The super six has been great so far. Who do you have in the final match?

I'm thinking Abraham and Ward in the final matchup.
I'm not sure what is going to happen if Jermain Taylor has another weak showing in his next bout since he was completely dominated in the initial fight and suffered another KO. Personally, I think he would best be served by steppping away from this before he is really hurt and let the powers that be figure out what to do with a bye.

I like the American kid, Andre Ward. He was a Light HW in the Olympics and is BIG compared to the other contestants, plus he has good boxing skills and the right demeanor to kick ass, as evidenced by his ass whoopin over the Dane. 2nd up would be Abraham, who is rock solid but easy to out box. I wanna see Dirrell get KTFO already so he can go home and cry.

Boy, did Abraham lay an egg last night. Prior to the fight, I had him as one of the 2 favorites, with Ward being the other. Dirrell showed that speed of feet and hand are the best neutralizers for Abraham's punching power.
Just when he looked to be getting on track and finding the elusive Dirrell, he blatantly fouls him by hitting him while down to get disqualified. I guess the frustration he was feeling by getting outslicked by the better boxing ability of Dirrell proved too much when he hit Dirrell while he was on the canvas spread-eagle due to a slip in Abraham's corner.
Who's to say what may have happened if the fight went the distance, but Dirrell had Abraham's number in just about every round with quick hands and feet leading the way and was looking like an easy UD winner.
Now Andre Ward is the clear favorite in my book to take this title.
