Clip: Green destroys Codrington in 18 Seconds

Here's an interview with Green: BT: First of all, congratulations on your win last night. Impressive performance, only 18 seconds. There was a lot of talk before the fight, you felt he disrespected you and it made you mad. What was going through your mind when that bell rang last night? AG: Just like exactly what I said I was going to do. I wasn’t coming out there to box, I wasn’t coming out there to put on a show. I was going to put pressure on him and knock him out, and that’s what I did. BT: After the fight, you were pretty pumped up in there. You and your team were celebrating… AG: (interrupts)Yeah we were celebrating, I’m going to explain to you what happened. Before the fight this guy , keeps running up to my father telling my father I’m gonna get knocked out. Then he runs over to my family, where my grandmother and my mother are sitting, cursing and telling them that Allan Green’s gonna get knocked the f**k out. Then he comes over to me on the way to the ring, running in my face (and) telling me ‘you’re fittin to get knocked the f**k out’. Then after I get in there and knock the kid out, one of his buddies comes up in the ring (and) tries to grab one of the police officer’s guns to get at me. Nobody said anything about that. But they wanted to complain about a shout out that I gave to one of my sponsors? They don’t want me to have sponsors now? But this guy tried to grab a gun and get at me, and they disrespected my family, but I’m the bad guy? Why can’t it just be about Allan Green knocked out Jaidon Codrington, the guy who they said was gonna beat me. Why does it have to be about anything else? Don’t take away my credibility. BT: I think what people were trying to say is that this young man was being carried out on a stretcher and you’re giving a shout out to your dealer. Some people were saying that showed a lack of class, how do you respond to that? AG: You know what? They can all kiss my ass for the fact that before I said that, I said I hope the young man is alright. My sponsors pay my bills. I have to say what I have to say to them. They can’t make me out to be the bad guy. Before I said that, I said I hope the young man’s alright, I hope he comes out fine. This is the boxing game. When he signed the contract, and when his promoter signed the contract, he knew what he was getting himself into. I hope he’s okay, but now that I know he is I don’t feel sorry for him. Had it been me, they would have been talking all this noise, all this hoopla like they did on the Internet. BT: Last night, you proved you’re for real. Have you talked to Tony Holden yet about what’s next for Allan Green? AT: Oh yeah, I have talked to Tony. We’re trying to hopefully crack the top ten. Like I told you before, I wanted somebody in the top ten. I don’t want to fight with the kid, I wanted somebody better. And now because people (were) in this kid’s ear telling him this and that this kid may not have a career now. And I’m gonna tell you something, I’m not the one who’s supposed to feel sorry about that. We’re in the hurt business and you get hurt. And had it been me, I’d feel the same way.

Might want to pad your record and establish a rep before you call yourself a "The Chin Checkers". Got his chin checked.

This kid's career is done. I don't think he can come back from a KO that bad at that age.

Where the F&%$ was the ref??? are you serious??? it was the first round, had that been the 8th, you could complain, but no ref wants to stop the fight after 5 seconds in the first round

Moral of the story: Never pick an inexperienced guy with under 10 fights on his resume against a guy with 15+ wins. I don't think it had anything to do with experience. That could of happened even if it was Codrington with the 15 wins. He just got caught with a good lefthook early which setup the ending. Now experience would of been a factor if Codrington had been dominated for a few rounds and then knocked out.

Update: PRESS RELEASE: In a super middleweight match-up of former Golden Gloves champions, Oklahoma native Allan Green knocked out Jaidon Codrington shortly after the opening bell, on ShoBox: The New Generation. The fight was waved off 18 seconds into the first round as Codrington, unconscious, fell through the ropes. Codrington remained out on the canvas for roughly three minutes before regaining consciousness. Codrington was taken to Integris Baptist Regional Health Center in Miami where initial reports indicated that he had suffered a fractured sixth vertebrae. Doctors have since retracted that diagnosis, according to promoter Lou DiBella, and Codrington was released after neurological tests and CAT scans of the vertebrae came back negative. A full recovery is expected.

That was an absolutely crushing series of punches. Looks like Codrington was actually presenting his jaw to Green near the end.

hey bozo do you have the whole fight ?? including the whole after fight deal?? if so how much??

A great story would be Curtis Stevens...later in his career...coming out and challenging Green for his fallen comrade and knocking him out in a slugfest. It would definitely be a compelleing story.

Man that shit was as brutal as it gets. Bozo good updates I was wondering if he was allright cuz the kid got KTFO. Imo poor kid will never be the same after that, it would be a miracle if he is ever the same in the ring.

Moral of the story: Never pick an inexperienced guy with under 10 fights on his resume against a guy with 15+ wins. Yeah but they were only separated by a few fights. I like green. But moral of the story for me: Winner of tonights super middle weight bout will do to Green what Green did to Jaidon. Jeff or Scott.

Yeah I said it a month ago. Codrington did not belong in the ring with Green. Allan is a starved Elephant...and if he was not a vegetarian he would be a cruiserweight. Man v.s. Boy in there.

That shit makes me so sad...I hope Jaidon will be all right...

It was 18 seconds. If the fight was stopped any earlier people would be calling robbery. The referee made the right decision.

He was right there, and in regular motion it doesn't look like he did anything wrong. The end sequence happened so fast.

Where the F&%$ was the ref???

Shades of the Tua Ruiz fight for sure.

that ref was awesome he was kicking people out left and right shoving and pushing people away trying to keep people from being all over crodington.
