    They shouldn't even bother replacing Kessler.

    With Jermain Taylor, you had a guy with little chance to win the tourney and he was replaced after the first fight, so the guy replacing him had a chance to make up for the points. With Kessler out now at the LAST fight of the round, it wouldn't be far to whoever replaced him because they have no shot of making it to the next round.

    They should just move things up and make Ward-Dirrell and Abraham-Froch the start of the next round of the tourney. And they better hurry before one of those fighters pulls out too.

      I was just about to make a thread about this. Make round 3 of the tournament Ward-Dirrell and Abraham-Froch.

        Completely agree. Those 4 guys have won atleast 1 round each of the tournament. Just continue with the 4 and tell Green to piss off.

          Green isn't gonna get any pay days as big as he would in the super six.

          He'll take legal action if he can if they just drop him I would assume.

            I agree. everybody in the Super six has an injury of some kind, and they can easily find a doctor that will tell the media that they should rest for 9 months.

              they can just give green a buy. he can fight one of the losers and move up the loser's bracket or something

                How about this solution?

                Drop Green from the tournament, but give him first shot at the Super Six Champion?
