    I can't for sure say Dirrell will win it all, but besides Kessler, I hope he takes it down. I disliked him before ('cuz I'm not to keen on smack talk), but after watching him beat AA - which I thought would be impossible for him - I really like him. If he can keep growing (some balls too lol), I'm his fan from now on!

      i actually think its gonna be Abraham to take it and i'm not even really a fan.
      When this thing started i called Ward so that wouldnt suprise me at all but something tells me AA can stop anybody in this thing and i believe he will when it comes crunch time.
      I dont know man but this tourney is cool as **** and NEEDS to be done more often.

        He's one dimensional.
        Aside from the Kessler fight-which fight was he head-butting???

        Describe what one dimensional is,because I think you are confused....

          I think he was a little lucky against AA. At the time of the DQ Dirrell looked to be gassing out pretty bad, and if Abraham had started throwing a round or 2 earlier I still think he'd have KOd Dirrell, even though as already mentioned he outboxed him.

            That's the only thing that bothers me about Dirrell, he gets tired. He got tired against Froch and AA. I think he's fine mentally. We saw what he did to Froch after point got taken away. He's one of those fighter who can be aggressive offensively all the time, but doesn't. I think he's going to beat Ward's ass though...

                Dirrell's win over Abraham shouldn't be read into so much.

                Dirrell was the perfect opponent to beat Abraham, all he had to do was keep Abraham at a distance and move.

Dirrell was toying with Abraham the whole time, and if he can do that to who some call the best fighter in the tournament, he can and will do it to Kessler, who has looked very unimpressive in his two fights, and he will do it to Ward.

                    Ward's fights were unimpressive aswell, with Ward holding most of the Green fight and using his head against Kessler numerous times, he hasn't proven what 'skill' he has. He won't be able to rush Dirrell like he did Kessler and Green, Dirrell will pop him with that jab, use lateral movement and confuse one-dimensional Ward and completely outclass and outbox him.
                    yeah sure.....if by crying while on the floor means he will win then sure...

                      Dirrell and Ward are both undefeated. Here is a little synopsis of their achievements so far.

                      Andre Dirrell (20-0 with 13 KOs)

                      In his first fight, he faced Carl Froch (25-0) and lost a Split Decision which should have been a close Unanimous Decision win for him. Carl Froch gets a fighter rating of 6 from me for this fight, while Dirrell gets 14.

                      In his next fight, he took on Arthur Abraham (36-0 with 30 KOs!) and was the heavy underdog. It was thought before the bout that Abraham could Knock-Out any fighter in the tournament, but he was outschooled by Dirrell and eventually disqualified. Even now, it is possible that Abraham could Knock-Out every fighter in the tournament besides Dirrell (which would suggest that Dirrell would easily beat Ward). I will give Abraham two ratings, of which either could be correct - 11 and 8.

                      Andre Ward (22-0 with 13 KOs)

                      In his first fight, he faced Mikkel Kessler (42-1). Kessler was generally seen as the favourite - in fact, pre-Calzaghe he would have had a good chance at winning. However, Kessler lost a wide Unanimous Decision and I am giving him two possible ratings: 10 and 7. Kessler went on to beat Froch, which would make sense with either rating.

                      His next fight was unimportant, but in beating Kessler, who no one else has beaten or can surely beat, Ward made himself hard to quantify. Both Ward ad Dirrell have someone like this who the other cannot relate to (an old legend in Kessler for Ward and the invincible and destructive King Arthur for Dirrell). I'm not favouring anyone in this fight.
