Comments Thread For: Super Six Shocker: Mikkel Kessler Withdraws, Injured

[P4P Opinion]

This year has been a terrible year for boxing - nearly everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong. No Mayweather-Pacquiao, no Klitschko-Haye and now one of the top contenders in the Super Six is forced to drop out. 2011 can only be better.

There's no point in getting a replacement for Kessler. I'm not shure but I don't think theres a chance of Green or the replcement being able to qualify for the semi finals anyway... so they should just make Dirrell-Ward and Abraham-Froch the semi finals.

They should drop Green and just carry on with Froch, Abraham, Ward and Dirrell.

Even though I don't think Green would have won this fight, I think it's only fair that he automatically advance. He did, afterall, come in at a disadvantage in the first place. Automatically advance him and lets keep on moving. No sense in trying to get a replacement at this time because then that person gets an advantage/unfair advantage just like Green did coming in to this tournament.

first taylor pulls out & now kessler.this tourney has been a huge let down.none of the fights were good so far,a few hometown decisions,& now one belt isnt involved anymore(kesslers wba title).they might as well drop green from the tourney & make the other 2 fights the semi-finals.with the finals in the new year.winner gets kessler in the summer of 2011.

What are you talking about... A lot of the fights have been good.

The Super 6 tournament has been a huge let down in my honest opinion. Things like this are hard to manage because of the nature of boxing, fighters are likely to get injured and what not. It's hard to ensure everyone stay healthy.

In the the super 6 is nice but the reality is there should never be a tourney with this format. For any boxing tourney in the future to succeed, there needs to be a single elimination so we can get it done quickly while proving who is the best at the same time.

I don't blame showtime and hopefully the learn from this.

They also need to have pre-determined venues in all neutral sites for every fight.

Like people have said drop Green although there would be some legal issues that could prevent this.
