The Super Six World Boxing Classic starts tonight on Showtime and I can't wait. For those of you who haven't heard about it yet, Showtime has gotten the 6 best 168-lb fighters in the world and gotten them signed up for a tournament. This is very rare in boxing, a sport which is plagued by a cornucopia of different championship belts and difficulties in getting the best athletes in the sport to face each other.
Every boxer in the tournament is a great fighter with a shot to win it all. The eventual winner will have a rock solid claim to being the best fighter in the division, and one of the biggest stars in boxing. The first round is round robin, with each boxers scheduled for 3 bouts. The four participants with the highest point totals move on to the semifinals, at which point it becomes a single elimination tournament. Tonight the action starts off with Jermain Taylor vs. Arthur Abraham and Andre Dirrell vs. Carl Froch. Be sure to tune into the action and cheer on the Americans.

Thanks for the heads up. This sounds pretty cool. Maybe it will spawn more events like this in the future.
