    Andre Dirrell is in a must win situation now that kessler beat froch

    If he doesn't beat Ward he is pretty much outta the super six. If he loses next his only hope is for Green to beat either Kessler or Ward...two things I just don't see happening.

    Ward will keep his 0. Ward reminds me alot of Calzaghe/Hopkins how he has several game-plans to fight a fighter. If one game-plan doesn't work he'll switch to the next. I do not see anyone beating Ward in this tourney.

        I think Dirrell is faster than Ward. He also throws his punches straighter.

        If the fight is not in Oakland I can see Dirrell beating Ward. Although I don't know how good Ward's chin is.

        I rewatched some of Kessler/Ward today and the holding and leading with the head by Ward really is quite disgraceful. The way the ref was warning Kessler though puts it for me, nearly on par with Ottke-Reid in terms of the bias.

          If Green loses to Ward, then beats Kessler by decision, and Dirrell loses to Ward, there will be 3 fighters with 2 points.

            He still trounced him, though. People need to see beyond the head clashes and look at the fight objectively - Ward made Kessler look pathetic.

                Kessler-Green is far from a given.

                    Actor doesnt deserve to be in semi final.

                    He cant ACT to the semi final of Super Six BOXING tournament.
