Many fans and writers have called for an end to the Super Six super middleweight round robin and tournament. I don't understand this sentiment in the least. Imagine you have a harem of six beautiful women. Three of the six leave and are replaced by two (less) attractive women. Scrapping the tournament would be like abandoning your harem to go home and masturbate.
Think of what's to come in the Super Six. I've been excited for Froch-Abraham for a while. Ward will likely fight Froch, Abraham, or both when the tournament reaches the single elimination portion. We might get to watch Froch-Abraham II. And I'm intrigued to see tomorrow's fight between Johnson and Green, so we can finally uncover if Green is a viable contender or not.
Of course, with the luck of the Super Six, Johnson-Green will end in a draw and no one will know what to do to about the fourth spot of the semifinals. But without the tournament, there's no guarantee that we would witness these contests or anything remotely as interesting in the super middleweight division.
