And before anyone gets me the wrong way here, I have no problem with Green dropping out of a Bika fight for Oganov if it guarantees him an alternate slot if somebody gets hurt/has to pull out (which will happen at some point). Smart business move in all honesty.
Agreed his promotional company probably thought the same thing. Oganov would be an easy night work.....as long as Atlas doesn't predict a Green win
that's the part it bother me the most! Yeah for sur Oganov suppose to be an easy fight and Green got less chance to get injured if a place open in the SMM tourney , but honestly i feel like Green think his bigger then he really his! he need to put some decent win on his resume to backin up! If Alien have fought Bika and win it put him in the top 5 in the SMW but a win vs oganov will keep him at the limit of the top 10!
Say what you like about Bika but he's a tough nut to crack. Kessler might be able to keep him at the end of the jab all night but I'd reckon he'd be a tough night for any fighter in the division right now. He deserves to be in anyones top ten at 168.
I agree with everything except the high risk/low reward. Bika is a lower top ten fighter. If you cant beat him stop talking about becoming a champion. Beat him and you will get a title shot, sooner rather than later. That is the big reward. Now for a champ he will be a tough night that wont bring huge money. For them he is high risk/low reward. I just had a look at the ring ratings. How the hell do they have green at 5?? What a joke. The guy has fought NOBODY cept Miranda who is **** and he lost to him. Bull**** ranking.
Green is a all talk and no action. Lucian Bute and Kelly Pavlik fights went to dust as he messed about.. now he pulls out on Bika. Poor Bika, screwed out of another fight / payday.
Although it offers a spot as a 'sub' in the super 6, I think that just shows how much Green talks; Bika would give him a fight. Oganov is just a chump with a padded record.
Remember people, he gets an alternate spot IF HE WINS against Oganov. He'll lose, you heard it here first.
Very simple really. Why risk your place as sub in the super 6 turney. Bika is a high risk to take. Put your self in Greens place. The man got 1 career and a loss would end it
