    Why was Green at the fight last night?

    I find it strange that he would be storing away knowledge on these guys when he has to fight Ward first, and then Kessler. You are not supposed to look past any of your opponents, and he is already looking at guys that he wouldn't fight for over a year from now.

        I don't think the Ward fight is until June.
        He's enough time left to get focused and in shape . . .

        Of course it won't matter though, because he's going to lose.

          probably just to watch the fight???

          no really, theres nothing wrong with advanced scouting and being there to promote his upcoming fight

            Yeah especially when his chances of making it into the quarters are slim as hell.

            I know he does some announcing some times, but they just had Tarver last night didn't they?

              OT, but i wouldnt mind seeing green in the booth in the future. he speaks better than most fighters and looks comfortable in front of a camera.

                He, Ward, and Jim Gray had a little interview about their upcoming fight before Dirrell-Abraham.

                It was funny though, Gray asked him if he thought Ward could've continued with the injury. Green basically replied, "I know I said somethings in the papers, but at the end of the day, I'm not the one with the injury...."

                  showtime needs to get as much publicity on green as possible, that's why green was there. they want people to know that taylor is out and green is in.

                    Ward has Dirrell after Green. I mean, that may be looking past one opponent, but... at least it's not the possibility of fighting a one of those two guys two fights down the line.

                    Lol, professional fighters aren't supposed to think they are going to lose.

                    Tarver is on contract to announce with Showtime I think. He's decent at it. I honestly expected better because he's an intelligent, articulate and funny dude.

                    Same here. I was super impressed by his explanation of speed power vs. blunt force power on FNF a long time ago.
