Potential Super Six Cruiserweight schedule

During the Polish broadcast for Wlodarczyk vs Robinson, the broadcasters presented what will seemingly be a potential schedule for the first stage of proposed "Super Six" analogue among the cruiserweights. IBF champion Steve Cunningham (23-2, 12 KOs) will put his title at risk against hard-hitting Russian bomber Denis Lebedev (22-0, 17 KOs), while WBO master Marko Huck (30-1, 23 KOs) collides with French WBA interim beltholder Steve Herelius (20-1-1, 12 KOs) in a partial unification of the titles; both contests to be held in December. In January 2011, WBC champion Wlodarczyk will take on Yoan Pablo Hernandez (22-1, 11 KOs) in the third and last fight of the first stage. This schedule is surely a preliminary one.

They should make it a super 8 and have three single elimination rounds. The super six style is too complicated.

Or go with the top four even. What the Super Six has shown is time is the enemy. The event must be kept as short as possible in order to hold together.

Good point being that there are only four cruiserweights in the entire division.

LOL, yeah, Steve Cunningham and the other three guys.

i agree that we should make it 8 or 4. make it tournament style with brackets. the only upside of having the 6 people is that it creates more possible match ups. but like marb said, time is the enemy.

No US TV for this? Hopefully ESPN swoops in on this

The good thing about this tournament, I believe all fighters are under the same banner, Sauerland

Showtime originally planned to do double headers for the SMW Super Six but promoters and the rest of the crap killed that

The only Super Six double header that came off was the first round w/Taylor-Abraham & Froch-Dirrell

It is up to ESPN at this point.

Speaking of them, those jokers at Oceanic Time Warner Cable dropped ESPN Classic from the basic tier and put it on the "sports package." Cost me another $5 a month. Of course now I also get all the Australian Rules football, surfing and High school football I can handle.

However they do it I'm happy it's getting done. The Cruiserweight division has been filled with unheralded fighters and great-great fights since I can remember.

I am not happy about Hernandez and Herlielus being included, Troy Ross and Alexander Frenkel should be in their places.

DirecTv did the same. Out of that whole package i only watch ESPN classic.

We don't have it on Cablevision here either. Dropped it about six months ago.

How it works for me too. Oh well.

Could have used Ross or even Green, but still sounds good. We'll all be scrambling for feeds on here.
