I'm not big on namecalling, but you are a jerkface if you are one of the jerkface jerky weird weirdos looking for any excuse to crap on the Super Six tournament that you can. Here Showtime has pulled a rabbit out of its hat to keep the tournament going, and it was already a miracle that it even came together from the start, and you're being a weird jerkface about it?
Glen Johnson is an inspired choice to replace Mikkel Kessler and battle Allan Green Nov. 6 in one of the last bouts before the semi-finals. True, as a light heavyweight up there in the years, Johnson runs the risk of draining himself trying to make the super middleweight limit, but you got any better ideas? (I might have picked Sakio Bika, but his father recently passed away and he turned down the chance.) And won't most people pick Johnson to beat Green in that fight? The guy came just a hair away from beating younger, stronger Tavoris Cloud in his last bout. It's not like they're dropping Antwun Echols in there haphazardly the way light heavyweight Joe Spina's team is doing as a replacement for Ray Oliveira this weekend as part of their Find Any Opponent We Can That Gives Us A Great Chance Of Presiding Over A Hemotoma World Tour. And, word is, the Super Six folk are about to announce a site for Andre Ward-Andre Dirrell Nov. 27, resolving one of the previous hang-ups.
What do you people want from life? What don't you like about interesting fights in the context of a tournament of some of the best fighters in a division meeting in the ring? What bothers you about dramatic twists and turns, or high-risk bouts where a fighter getting his next big payday is heavily contingent -- as it is from a tourney points standpoint for Johnson and Green -- on one big knockout? If I could, I would start a charity aimed at separating the jerk conjoined to your face, because it is pitiful to see it grafted to your visage so.
I hope you choke on this logo. But not to the point that you die. Just so it's uncomfortable for you.
(And, yeah, Showtime's bantamweight tourney is excellent, too. It's four terrific fighters in four terrific matchups -- Yonnhy Perez, Joseph Agbeko, Vic Darchinyan, Abner Mares -- and it's easier to hold together than the Super Six tourney structure, but I like the Super Six structure just the same.)
