Ward 168, Abraham 167

Fair play to Arreola for getting his weight down to 234 :bears:

I saw him posing in an LA Galaxy shirt with Landon Donovan and I have to say he looked slim.

 

Gee I wonder who's going to win :kidcool:

 

Man, Chris took off 30 pounds.

Nagy fights out of here in Houston and is a nice kid, but I am going with Arreola in this one.

 

The picture on Fightnews really shows off his slimmer physique.

 

I lost all hope in Abe after the Frochy fight. Ward should win this easily.

And Asseola slim or fat, is still a bum either way.

 

Yeah, you know this is going to be boring because you know AA isn't really going to try very hard.

Nipples looks slim, good on him.

 

This is probably the easiest fight to predict in the history of boxing

 

Arabham and Ward both have the same skin colour!

Maybe the ancient Egyptions were black afterall.

 

Yes, but the La Galaxy shirt says "Herbalife" which I thought was appropriate ::

 

Good stuff. I'm the first to express disgust when a heavyweight comes in fat so I'll do the opposite here:bears:

 

Ward has one of the dumbest faces I've ever seen. It's difficult to look much less intelligent than Ward.

 

He deosn´t need his head to think, just to headbutt.

I have a funny feeling about this fight. Something will happen. Either Abraham knocks him out or he gets disqualified. No way does this end as clean as Froch/Abraham given Abraham´s temper and Ward ´s tactics. Abraham really has nothing to lose at this stage and Ward isn´t as big as Froch and doesn´t punch as hard. He´s also not as fast as Dirrell.

 

You never learn, do you?

 

You are as predictable as the sun rising tomorrow. ::

 

El, nah, I just kind of think he'll plod around for 12 rounds getting outboxed and busted up. He's surely not stupid enough to get DQ'd again.

The Super 6 was a great idea, it's a shame it's been somewhat of a flop.

I honestly think it should have been double elimination or something, rather than a league. Afterall it IS called a tournament.

To put it simply, after 2 straight losses, Arabham absolutely should not be a semi finalist.

 

If predictable = free thinking, objective and free of any disgusting national bias, I agree.

 

He wants to be in the tournament. Dopey Dirrell and Kessler do not.

 

I don't think Super 6's been a flop at all. It's been very positive, despite the withdrawls, IMO.

 

I forgot this fight was even happening.

What are the odds on anything other than Ward UD?

 

The fact that Abe has basically no chance wont stop me from rooting for him. I hope he knocks Ward dead! I cant stand that boring, butting muthafucka Ward.

At this point, I must say.... I hope Froch wins it all. The crazy farmer has grown on me. He's a likeable personality, and a likeable fighter.

 

OK maybe a flop is going a bit far, but Taylor and Dirrell effectively retiring, the Dirrell fights being awful, Kessler pulling out, scrub extraordinaire Allane Green entering the tournament etc.

I mean, to call it a flop isn't going THAT far is it? ::

 

What should be pointed out is that Abraham is the smaller man, Wards butts might not be so effective here.

 

Same. No way i'm watching this i don't give a rat's ass about either guy but an Abraham knockout would be nice.

 

Absolutely, I used to hate the Fighting Farmer, but he's totally grown on me. He's likeable, funny, and he can actually fight, despite what a sloppy farmer he can sometimes look.

 

We're still gonna see all the the major Super middleweights other than Bute having fought other top Supermiddleweights and enough of those fights having happened that we'll basically know at the end who the best of the 6 is :Thumbs:

Boxing being what it is, that basically qualifies as success in my book.

 

Yeah, Froch has grown on me too. I'd like to see him win. I doubt Ward will be as impressive vs. AA

 

Must be in KG

 

Ward and Froch should be fighting in the final right now.

 

I'm in the same boat. I like Froch. Good tough fighter with solid fundamental skills. Big heart and seems like a cool dude.

And I do think he can beat Ward, honestly.
