    Are they? It seems like everyone is just writing this guy off. I hope Ward isn't doing the same. Let me remind of what happened the last time a guy got too cocky before fighting Green.

    Green isn't anything special and can be underestimated.

    Green is too inconsistent IMO.

    No. He's an average boxer who hits fairly hard and talks a good fight. If he had less class, he'd be a bigger version of Judah.

    Much like Judah, I have no idea why Green has got this chance. He is a decent fighter but that's where the praise ends.

    He has a puncher's chance but I think Ward outsmarts him to a decision. I'll look at the Miranda-Green fight soon on the meantime.

    This. He has some talent, don't get me wrong, but he has a two cent head to go with it. He's never shown the ability to react well to adversity, and his workrate slows to a crawl whenever he's in there with anyone who he shouldn't completely outclass. He's a good finisher, but that's about it.

    I think Green could very well win if he can keep his eyes off his feet.

    Yep! As soon as he's faced with adversity he melts down and goes into a shell. This is what will happen when he finds out that he can't get Ward outta there early like he wants.

    He can't help it.

    His feet talk to him.

    Dam Codrington was out. Greens got some good experience, plus hes pretty tall at 6'2 His only loss was to Miranda, should be interesting but its nice to see some good boxer punchers mixed in with these brawlers, makes for exciting fights, although his fight with Ward will probably be pretty technical.

    Nope. Green sux. Bika should have been put in there instead of him. Probably same results but Bika would have left it all in the ring trying to get that win. Green is going to just passively lose.

    I really wish Green and Bika could have had a fight and the winner went on to the super 6.

    Codrington was put too sleep nasty! His body looked dead, I hope his family members weren't in attendance when that happened.

    But still, Green isn't as dominating as that vid might lead you to believe. He's good, but IMHO not great.
