    Dirrell and ward taking over super six

    Don't u think it's funny how the 2 unknowns and underdogs of the tourney are now the 2 everone is talking bout and half the people on here sayin ward gonna win the whole thing.

    Although I think a lot of people are just jumping on the bandwagon when they say stuff like that cos they probably ain't even watched there previous fights

    either 2 can win the tournament.

    I love it! I remember pre-tournament a huge number of people kept saying they had no chance, they are too green, etc but they've proven everyone wrong and look like being the top 2 in the division!

      Ward is definitley shouting down the doubters but dirrell? The loss to Froch was debatable but not unfathomable, and even while outboxing Abraham to the DQ its hard to be sure with a fighter with Abraham's staying power. A loss and a DQ is hardly dominating. But could be european pride stopping me from giving it up. yet

        2 unknowns?

        I was actually a fan of both before this tournament, I remember watching Ward during the Olympics, I knew his speed would give the other fighters in this Tournament and it was obvious against Kessler

        I picked Abraham or Ward to win this Tournament before it started and I still think they are the favorites, Dirrell is extremely talented but can been a little sloppy defensively at times when he gets tired and late in the fight as seen against Abraham, just need to learn how to be more clever when he is tired and learn how the clinch without making it look so obviously, but he has the talent to go far in this Tournament but I don't think he will beat Ward in the next round

          Lets be honest, Jermaine Taylor was by far the most recognizable fighter in the tourney. Froch was only known to the wider audience after his dramatic late stoppage of Taylor. Being a Londoner, I knew about Abraham but mostly through youtube and magazines but I did not really know too much about Dirrell and Ward.

          Dirrell and Ward have yet to either fight or win outside of the US and until then the jury is till out on them. Dirrell is an embarrassment on a similar scale with Cintron for his bull****e running and acting. Dude is not worthy of being a champion as far as I am concerned. Ward completely outclassed Kessler but even then his style of lunging forward like a rhino every time he throws a punch is just annoying.

          In terms of talent, Ward is by far ahead of the rest and this tournament is going to be won depending on where the final will be held if it's an European against an American. Who ever has home town advantage will win and that is the sad truth.
