Green Vs Johnson

[El Kabong]

I think Froch spanks Johnson.

Froch has the handspeed advantage over him and obviously Carl is much younger, but I think Glen is stronger (physically and psychologically), he's got reach over him (74 1/2" to 75" according to boxrec), and I think the pressure Johnson brings to a fight is enough to take him over the top. Glen wouldn't mind fighting Froch in his back yard, it simply doesn't bother the guy, he fights even harder when he's the "away team".

Johnson's fighting style is unnerving to a lot of fighter, he doesn't foul, he isn't dirty, he is just scrappy, he does work that people don't like. Glen throws to the body a lot, he is constantly moving forward no matter what you hit him with, and whether the punch is blocked or you catch him clean he never waivers and he'll come back stronger and harder.....I just see that mentally breaking Froch.

Johnson would no doubt beat Jermain Taylor at any point in their careers, which is very sad for me to state because I always thought JT had "it" he had all the potential in the world but it just never picked up after the Hopkins win, it should have all been down hill for him after that.

Green to protest loss

The team of Allan Green has formally notified the Nevada State Athletic Commission of their intent to file an appeal of referee Robert Byrd’s decision to call a halt to his Super Six bout this past Saturday evening against Glen Johnson at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Johnson was awarded a knockout victory at the close of the eighth round. Green went to the canvas after being on the receiving end of what he and his team feel were rabbit punches. Boxing attorney Josh Dubin has been hired to handle the appeal. Dubin is known for successfully overturning Timothy Bradley’s knockout victory over Nate Campbell to a no contest. The appeal will be filed by the end of the week, and the rules of the NSAC entitle Green to a decision within sixty days of the filing of his petition.


Boxing - Green to protest loss

[No Contest]

Green always has an excuse....it's never his fault he loses. He just doesnt have good stamina or chin, average skills and decent power, thats it.

He whupped Jaidon Codrington but vs Edison Miranda you could tell he wanted to get the hell out of that ring. So he's capable of beating D+/C- fighters but vs solid C fighters he's going to get beat and vs anyone better he's toast...he doesn't have the psyche to be a better fighter, he's mentally weak

Thats harsh Lyle. Not on Green, but on Jaidon and Miranda. I think Jaidon was a solid C level fighter with potential to be much better. And Miranda remains a solid B level guy IMO.

Sorry, didn't mean to be harsh, I just don't think either Jaidon or Edison lived up to their true potentials so I may have lowballed their talent. I was meaning to just make a point on Green. He didn't have trouble if the fighter he was up against lacked a little confidence, but if the guy had some stones and knew his way around the ring then Green was in deep shit which is why after the Miranda fight he avoided anyone with a pulse. By all means Miranda AND Ward should have stopped him. I'm just glad Green never fought Dirrell because that would just be a HORRIBLE match two guys with decent talent and no belief in their talents.

Damn shame Green lacks confidence, he could have been better same as Jaidon.
