights that the super six creates. Also tru about records, its literally ****in ****** the amount of people on here who chat **** about fighters, if they lose. Look at all the threads that popped up tonight lol. You dont like a fighter n hes lost well ****ing done. Talking about these fighters with no respect. If someone doesnt fight a big name hes ducking if he does and beats them, then they were shot. Just strait *** ****, too many **** riders and not enough boxing fans.

      Its great set up,the only problem here in the UK is the coverage is **** (Primetime). No exposure whatsoever on a channel tucked away in obscurity so it won't reach your average armchair boxing fan.

          In the next round we will now see Kessler, Froch and Dirrell all fighting desperately for advancement as they will all be tied with 2 points going in.

          If Green somehow beats Ward then things will just get nuts.

            Good fight, slightly sad to watch as a Froch fan, but that last round was very exciting.

            I actually thought that the first 3 rounds would determine the fight, but IMO Froch won at least one of them yet Kessler still stayed strong and pulled it out.

            Looking forward to the next round.

              Imagine how crazy the final round fights would be if Green upsets Ward and 5 guys are tied with 2 points?

                Very good points. They should make a 140 tournament.

                  Super 6 has been a complete success in my eyes.

                  Your never going to get away with some wacky things happening in the ring and some bad decisions.

                  But look at how packed the stadiums have been for these fights. In Europa the super 6 is building future boxing fans probably more than ever. Not only that but people know who Dirrell and Ward and the other guys are now.

                  People are really into it, it's a shame it doesnt get more press in the U.S., but **** it. Careers are going to be built off this and it will push for more tournys like it.

                  Not only that but when the tourny is done, there is still going to be a lot of good fights and rematch's within the division.

                  I can't stress how happy I am to see 20 thousand people filling stands in Europe for these fights. In Germany for the Abraham - Taylor fight the entire crowd stood up and clapped for Taylor. I've been very impressed with everything so far.

                    Not only has it introduced the talents of Ward and Dirrell to a worldwide audience but I believe it has forced them to mature and improve at an exponential rate. I don't think either guy would be anywhere close to where he is today if they had continued fighting the type of opponents that they had previously faced.

                      This idea was brilliant. The last three fights really turned it into something special.
                      The whole structure of this tourny from the home field advantages, to the point system, to the round robin are all perfect.

                      This is was what happens when boxing works together. If not for this tourny AA/Froch and Dirrell/Ward would have been impossible, and now we'll probably see both a month apart. They couldn't have scripted the matchups out any better.

                      It also turned out to be a great exposure for all of them. Just look at what this could have done for Dawson's career.
