Green: "My Power, Speed Will Overwhelm Andre Ward"

By Mark Vester

Super middleweight contender Allan Green doesn't plan to waste any time when he faces WBA champion Andre Ward on April 17 in the Super Six tournament. Green takes the place of Jermain Taylor who withdrew after suffering a bad knockout in his first Super Six bout against Arthur Abraham last year.

Green plans to test Ward's chin early. He doesn't think Ward can handle his power and speed. Green has the edge in power but Ward seems to be the quicker fighter in the contest. A fun fight while it lasts.

"I see Andre Ward being overwhelmed by my hand speed and power," Green said to Tulsa World. "He's never been in with a guy that has the firepower that I have. We'll find out what he's made of immediately."
