I would like nothing more than Green to win via knockout, but I can't see it happening. Green is one of the good guys in the sport and hasn't always had a fair ride to the top. I think Ward will be too quick and too disciplined, but Green might be hungrier and that desire can on occasions be enough.

Green has no chance to win in Oakland
Ward refused to fight in the tournament unless he got "ALL" his fights in his home town! How did he get that? Why not the others? Green will be cheated! Ward will have his own personal referee and judges! His home town, commentators, etc. All of Ward's opponents will be cheated as well. Who gave him that advantage? What if ALL boxers refused to fight unless all their fights were in their home town?! No more fight period! Green will have to fight Ward and Ward's referee! Ward's ref allowed him to get by with the famous "Billy Goat" head butt, yes, Ward's ref believes that head butts are legal as long as they come from Ward. Green will have an uphill battle! Ward can punch low, head butt, elbow, cuff, you name it. Green will get disq. if he knocks Ward out. I guess Ward's personal ref will pick Ward up off the canvas and raise his hand!

Green
Yes, he did--85%-90% of his colon was removed. Not sure why, he said in an interview it was paralyzed [why?] but they don't remove most of your colon to provide an excuse for losing a fight, and photos of him at that time show him looking--unwell, thin, wan, for someone that conditioned. I've only seen him beat Tarvis Sims, no other fight; I think it's too close to call, but a Green KO wouldn't shock me at all. I guess maybe I'd give Green a 51% chance, Ward 49% in this one.

Why 51% to 49%? What intangables gives Green the edge against Ward other than power? I think that Wards power might be getting overlooked in this bout. Lets take a common opponent(I'm not using Miranda for obvious reasons); Jerson Ravelo, by no means a world beater but a solid opponent nonetheless. They both got rid of him within 8 rds. Also Ward has faced the better comp at 168, WORLD class comp, so I really would like to know how you got Green with a slight edge in this fight.

He has 1 decent win in his hometown.
Nobody else aside from Kessler is worth a damn on the world class level. That was always the criticism against him. Goosen was bringing him along SLOW...
Lets see where he ends up after this tournament before we throw "great" around.
Man up Coach, don't jump on the bandwagon that fast. I know he likes God just like you but that don't mean he's great.
