Predictions: Allan Green vs Glen Johnson

I am not impressed with Green in the slightest. And I don't think Johnson will have to do much to nullify what Green has.

In his previous camp for the Ward fight, Green did not do the things that his trainer JD Jackson wanted him to. All he did in the Ward fight was go into survival mode to prevent being ko'd.

If Johnson is ok at 168 (first time in 10 years or so) I think he man handles Green and will be just to physical for him. Johnson on points.

 

Glenn is 41 years old (probabily older) and hasn't made this weight for 10 years, that's big! I think this will have a significant effect on him because his game relies on his strength, pressuring and ability to impose himself and back you up. Green would be destroyed by Glenn Johnson under different circumstances, but i think Glenn will be weak physically and Green will come away with a decision. I hope Johnson wins though.

 

I was leaning towards Johnson but I'd completely forgotten about the weight issue, that a very big deal.

 

Tough one but i still think Johnson takes it he is savvy enough and Green isnt all htat good

 

Yeah, Gaz. I think it's massive. What makes it worse is, he probabily has very little fat to come off him, which means he'll be losing muscle to cut those 7lbs.

 

I'll be back after the weigh-in to make a prediction :hey

 

Green by close points decision

 

I don't rate Green at all, but I'm expecting him to win a fairly comfortable points decision.

If being old wasn't a significant enough factor, dropping those extra pounds will be hell for Glen. I just can't see him pulling it off.

 

Making the weight again won't be easy for Allan Green either. I think it's a close one because Johnson's clearly past it but Green's not that good anyway. I reckon it'll be a tight decision but Glen Johnson will get the nod.

 

trying to shift those 7lbs has got to the hell for a man of Johnsons age.

 

Green will squeak by him on points because johnson wont be right at 168, especially at 41 and that green is mediocre anyway, it will be a stinker

 

Johnson was apparently at 171lbs last week, so he should make the weight. Although, obviously that doesn't detract from him being affected by the sudden drop in weight at his age.

I'm still picking Johnson to win though.

 

You wonder how Johnson weighs so much. There's barely anything on him.

 

I really wonna go with my heart and pick Johnson, but you wonder is he going into camp just to find a way of making weight? I remember him saying he was struggling to make 168lbs years ago, I think back when the Calzaghe fight was muted.
