Allen Green? Should he fight Bika? Or go down to middle?

In my view Bika would drown Green's style and take his power shots with his very good chin. He would make him get into a brawl and would end up either stopping him (most likely) or losing a narrow decision (not so likely). But if Green beats Bika, we must have underrated him because I have Bika in my Top 10, and Green, around 15 somewhere...

 

right now this is the fight that makes the most sense for both of them. Green is another american hype job, and Bika just won the contender so the american networks have their eye on him.

Bika by KO

 

Sounds like a terrific match-up and I favor Green only if he stays disciplined and boxes. I'm willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt in regards to how his condition was affecting him. As far as him going to middle, he should only do it if he can make the weight comfortably. If he has to struggle and limits the amount of food he intakes then he should definitely stay away. Proper fitness and diet are more important I think than squeezing in to a lower weight class.

 

Yeah, I know...I use boxrec all the time to learn about new names/new fights...

I am not sure how good they are, but it's my view at the moment...:good

 

Wherever Green and his weak chin go, a knockout of him will not be far behind. I don't get the hype over this guy.

 

I think Green definately has the power to hurt and maybe stop Bika. He is also more skilled then the Contender Champion.

On the other hand Bika has fought much better opposition.

It would definately be an interesting fight.

I heard Green-Ward is a possibility for early next year.

 

Green should stay as far away from 160 as possible. He carries his left almost exactly where Taylor does and does not have nearly as good of chin. Green could not eat the right hand nearly as well as Taylor. He would be easy pickin's for Pavlik in a complete blow out. On the other hand with Joe C. moving up, Kessler coming off his loss to Joe, Bika winning The Contender, Taylor moving up after back to back losses to Pavlik, Soliman wanting to get back into the mix, Manfredo vs Lacy Coming up on 12/8/07, Miranda doing well, Zuniga rated 13 gave Kelly Pavlik his toughest fight to date, and so on and so on, Green could place himself right in the middle of a period of real excitement at 168. If he beat Bika, or the winner of Manfredo/Lacy, one would have to think he was close to a shot at a major title. He can beat Bika, but Zuniga would beat him up something awful. Taylor out boxes him and wins a one sided ud. Green may have a good career as a gate keeper, but he'll never be an elite level fighter.

Boo

 

good ratings. :good

 

Allan Green should fight Sakio Bika at SMW and go for broke, not like against Miranda, make Bika turn-around to change the diaper like a baby:

Bika might not that hard but he is awkward and tough and dirty as hell - I don't think Green would drop Bika...he would have to outpoint him to win, I think.

 

Rematch Emmett Linton. Turd.

 

I'd love to see Bute v. Green. It would be a good boxing match and the stoppage would make Bute look even better.
