massive boxing tournament announced

there will be a press conference on monday to announced a super middleweight tournament involving carl froch, mikkel kessler, arthur abraham, andre dirrrel, andre ward and jermain taylor.
its due to start in october with froch facing dirrel and taylor facing abraham

 

i said somet like this should be done about a month back but for the WW/LWW division. buggers stole my idea lol.

hopefully it'll be good and the rest of the divisions will do it too.

get rid of some of these stupid belts and give stuff like this a try.

 

I read this the other day on Eastside. Logistically it will be hard to pull off, but will be amazing for boxing. I pick Kessler to win it.

 

same here i cant see any of them beating kessler

 

is this act gonna happen or is it just speculation? unless its based in fact i cudnt really see it happenin, although somethin has got to be done about the belts

 

Showtime are having a press conference on Monday, all 6 fighters and their promoters have confirmed they're attending. When this was first proposed I thought it sounded too good to be true but it looks like itls really happening.

I'll take Kessler to win but I'm looking forward to seeing Dirrell and Ward - they both have a lot of talent but are taking a huge step-up in class (for which they should be commended).

Abraham should be even stronger at 168 so he can't be discounted either - I'm really looking forward to this.

 

It's definitely on! Can't wait. This is like the World Cup of boxing.

This is really to be applauded - I didn't think they would pull it off.

Just the sort of imaginative move that boxing has been crying out for - and tbh I think (indirectly) we have UFC to thank for it. ( "Thank you, UFC" )

I'm not convinced it could be replicated at a lot of other weights though - there's just a number of go-for-it guys at 168. Froch because he's like that, Taylor because he's still stinging after the Froch fight, Kessler because he reckons he can take any of them.

Personally I think Kessler is right - but Abraham is the interesting dark horse for me. It's step-up time for him, big style.

 

andre ward looks different

 

Hows it going to work ? * missing Buncies hour. Losing touch with the goings on

 

it would never happen but picture one of these in the welterweight division

mayweather, mosley, cotto, pacquiao, marquez and margarito

 

im missing it aswell, and even worse sky getting setanta's big fights and puttiing them on PPV

 

I think Froch will be exposed in this tournament and i cant see Abraham doing to well either. Im also going for Kessler but i have a feeling about Taylor i think he is being written off too soon.
