I dont think he'll beat Ward but I was wondering do you guys think he'll have a chance to make ANYTHING happen in this tournament at all? I feel all he has a good right hand but other then that he really isnt that good... Thats just my opinion.
He has got a punchers chance, Green has the kind of power that can turn a fight around no matter how bad it is for him.....kind of like AA.
What he said^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. I dont like this fight for Ward, much risk not much reward.
He had the bad luck to be left out of the tournament to begin with, then the bad luck to have Ward as his first opponent when he got into it. Ward will likely box his ears off, dont know who Greens last opponent in the tournament will be, it depends on that. I feel he can beat Froch, Kessler, and make it close with Dirrell.
what ppl forget is that allan green is a massive puncher, maybe the hardest puncher in the division. he has a punchers chance against most fighters, and hes got some boxing skills to go with that power aswell. good boxer puncher who will bring issues to everyone at 168 for diffrent reason, against ward its the punch.
lou dibella said they didnt have to come to oakland but green didnt mind bucz he felt confident he would win by KO, saying ward is chinny.
against kessler in the last round i give him a great chance of winning, i think hes the overall better fighter compared to kessler.
Of course he does. He can bomb anyne out.
Please, sog is nice but people need to relax. Dirrel's win v Abe was way better than sog's win vs a kessler who hAsn't looked even decent in a fight since joecal.
Dirrel is the fighter of the tourney to me. He improved so much from his decent victory over froch (Freudian slip) to when he put it on abraham (most dangerous fighter in tourney).
Green has a punchers chance, but not more. He might be a leading contender to get a ride with the supersix, but he has been a disappointment. His biggest fight to date was Edison Miranda.

yea I'l give him a punchers chance but outboxing Ward isnt happening:boxing:
yes fight like a mofo
get rough on the inside
try to time uppercuts when Ward falls/lunges in to grab.
Its doable and hes got the power to change a fight with one punch.
I think he does have a chance for two reasons. One he's a wildcard. He hasn't fought since last year (his last two fights were meaningless against simms and de leon). And although he looked lackluster against Simms I think he can turn it on when it really counts.
Second reason I think he has a chance is that he's mentally tough. I don't think that he'll allow Ward to rough him up in the clinches or allow Ward to have one free hand to hit his side or head. And I think if he connects with his left hook or right upper cut (imo his best punches) he can stun and Ward enough to eke out a decision.
