Green Isn't as BAD as he Looked in the Miranda Fight (which he FOOLISHLY MOVED DOWN to 160 for) & He Isn't as GOOD as he Looked in the Codrington Beatdown...The TRUE Allan Green is Somewhere in the Middle... Obviously, REED Sees More in the Guy that Most Others Do, but Even REED is Taking a NOW or NEVER Attitude w/the Guy...2010 or BUST...It's IMPERATIVE that Green Find Himself in a MEANINGFUL Supermiddle Fight NEXT YEAR!!!... REED:fightme:
:: Even REED WOULDN'T Favor Green to WIN the Super 6, but THE ONLY Guy that REED Would CONFIDENTLY Pick to Beat Green is Arthur Abraham...REED Can't See Dirrell & Ward Going an ENTIRE Fight w/Out "FEELING" Green's Power, Froch Gets HIT toooooo Much, EVERYBODY Beats Taylor & Who Knows if Kessler has CHECKED OUT Mentally or Not.... REED:hammert:
:laughing::laughing: Yep, he CAN'T Keep his Eye's OFF of 'em...It's THE STRANGEST In-Ring Habit REED has Ever Seen in a Boxer...Dude Does the Same Shit in Sparring Too... REED:hammert:
Like Bernard Hopkins, Green has Fought as HIGH as Crusier...UNlike Bernard Hopkins, Green has a MUCH THICKER Frame...When he Used to Spar in Dallas, Dude Walked Around in the HIGH 190's-200 lbs & had VERY LITTLE Fat on him... REED:hammert:
If REED were Matchmaking for Green, he'd Get him an IMMEDIATE RE w/Miranda...Miranda ISN'T what he Used to B, but he Still Represents THE ONLY Blemish on Green's Record... WAX Miranda Impressively, then Go After Andrade...By then, Pavlik, Bute or the WBOgus CHUMPion Might Need a Dance Partner...Preferrably the WBOgus Guy OVER Bute Though... REED:hammert:
... is a professional boxer of the super middleweight division. A notable contender, Green has a current record of 28 wins with 20 knockouts, and one decision loss. Green had a stellar amateur career despite not making the Olympic Games, winning the 2002 National Golden Gloves, at 178 lbs, and compiling a 55-6 record. During the 2002 Golden Gloves tournament Allan beat Mike Tyson's two decade old 8 second knockout record. He also was five time Oklahoma state champion, and four time regional champion, before coming pro at age 23. Green made his professional debut on November 9, 2002, with a one round TKO victory against Robert Dykes, in his fourth fight he outpointed Ola Afolabi. Green's career was on the upswing, and he made his ShoBox (a notable prospect show) debut with a 7 round TKO victory against Rocky Smith. It was perhaps Green's second appearance on ShoBox that gained notoriety for his blistering eighteen second KO victory against Jaidon Codrington. Green stunned Codrington and pinned him to the ropes, then threw brutal combinations before finishing with a left hook to the chin. The punch knocked Codrington unconscious and he fell through the ropes. The one round victory earned Green the 2005 Ring Magazine knockout of the year. Green's first challenge was against Donnie McCrary. After knocking down McCrary early in the 3rd round, Green was knocked down for the first time in his career, but rallied back and won with a sixth round KO. Green's next fight was against Contender member Anthony Bonsante, where Green cruised and won with a sixth round knockout. On October 14, 2006, Green brutally TKO'd former Olympian Jerson Ravelo on ESPN. On March 3, 2007, Green moved down to 162 pounds to face middleweight contender Edison Miranda. Miranda would win by unanimous decision in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The bout was televised on HBO, and was noted for Green's surprisingly unspectacular performance. Miranda dominated most of the fight and knocked Green down twice in the last round. Green mentioned afterward that moving down to middleweight was a major factor in his lack of aggression. He did, however, manage to floor Miranda in the eighth round, but failed to capitalize on the opportunity. Green stated his intentions to remain at super middleweight after this fight. Green returned to the ring in July 2007, disposing of Darrell Woods in one round. Days after this win Green underwent major surgery to remove 85% of his colon. Green has stated that the illness caused him problems as early as the Miranda fight. On October 19, 2007 at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Oklahoma, Allan Green stopped Sherwin Davis in two rounds. Green, fighting for the first time since July (w ko 1 Darrell Woods), and following abdominal surgery, had Davis down twice in round one before closing the show. Allan Green defeated Rubin Williams of Detroit on January 4, 2008. The fight was televised on ESPN2. Green recently was forced to turn down an HBO-televised meeting with Andre Ward, who represented the U.S. in the 2004 Olympics, capturing the gold medal in the light heavyweight division. Green wants a Ward fight and another HBO exposure, but he already had made the commitment to the Williams date. Green was scheduled to face Antwun Echols on February 29, 2008 as part of Friday Night Fights on ESPN2. However, Green abruptly pulled out of the fight with 24 hours notice. No explanation was given. Green fought Carl Daniels on 11/15/08 in Nashville Tennessee and won by TKO in the 7th round. Green then fought on April 25, 2009 at Foxwoods Resort, Mashantucket, Connecticut on the under card of the Jermain Taylor vs. Carl Froch fight. Green fought Carlos De Leon Jr. Green defeated De Leon by TKO in the second round.
Codrington could've been something special. Too bad all these young up and coming afro-american fighters are not mentally strong like they used to be a couple of decades ago. Now it's all flash and show. Back in the day your trainer taught you discipline before anything else.
Taking it Fuuuuurther, It Seems to B the New York & Eastern Based African-American Fighters...They Get in the Ring & Expect Guys to Roll Over just Because they're from BROOKLYN or Wherever Else... REED:kidcool:
Green doesn't even mention fighting Miranda again and I heard the fight was offered to him and he turned it down.. Forgot where I saw it but like REED said now is the time for him to fight Miranda and clear up that blemish..
just who has green beaten? the only impressive win i can recall is the codrington fight and that only lasted seconds. even against that bum son of de leon, he showed shitty defense and vulnerability. he could probably beat today's versions of taylor and lacy but that's about it. he'll lose badly next time he steps up.
