Glen Johnson is going to be hard for Allan Green to beat
October 31st, 2010
By Jason Kim: In the recent episode of Fight Camp 360, Allan Green (29-2, 20 KO’s) revealed that Glen Johnson (50-14-2, 34 KO’s) mostly got the better of him when they sparred in the past for Johnson’s fight with Roy Jones Jr.
However, he’s having no problem cutting weight to make the 168 pound limit, according to the latest boxing news. Dan Rafael is ESPN is reporting that Johnson is already close to the 168 pound limit, weighing 169 pounds with a week to go before his fight with Green at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Johnson being weight drained may be Green’s only real chance in this fight, because he doesn’t have the work rate needed to beat Johnson in a 12 round fight.
Green doesn’t throw enough punches to match Johnson’s high work rate, and he’s going to have to try and knock him out to get the win. Johnson doesn’t get knocked out, so Green has a big problem on his hands in this fight. He’s going to have to be a lot busier than he’s been in any fight he’s had during his career to beat a guy like Johnson.
It’s possible, but not very likely. The winner of this fight will move into the Super Six tournament semifinals to fight one of the semifinalists such as Carl Froch, Arthur Abraham or Andre Ward.
Johnson is a replacement for Mikkel Kessler, who pulled out of the tournament recently after sustaining an eye injury. For his part, Green is a replacement for Jermain Taylor, another fighter that had to pull out of the Super Six tournament due to suffering an injury.
Green looked dreadful in losing his first Super Six tournament fight to Andre Ward last June, losing every round of the fight to Ward. Johnson has lost two out of his last three fights to Chad Dawson and Tavoris Cloud.
However, Johnson looked a lot better in losing those fights compared to how bad Green did in his loss to Ward. There’s no comparison, really. Green looked worse than awful. He was badly overmatched and put in a bad performance.

Anonymous you got it wrong. your the brainless no brainer. im goin be the after taste in your mouth.
It would be nice to schedule the AA vs AW in Los Angeles, its only a 5 hour drive or 45 min flight from Oakland.
Johnson beats Green in this one .
Does anyone know why Ward won’t fight outside of Oakland???
and DIrrel sux balls he ruined the tournament by first acting vs AA than faking an injury with the over rated AW.
And as for the Froch vs Abraham fight look for Froch to end up in the hospital cuz he’s gonna get KTFO by Abrahammer. Froch might even get a divorce from the wifey cuz his face aint gonna be the same after this fight.
Green is gunna loose to the old man
thats a no brainer.
For me, Johnson has been carrying around a pot belly for the last 5 years, dude is better for coming down to 168 and will be a meaner fighter for it. I love this guy, he’s a machine, he doesn’t stop. I say he beet Dawson in their fight and I’m hoping he beats some sense back into that stoner, Green who has no place in the boxing ring after that shameful display of lacklustre cowardice against, the hugely over-rated, SOG Ward. As Johnson said in 24/7, imagine a guy like him coming in like this and winning, it’s almost a Rocky story.
LISTEN TO LOBO. HE KNOWS HIS STUFF.
WHERES THE FIGHT /I WANT SOME OF THE FREE TICKETS THEY WILL BE GIVING AWAY.
GREEN WAS SO BAD IN HIS WARD FIGHT HE WILL BE ALONE IN HIS CORNOR.
Dude..I’d rather watch GLEE, than to watch this lame azz fight.
Anyone would be hard for green to beat This super six really was ruined by the two american fighters both who are a discreace to the sport
