OLYMPIC DRUG TESTS FOR ANDRE WARD-ALLAN GREEN TITLE BOUT
May 12th, 2010 By Pedro Fernandez
GREEN & WARD SPAR 3,000 MILES APART
Oakland, CA- One of the few telling things that came out of the press conference at the Oracle Arena announcing World & WBA 168 lb. champion Andre Ward’s June 19th title defense against once beaten Allan Green, was that Green was in Miami on a closed circuit TV feed. “I’m not breaking up my training for a press conference.”
GREEN GIVES OAKLAND CROWD THE FINGER!
Outside of Green flashing the people in Oakland the bird, this when he was asked about one of his fingers that was taped up, the most significant thing to come out of a Goossen-Tutor PR affair, both fighters both agreed to taking Olympic style testing for performance enhancing drugs.
WARD FEELS LIKE MAYWEATHER ON ISSUE
When I asked, what about Olympic style drug testing, Ward said, “I’m all for it.” Green was asked if we would agree to testing that includes blood and urine testing, he didn’t have a problem with it at all. Promoter Dan Goossen, he said he would contact Green’s manager Greg Leon to work it out.
SIGNIFICANT & BOLD MOVE BY BOTH MEN
Being one of those that believes in greater regulation of boxing and MMA, especially when it comes to performance enhancing drugs, Ward is trying to set his own example. “I just want to make sure there’s a level playing field,” Ward said. He continued, “I’ve done it before…for about three or four years.”
GREEN ELUSIVE ABOUT WEIGHT
When asked and then pressed on his weight, Green balked and twice instead answered something like he had just finished training. Although he sounded like an angry man when appearing on “Ring Talk Worldwide” radio & TV show a few months ago. There were times when he seemed to just want to have fun, and didn’t come off as unlikeable.
THE NUMBERS FOR JUNE 19 & SHOWTIME
The 2004 Olympic Gold medalist Ward at 26 years of age is 21-0, 13 KOs. Green is 30 and 29-1, 20 KOs.
