He should quit bein a dumbass. He spent too much time telling the ref it was behind the head. Like the ref is gonna change his mind in between the count.
Ref: 1... 2... 3...
Green: Ref, it was behind the head.
Ref: 4... wait, what? Behind the head. Oh, my bad, I'll just take ur word for it. Nevermind, no knockdown
The way he was bending from the waiste it was a straight path for the right. He didn't even keep his hand up so it is on him. It wasn't a blatant or a mal intentional punch
The weight is not an issue, he lacks confidence. He's a mental case and that's why he will never do well against the top fighters. I don't even rate his win over Ola. That was a 4 round fight back in 2003 and it was Ola's 3rd fight.
Allan Green talks alot better than he fights and you need to put him in the ring with B and C-level fighters in order for him to look decent.
It's not all of the issue, but part of it. Come on, you can tell by looking at him he looked drain his last two fights. He come in 166 for Ward.
I've never said he was world class, all I said was he can punch and has some skill. I feel his best weight is 175lb, were he was as a amatuer and early part of his pro career, were he wound't be as weight drained.
I feel there could be a few decent fights for him at 175lb, he needs to take time off and work on a few things and then come back. Him vs Luis Garcia is the fight I'd like to see.

You hit it on the head, if the fight doesn't goes the way he wants he mentally collapses
PLEAAAASSSSEEEEEEE, tell Greg Leon to tell his fighter to move up and leave this alone. The shot landed in a legal area and this is bull ****. He shouldnt have gotten caught with the shot anyway and he had time to complain....get your ass up while complaining
Man this guy is out of focus, either he get his **** back up all together or he better say goodbye to boxing...what a shame, i thought he had it, i thought he had it...
If Green was coherent enough to argue with the ref about the punch as soon as he went down, he was coherent enough to make the 10 count with no problem.
The worst thing about this is that we have to see Allan Green's name in the news for two more days. But I look forward to watching his next fight on ESPN 2.
Green is living in dream land. He was NEVER going to beat someone as skilled as Johnson. It was a legit win for Johnson.. Another ass trying to screw him over. Green you was on queer street!
Would like Green to fight some of these fighters at 175lb....Luis Garcia, Karo Murat, Jameson Bostic, Dustin Dirks, & Adrian Diaconu.
thats the level hes reduced to...or maybe he was at that level from the start...take ur pick
I think he should have considered fighting at 175 a long time ago. Right now he seems to fall apart like a deck of cards every time the pressure is put on him, both mentally and physically. He just doesn't seem to have it at this stage. It has been three tough losses now every single time he has stepped up in competition and he doesn't look to have the mentality to put those behind him.
Some good points there. But I still would like to see him at 175lb. He fougt most of his early career there, but the drop to 168lb does him no favours.
He seems to tire really easy, and his punch resistance is not so good. He always looks so drained at the weigh in and even fight times I noticed in his last two fights.
At least at 175, the cut won't take as much out of him, and he may have more to give. He's also never been defeated at 175lb.
He's not world class, but can punch and has some skill. I find his Ola Afolabi(Former WBO Crusierweight Interim Champion) win fairly underrated, although both were still prospects.
He needs to work do more on his defence and range finding.
green doesn't want to exit the super 6, but he needs to accept the loss. the road warrior pwns him in sparring and in the ring. he shouldnt be too upset... bute still needs an opponent so he'll get to fight another day on showtime.
You know how hard it is to read with a gif at the bottom of the text? :ugh:
Just got a press release saying they are appealling it as Green went down due to rabbit punches.
I like Green, he seems a nice guy but I dunno.

Really? I think maybe he should give 175lb a try and see how he does there after some time off. I do think the weight cut really hurts him at 168lb, he did win the Golden Gloves at 175lb to.

Instead of complaining about Glen Johnson hitting him with a right hand on the side of the head, perhaps he should correct his mistake of constantly being vulnerable for the punch.
