    Any1 gonna watch whole Super Six back?

    I can't wait to watch all the fights and documentaries back from the beginning in order. It hasn't been a straight forward tournament, but there have been many great fights!!

      I ran a few Super Six matches a few hours ago. Can't get enough of Andre Ward, superb skill.

        Yeah those 2 were the top tier. Froch-Johnson was good too. Johnson - Green was a pretty good fight also.

        And I liked both Dirrell fights. Good, skills based fights, the Abraham one bringing more drama.

        All of the Ward fights were dominations.

          Turning on Froch v Dirrell now. Gonna watch Ward Abraham and Froch Johnson later.
          I've seen Kessler vs Froch like six or seven times and I usaually don't rewatch fights that much. That one was great.

          Super (pun intended) excited for the finals.

            Abraham done okay early against Ward. And if Ward was at all chinny Abe would have KO'd him.

            He caught him big more than once.

            Not sure if a punchers' chance is really there for Froch.

              Regarding Showtime: I don't like how long it took. Took the air out of the Tournament, IMHO.

              But the fights have been fairly good.

              Sad that Abraham was just a big puncher. Happy for Froch.

              Ward is very skillful.

              I'm rooting for Froch but good luck and respect to both of them.

                I had a predictions thread a couple years ago. I don't think anybody correctly picked the first round's results.

                At the time, people were split between Taylor and Abraham for that fight.


                Froch was supposed to destroy Dirrell (I thought Dirrell would win, still feel he did)


                Kessler was a cert to beat Ward (bar a couple on the forum who had Ward)

                  Yeah I seriously doubt it. I think if some sort of stoppage were to come it would be from Ward.

                  Interesting that Taylor was knocked out cold by two Middleweights (Pavlik and Abraham), but Froch at SMW beat Taylor by accumulative shots and fatigue. Taylor was never knocked out in that fight.

                    I would say that Froch is a puncher ever since I saw him take out Magee in the 11th round I think it was with an uppercut. Due to the fact the power in his shots doesn't wane throughout a fight.

                    But he is not a devastating puncher.

                    I can't see Ward stopping Froch either though, unless some kind of cut opens up on Froch. I know that looking is not the same as receiving but Ward definitely doesn't look like he has a lot of pop. Let's be honest, all the big boys tend to stop Edison Miranda.

                    I expect Froch to lose wide with hardly a scratch. Ward is just so contained, he ever gets hit with silly shots, and Froch's most devastating punches ordinarily come up from outside of the line of sight and travel a long way.
