Alan Green can do one thing well, very well, and that is hit! Not a great boxer, looks at his feet too much, moves straight in and straight back for the most part, but is very dangerous in the Nigel Benn mold, not saying he is as good as attacker Benn was, because he is not, but this man can crank. He is too stiff at times, and can be his own worst enemy as he doesn't punch often enough, but it is not wise to engage him in a punch out, and he also measures the distance of his right hand very well. I don't know if he will win one fight here in this tournament, but I will say he is the most dangerous hitter by far.
:: So many people say this, but I must admit, I haven't noticed it. Could you tell me which fight it's particularly evident in?
Nope. And he wont get one. Well.... I dunno. Kessler looked so old tonight, that Green has a puncher's chance. But then again... Green doesnt have the chin to take Kessler's power.
What is with this colon issue? It means one of two things: 1. He has no guts. 2. He is not as full of shit as we thought he was.
It Happens in Practically EVERY Allan Green Fight...He Even Does it in SPARRING Too... Whenever Green DISengages from his Opponent he Looks DOWNWARD @ his Shoes...Almost as if he's Searching for the Proper Place to RE-SET Them...1 of the STRANGEST Habits REED's Ever Seen in Boxing, but it's Legit.... REED:hammert:
Bottom line is this: Green is in tournament and as long as he is, he will have to be dealt with by whoever he is facing. He is about to face a whole shit load of top 10 opponents and my guess is that he posits as many problems for them as they do for him.
agREED... This is All REED has Been Trying to Say, Really...Sure, Allan Green has UNDERachieved Thus Far, but to Act as if he has NO Chance to Win a Fight in this Tournament is ASSinine... REED:mj:
It pains me to say this but.... Green is a live underdog vs the Kessler of last night. Mikkel has declined, and is now pretty easy to find. Green isnt as tough in the chin department as Froch, but he DOES have more power then Froch, I'll admit that. If he KO'd Kessler I wouldnt be too shocked. But I cant see him beating Ward. He and Kessler will fight in a battle of Ward's children.
The way I look at it too....he is there, and that is all about it. It doesn't matter who he has or hasn't fought...he is signed to fight the WBA 168lb man in his next fight. And its not like people can say he doesn't deserve it either. He was invited in, and he accepted.
What time is this fight? I'm fucking knackered but I might hang around if it is any time soon... MTF :dunno:
If Green LOSES Tonight, REED SWEARS he'll Stop Polluting your Eye's w/Allan Green Posts, Brother X.....NO Excuses Tonight, Mr. Green.... REED:dancingBaby:
Green's gotta bank on father time AND the scale to beat Johnson tonight. Theres basically no way in hell he could beat even the Johnson from even the first Dawson fight. And I dont really mind Green as a person, Brotha REED. He seems like a cool and witty cat, who's funny as hell. He just sucks as a fighter.
al green blows and johnson is too tough to get KOd early, i expect he'll put hot grits on this fellow. viva JA
