    Green should just move to 175lbs and leave this alone.
    He got KO'd.

    Yeah, put him against Bute as a stay busy fight for him until the s6 is over. He can come in at 200 pounds if he wants, there won't be any wxcuses when he'll hit the canvas.

    How absurd. He kept leaning in such a way that would make it almost impossible NOT to hit him on the back of the head. If he knew how to roll a right hand properly by tucking his chin and spinning to his left it wouldn't have happened. It is also evident that he can't deal with making 168 - he should have moved up to 175 long ago.

    No, it'll be hard to make excuses when that Bute uppercut hits Green in the midsection and sends his intestines up into his throat.

    Well... he'll probably claim it was a low blow.
    Or that a dog ate his homework.

    Johnson hit Green with two of those chopping overhand rights. The first one may have been a little past the legal limit. It looked like it landed just below and behind the ear; more or less on the neck. The second one looked like target practice; a perfect shot to the side of the face.

    Well, but certainly, one has to take into account how the fighters are positioned as the punch is thrown?
    Otherwise, you could in principle throw a straight punch at an opponent facing you squarely, and be penalized if that fighter turns around 180 degrees and you hit him in the back of the neck.
    I can't imagine that Green has a case here.

    It isn't always, but it is in his case.

    I've also seen it spelled "Glengoffe".

    In fact, half of the time it's spelled with a "c" and the other half with a "g", so it's hard to tell which is right and which is the mistake.

    Does anybody know which is correct?

    Wiki has "Glengoffe", so has BoxRec.

    ...

    Boxrec is one of the places that spells it with a "g". So is Wikipedia. Neither of those sources is infallible, and it's quite plausible that both might have taken their information from a common mistaken original source.

    I do lean towards it being "g" just based on consensus between those references combined with the majority opinion of people on forums who claim to know what they're talking about. You still see him in print as "Glencoffe Johnson" quite often, though - enough to make you wonder.
