I was trying to think of some staring at his feet joke but I've got a paper to write and just don't have the time.
Wow, so the guy who got caught with crack has no problem showing up, but the supposed health nut can't make it?
LOL!! I was trying to come up with one too, especially since No Contest had the "shot himself in the foot" comment. ;DQuote:

Ah, I guess that's enough. Hopefully Allan will keep his head up.
Needs to watch his step lol !! I think he does that too much in the ring already. This news sucks cause i was just really starting to like green. I know we all hate it.....but i always think it's better for a guy to pull out for whatever reason than fight loose and make a bunch of excuses. But still shame on you allanQuote:

Super middleweight contender Allan Green will not be facing Antwun Echols on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights at the Paragon Casino and Resort in Marksville, Louisiana. Echols will now take on unbeaten Michael "Midnight Stalker" Walker (18-0-1, 12 KOs) after Green suddenly became unavailable. "Green hasn't returned our calls since Monday and missed his plane yesterday," Holden Promotions executive Bobby Dobbs told Fightnews.com. Green was located by Fightnews.com today at the Palm Beach Boxing Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. His only comment: "I'm not in a position to talk about it now." Echols-Walker will part of an attractive double main event card that also features IBF #1 junior middleweight contender Sechew “Iron Horse” Powell (22-1) in action against Kevin Finley.

Well, I'm just glad they got a replacement, good on Walker for stepping in.
ESPN has shown a lot of support for Green. If he is pissed at his management he should have taken care of it after the fight. You should not turn your nose at the people who pay your check.
If it's a problem with his trainer then just get a freaking new one! If it's someone in his entourage then he's a fucking moron!
Green is working hard to burn this bridge isn't he?
He piqued our intrest when he stomped out Jaidon Codrington and that quickly faded when he ran away from Edison Miranda.
Allan Green, you SIR are a punk ;D
Thinking About making the drive And was seriously going to try to ask Green why the f!!! he is looking at his Feet ?? I do believe It all started in the Miranda Fight.Farking foot fetish freak .
His career as a whole seems to be 1 step forward....2 steps back ;D;D
When he helped host FNF's green explained why he always looks down during fights, i hope he has a decent excuse he can't afford this type of stuff when he is trying to move up where he thinks he belongs. Right now he's an espn celebrity but that's about it, wait till you're big time before you avoid calls from your promoter and skip flights the day before them.
I hope he didn't shoot himself in the foot; as then he'll just stare at it more in his next fight:rolleyes:Quote:

He's doing himself no favours. His management need to get a hold of him and make sure he steps into line.Quote:

Well he does have alot of boxing skill, he is one of those guys that doesnt throw enough IMO, it seems like thats a new trrend in boxing nowadays, real conservative fighters not letting the hands go.Quote:

This guy just makes me dislike him more and more everytime I read about him or see him in action...
First he is afraid to actually engage with Miranda..Then the non stop lloking down to check his laces during fights...now this crap....He should be suspended if anything for wasting talent....
LMAO...I think the looking down is him thinking outloud to his feet "What the fuck are you two guys still doing here....RUN BITCHES....RUUUN"Quote:

Can't say that there's no situation where it's not understandable, at least to me... I also don't see it having anything to do with anticipation of the fight itself or anything, as Echols has looked pretty shopworn and hasn't been fighting much. Green does seem like he's destined to stay at about the level he's fighting at now though.. Not helping himself by doing this.. I hope he doesn't burn his bridge with ESPN, as he is a pretty good fighter to appear regularly on FNF.
What a 'tard...
I mean think of the names of boxers who have co-hosted ESPN's fight nights? Hagler, Mikkel, Bert Sugar, SSM, Toney, Cotto, Jermain etc. etc.
And then he does something like this.... :rolleyes:
Michael "Midnight Stalker" Walker
LOL I don't care for the name.
Sounds like an ass Friday Night Fights.
Least we have Shobox.
Here is more details on that dumb asses punk move.

A damn shame because if ESPN is pissed, no promoter in the world will be able to showcase him on that network again. Green had better hope that ESPN is the forgiving type, or he will have a tall mountain to climb to get media attention again.Quote:

Just my take on the situation but:
Green should have went through with this fight regardless since it was coming up so close to time but I understand why he has done this.
Green has been getting shafted(I am no fan particularly)into just being an ESPN fighter when he has the ability to fight on better programs. Echols is not the right caliber of fighter for Green IMO and he wants better options than what his crappy management is giving him. He is getting much better offers from outside sources and simply trying to further his career before it is too late.
