Allan Green against substitute opponent Tarvis Simms. The rest of the tripleheader: Antwone Smith vs. Henry Crawford Marcus Johnson vs. Victor Villareal
Who was Green initially going to face? I thought Tarvis Simms was like a junior middle-weight. Wasn't he?
Victor Oganov. He's staying busy in case the super middles need a replacement, I believe. Tarvis has fought at super middle and above. The other one was the 154 champ.
Tarvis? Damn, the other Simms brother finally gets a halfway relevant fight at the tender age of 38. ::
Marcus Johnson is a Texas TREASURE...w/Apologies to Charles Hatley & Luis Yanez, Johnson is Probably THE BEST Fighter in the State....It's About Time the Rest of the Boxing World Got a Glimpse of this Kid...He's THE GOODS!!... REED:hammert:
REED WANTS to Like Allan Green, but it's about Time he Either SHAT or Got Off the Fucking Toilet...Since he's NOT in the Supermiddle Tourney, Green Needs to DESPERATELY Angle for the Winner of Bute-Andrade II.... REED:mj:

:: There's NOfuckingREASON why U or Anybody Else Would've EVER Seen that Article, Since it was BURIED on Fightbeat's "Homepage".... REED:hammert:
I really wonder why Allan Green is not in the SMW tournament? He is really setting the world on fire against a 38 year old blown up overweight middleweight, who took the fight on a week notice. Always the guys, who talk the biggest sh*t that can´t deliver, when it matters.
DECENT Card, but Quite Honestly it FAILED to Live Up to the PRE-FIGHT Excitement REED had... Marcus Johnson is an EXCELLENT Fighter, but REED Felt like he SHOULD have Gotten his Opponent Out of there...REED can't Help But Compare Johnson to his Fellow Texas Pugilist, Charlie Hatley & On that Note, Hatley WOULD Have Gotten that Guy OUT of There...Hatley is GUILTY of SACRIFICING Defense Sometimes, but Dude is a TRUE Puncher...There's NOfuckingWAY Hatley would've Hit a Guy THAT OFTEN, yet Went a Full 8 Rounds... As for Allan Green, REED is to the Point of Realizing that he Holds Green in HIGHER Regard than Most Because he's MET the Dude & Saw him Spar a Handful of Rounds...If REED had NEVER Been Around Green, he'd Probably Feel like Everybody Else Seems To....Bottom Line, there's just Something LACKING w/Green...& there's NO Consistency WHATSOEVER... Going the Distance w/a BLOATED Tarvis Simms is UNfuckingACCEPTABLE...Green had a MASSIVE Height, Reach, Strength, Power & Overall SIZE Advantage, yet he NEVER EVER Used it...Boxing is 1 of those Sports where EVERY Performance is of the UTMOST Importance...Your Stock Either Goes UP or DOWN & UNlike Football, Baseball or Basketball, a Fighter has to ACCEPT & SIT ON a Subpar Performance MUCH Loooooooooooooonger than Other Athletes... Well, even in Winning, this was a Step BACKWARDS for Allan Green...Dude is 30 so it's Time to STOP Living Off of Potential & Bravado...It's to the Point that Green NEEDs to Fight the Winner of Bute-Andrade II OR Get a RE w/Edison Miranda...Anything OTHER than that & Even REED WON'T give a Flying Fuck... REED:hammert:
Can someone tell me why Showtime had this fight labeled as the Jermain Taylor - Carl Froch fight when it wasn't?:dunno: I almost missed it.
