What are the match ups now?

Abraham / Froch
Ward / Johnson

Is there much chance that they could have Ward vs Abraham and Froch vs Johnson instead?

I think that makes a lot more sense.

It was scheduled to be Froch vs Abraham II, but heard Showtime said it would be Johnson vs Froch, also heard Abraham was pulling out.

Really should just be Froch vs Ward as a final. Annoys me that Ward has been handed such a soft route and Froch has such a punishing one.

Kessler as a first opponent is not an easy route. He is better than Dirrell. Ward was also a clear underdog in that fight. It would be nice if he fights outside of Oakland though.

Glen Johnson inherited Kesslers rounds won so I gather with AA getting pretty much shut out it put him below Johnson in the tiebreaker situation. I'm sure AA will not be able to just quit, it'll be another 'injury' that will force him to pull out, Super6 can't continue without him.

It will continue because Showtime will just throw Bika in for AA and shuffle the semi finals around so Ward doesn't fight Bika immediately after tonights fight. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
