This might be Sweetness Allan Green's coming out party right hear with the fireworks and everything. His inactivity against real competition kinda worries me but if he comes in tip top shape physically and mentally primed and ready, he can win. I expect him to box smart and land his sneaky left hooks over taylor's low right hand. Hoplkins used to talk about this all the time when pointing out Taylor's defensive flaws and Green's left hook is one of the best, if not the best at 168. Taylor is in deep **** here.
The two know each other very well. It will be a good fight. I will be rooting for Green because it is his time but Taylor will make me smile if he wins.
How do they know each other very well? I can't find that they met in the amateurs, but it would make sense given they were in bordering states and are the same age.
After Taylor, Green is coming for Bute if he didn't get his ass beat by Zuniga already. That's even better cuz zuniga is tailor made for Super Allan Green. Wait until he moves up in the ranks and face Kessler.
Green has a good shot but I would have liked to see him take care of business with Miranda first... Maybe if he pulls off the upset he would look for that fight next...
Hum. Bute won't fight Green after Zuniga but the winner of Andrade-Tsypko. After that, I would be surprised if he'd go for Green. I think he will go for a unification fight. We'll see. But first Green has to get rid of Taylor, who chose him because he's a good risk-reward. Taylor wins easily.
I find it very difficult to justify this fight. Somebody please try to tell me, with a straight face, that fighting Allan "I Robbed Emmet Linton at Gun Point and Then He Stole My shoes" Green is more important than taking the WBC title away from Froch. :**** Taylor/Green
