Comments Thread For: Seeding The Super Six: A Look at The Third Stage

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - When the “Super Six” World Boxing Classic was announced in the Super Middleweight division in the summer of 2009, this scribe predicted one thing: everyone was going to lose. Through two rounds, six of the seven (“Super Six” plus one if you will) combatants have done just that. Only Oakland’s Andre Ward has avoided the fate.

There are still potentially three fights to go for Ward, or anyone else, who makes it to and through the tournament final. Time will tell if ‘everyone’ winds up being ‘all but one.’

What might have been missed as Ward became the first fighter to qualify for the tournament’s semi-finals is this: Ward can be the only fighter to go undefeated in the three rounds of preliminaries and still not end up the number one seed in the elimination brackets. [Click Here To Read More]

OK, well..... I need a " please explain " on that one.

Arthur Abraham vs. Andre Ward is the fight that matters.

So, the only way Green can advance is if he knocks out Kessler and that puts him in an extremely dire situation... If Green fights like he did against Ward, I think we'll see an even uglier inside fight with a lot more dirty tactics by him (like a Bhop/Jones II with less theatrics LOL). Kessler should be prepared for that now, though he's not nearly as good with the strong arm tactics as Green. If Green fights desperate he could be the one who ends up getting knocked out. Personally I think Kessler should stick and move all night and coast to an easy UD, but that's not really his style. Either way, unfortunately, I think it's going to be a boring and ugly fight IMO. Kessler should take it though, and if he does I wonder what Greens excuse would be this time? After all, he did say emphatically that NO ONE in this tournament could beat him... "NO ONE!"

Anything with the twists and turns this has already had, and a WAR like AA-Froch on tap, is far from over.

omfg I didn't think about that possible outcome Cliff mentionned : if Green decisions Kessler, he may be out of the tournament WITH THE WBC BELT. That would not be fun. But there's one thing that is still obscur :
Let's say :
Ward decisions Dirrell
Green decisions Kessler
Froch decisions AA

Ward 6
Green 2
Kessler 2
Dirrell 2
Froch 4
AA 3

3 PEOPLE WOULD BE TIED WITH 2 POINTS
WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS ?????? HOW WILL THEY DETERMINE WHO IS THE FOURTH FIGHTER TO ENTER THE SEMIS ????

I thought he said they would count up the rounds won... I'm assuming that means the fighter with the most rounds won (in all 3 fights total) would take it.

I don't know who in the hell will advance to the Semi

I think Abraham and Ward will be the #1 and #2 seeds but after that...I DON'T KNOW!
