In the Super Six I have to admit I am entirely a homer rooting for the US fellows. Jermain Taylor got waxed by Arthur Abraham in the 12th round but by that point I had Abraham up by enough points to win without a knockout.

The fight that really bugged me watching it on Showtime was the Froch v. Dirrell matchup. It was a chippy fight but Al Berstein was so biased it made me a little sick.  I was a soooo rooting for Dirrell to win that if my scoring was going to be biased it would be in favor of Dirrell.  But at the end of the day I had it 115-112 Froch. 

It was a sloppy fight but I thought Froch did enough to win.  But I will love to see Dirrell's herky-jerky werky-wonky defensive style against Abraham's turtle in the shell until I strike Abraham.  Will either even hit the other until the 12th round?

Great night of boxing.
