Think about that: one fight against Ward in Oakland and then a knockout win over Johnson. How is that lucky? I wanted Bika to fight Green for entry into the tournament, but Bika backed out. Not Green. And at the time, after that, there was no better replacement than Green.
How is that lucky?
He is utter shite that's why, he woul of made the best part of $500k because his promoter was Lou Di Bella, he is one lucky son of a bitch, I give him much better chance against Johnson than Kessler put it that way, Johnson is a tough tough man but is an old man and has not fought at 168 in so many years,
I don't think for one minute Green will knock him out because he is crap he wouldnt knock half the decent fighters at 168, but I would deffo rather fight Johnson than Kessler.
So, what are you arguing about then? If he doesn't knock him out, he doesn't advance. He could even beat Glen Johnson, which would be a good win, and then not advance.
I don't give him a better chance against Johnson than Kessler. Well, winning the fight, yes I agree with you. But, he must get a KO to advance. And there is no way he's KO'ing Johnson. No way. Kessler getting knocked out is more likely.
You are not acknowleding that he entered the tournament at a disadvantage. The odds were against him anyway. Everyone else had three matches to advance, he had two. So, if you thought he was horrible you didn't have to worry because he probably wasn't making out of the first round regardless.
Bottom line, you like Dirrell's DQ W over Abraham more than a KO over Johnson. We can agree to disagree.
