I was shocked at how terrible Rubin Williams looked! I've always thought of him as one of your more underrated super middle weights who just made a strategy mistake when he fought Jeff Lacy but would eventually redeem him self with a world title. Well that all went out of the window when he looked so terrible and lethargic against Allan Green. I know he was inactive for a year and struggled to make weight but I wasn't expecting his performance to be this stale.
The Rubin Williams that fought Antwan Echols and Jeff Lacy was the Rubin Williams I was banking on to show up for this fight but he was a no show. The war he fought with Antwan Echols was classic and I figured there was no way Allan was going to be able to keep up with that type of a work rate but Rubin rarely put more than two punches together at a time for the whole fight. Shame, what a waste.
