Steve Farhood on the Super Six World Boxing Classic

[8moody1]

I agree akapp, where is Lucian Bute? This is a sham,he destroyed Edison Miranda easier than Arthur Abraham. Whoever wins this tournament should mark a date on his calendar for a showdown with Bute.

[Jason200384]

@8moody1 i don't understand why bute isn't in this tournament. other then i totally agree with you.

[8moody1]

@Jason200384 I think that Andre Ward, will have his hands full if he has to fight Arthur Abraham let alone Lucian Bute. The winner if this "tournament" should fight Lucian Bute.

[Jason200384]

@8moody1 arthur abraham is a good fighter but he shows a lot of weaknesses when he fought dirrel. i say andre ward wins the super six but we will see how well he does with dirrel in the next match up. other then that i agree with you 100 percent.

[8moody1]

Jason200384, I was thinking about the way Ward fought Kessler,if he changes tactics he may beat Abraham but if he tries to be rough he will be in trouble.

[Ivan1781]

@8moody1 naaw make a fight with sergio martinez if he can fight that heavy

[Hypoguest]

Ward will take it....I'll bet money on it. He head butted the shit out of Kessler and got away with it even after the fight when the slo-mo proved he'd done it, the Yank commentators said zippitty doo dah.

They're gonna make sure he wins this competition no matter what. He's a good fighter too, don't get me wrong. But with all his fights in the States and his willingness to hit low and use the head, he's got to be favourite to win.

[MrTita88]

abraham will win he is the best he never loos so i think he is the gretast

[archertank2]

@MrTita88 well abrahams lost how u like them apples i like dirrell

[MrTita88]

@archertank2 wait men he wil come back and fuk him punch him again but dirrell dosen t wont

[kottto22]

I love the super six they should do this in every division! Pavlik should have grown a pair and joined up. middleweight is dull supermiddle is where its at.

Froch or abraham to win. ward is a very good fighter

[628496812833550336]

I love Super Six! Everyone is an outstanding individual. I bet that for Kelly Pavlik everyone out of this six fighters can present substantial danger. Maybe except Jermain Taylor, he is kind a history now..

[Piglatinsuperstar]

steve, you look, sound, and write like a geek. Back when you were writing for KO you could call all the shots and write what you wanted and still have customers buying your geeky mag with the chic looking logo on the cover

BTW, Hagler was the best p4p fighter of the 80s

been waiting 20 years to say it!

[liamardo007]

Kessler will punish Froch for having such a low guard. Froch is by far more powerful, but Kessler has amazing speed and relentless jab power. Froch can beat him but he has bad habits that almost cost him his title. They're all pretty equal pound for pound but it's intelligence that will win this competition.

[Dregge1]

Froch is more powerful than Kessler? lol

[SexxyAmberii]

i am really bored anyone wanna play

[HarutFromNH]

@SexxyAmberii

play what?

[Solowizard]

The only superior fighter America has is Floyd Mayweather Jr. That's it! And many Americans don't like Floyd because he reminds them of a young Muhammad Ali.

[wowknobs]

Taylor is skilled yes, but thats about it. He's never had it at super middleweight. He's always had serious stamina issues, lacks heart, no real power and a bad chin to boot.

Taylor = worst of the six by long way.

[WheresMyLadder]

1 point for a draw

2 for a stopage

3 point for a KO

4 points for a kill

[reflector2]

I am excited for this to begin. We have less than an hour until it begins.

[1adrenaline1]

froch will win.......easy money

[WesleyPipe]

ward wins everything

[franceee23]

haha you kiding right froch wil lose to kessler an abraham next and he already had to lose to dirrell

[whatho85]

They want to fight the best to be the best. Nowhere to hide. Its like a slap to the face of the scavenger Mayweather (you know what i mean)

[HarutFromNH]

this commercial always pumps me up for this tourny

[BillB808]

Comeoooon Frochy!!!!

[youngboxer89]

i have a question so can ne1 answer this questio. so when carl froch ko'd jermain taylor was that before this tounament started or the 1st fight meaning jermain taylor is eliminated. if not it will b interesting to see how jermain taylor will do in a rematch

[HarutFromNH]

No, that was a pre tournament fight and had nothing to do with the super 6. To my knowledge, that fight was scheduled before this tournament was even decided.

[ventura89]

I think the winner of Kessler and Ward will take out the whole thing

[artin2610]

arthur abraham will the win ....

[Jonepho]

King Arthur FTW!

[whenevero]

wow the watings nearly over this will be great froch all the way

[BooRikkaaa101]

Kessler has to be the favorite but I like Dirrell as a dark horse.

[ghostfase]

taylors garbage ward might have a chance

[piffpete420]

Holy never even picked up a weight Jew!

[lennard]

froch will win

[ramptondayrelease]

I got Dirrel or Abraham.

[RaptorQc]

and i think Kessler has good chances to win but maybe Froch or a young fighter like Dirrell and Ward could make a surprise if it have 3 fights in the first round

[RaptorQc]

what are the rules ??..some say that the 3winners of october and november fights plus the best perfomer of the 3 looser advance to semi-finals

OR

some say that it will be 3 fights each fighter before the semi-finals starts

i'm so confused..please answer me and sorry for my english :P

[reno573]

The competition will consist of a round robin phase, where each boxer will fight three times, and be awarded 3 points for a win by knockout or technical knockout, 2 points for a win on points, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.

The top 4 from the group phase will continue to the semi-finals, matching the leader against no. 4 and no. 2 against no. 3. The winners of the semi-finals proceed to the final, for the tournament.

there we go raptorQc

[imperialpod]

Yes ,this is all very well, but they haven't explained the FIGHT rules.

What are they, WBC,WBA,IBF?

Is there a standing 8 counts or not?

3 knockdown rule?

Surely EVERY fight should follow the same rules, however, Kessler and Froch hold different belts, so will the rules be changed or not?

They need to explain this!

[reno573]

ITS ALL THE SAME,

[imperialpod]

No its not, the WBA,WBC,IBF and WBO all have different rumes in the ring. The WBO for example has the 3 knockdown rule.

It should all be the same, but no one has said anything yet!

[reno573]

thye've agreed 2 one thing, if they didnt, there wudnt b no touriment

[reno573]

The competition will consist of a round robin phase, where each boxer will fight three times, and be awarded 3 points for a win by knockout or technical knockout, 2 points for a win on points, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.

[imperialpod]

NO NO NO.

I know all of this, what no one knows yet is whose rules will be followed DURING THE FIGHT.

[kuromoguro]

Kessler is the best of six.

I can't wait .....

[crimen]

[reno573]
