I had Kessler winning the whole thing. I was supporting Froch, but didn't think he had much of a chance.
I was fighting the "Abraham is vastly overrated" corner when the tourni was announced, because lots of people were picking him to win, whereas I had never seen much good in him, and saw him struggle against average opponents like Elvin Ayala and Khoren Gevor.
Tbh I didn't know much about Dirrell, apart from a lot of US fans hated him, because they said some of his fights were a disgrace. I knew Ward was good, but wasn't sure if he was ready to take on the best (I couldn't have been more wrong.)
Since Ward beat Kessler, I backed him to win the tournament. I've also been pleasantly surprised by Froch, and still don't think he lost to Dirrell, who didn't start throwing or sitting down on any of his punches until the 9th round.

The ones I offically have wrong are Froch-Dirrell and Froch-Abraham. But I felt Dirrell beat Froch.
I also origally picked Abraham to beat Dirrell but changed my mind to Dirrell to beat Abraham.
The rest I got right.
I thought the winner would be Ward or Kessler.
No way did I think Carl Froch would get to the final. I would have bet £1,000+ he wouldn't get to the final.
So he proved me wrong big time.

Old post I found.
AA vs Dirrell- March 6th, 2010
Ward vs Green/Bika- Feb. 5, 2010 on Showtime, winner faces Ward on the same night as Kess-Froch
Kessler vs Froch- April 17th, 2010, Showtime
I think the AA-Dirrell fight will surprise a few people. Abraham had a target that stayed right in front of him in Taylor, but Dirrell will not do that. Dirrell will give him alot of movement, and box him. I think AA has to pressure Dirrell and make him fight, however, Froch didn't seem to hit Dirrell with anything too big that hurt him. AA is bigger puncher than Froch and if he lands clean, Dirrell can be in trouble. Dirrell needs to get a bit more under control and sit down on his shots and fight a whole 12 rounds (if it goes the distance that is). I like Dirrell to win this one in a 12 round decision because I believe he will not make the same mistakes from his fight with Froch.
I think Ward beats the winner of this fight, with his superior boxing skills and determination. But Green-Bika should be a good one. Bika has knocked out his last 4 opponents, and Green is looking for his time to shine. I will call this fight about a week before it happens.
Kessler-Froch, I'm going to go with Kessler, although I have never really been largely impressed by him. Likewise, Froch has not largely impressed me. But these guys are two of the top fighters at this weight and I believe that Kessler will have something to prove come fight night. Neither guy put forth their best performance in Stage One of the tourney, so I honestly see this as being the most competitive fight of this Stage. Froch has been doing some trash talking, so lets see it that will translate into a victory on April 17th.

I picked Ward to win the whole thing...I have gained MASSIVE appreciation/respect for Froch, hes has been more than a pleasant surprise.

Dirrell-Froch was no robbery....A man who goes and tries to give head every time his opponent gets close doesn't deserve to win...And, even round by round scoring the fight was still close and debatable. There was swing rounds and it was just so ugly and hard to score that I can't see how anyone calls that a robbery.
But, every single fight now that is close that goes the other way is a robbery.

ive been right in every fight except Froch v AA and Ward v Kessler. I cant remember who i picked for Froch v Kessler, i think i picked Kessler just cos he was at home but im not certain so I've done well in my individual fight picks (although Froch probably shouldn't have got the nod against Dirrel)
But i picked AA to win the whole thing before it started so Im still feeling pretty ******

I think I got almost all of it wrong. I had Froch over Johnson, other than that I completely missed I think.
Well, other than Ward's fights after Kessler. That made it pretty clear he was the best fighter in the tourney.
