By Sean McDaniel: 31-year-old super middleweight contender Allan Green (29-2, 20 KO’s) is 10 years younger than 41-year-old light heavyweight Glen Johnson (50-14-2, 34 KO’s) in their November 6th Super Six tournament fight at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The age might as well be pointless, because Johnson, in his prime years, was [...]

By Jason Kim: Super middleweight contender Allan Green (29-2, 20 KO’s) failed miserably in making a good impression in his first Super Six tournament bout last June against World Boxing Association (WBA) super middleweight champion Andre Ward, losing the fight by a lopsided 12 round decision.

By Jason Kim: The November 6th bout between Super Six tournament contestants Allan Green (29-2, 20 KO’s) and Glen Johnson (50-14-2, 34 KO’s) is a fight with a lot riding on it.

By Dan Ambrose: Super middleweight contender Allan Green (29-2, 20 KO’s) has a lot more at stake than just winning or losing a Super Six tournament fight on November 6th in his fight against 41-year-old Glen Johnson (50-14-2, 34 KO’s), Green could be fighting for his career in that bout.

By Dan Ambrose: The choice of picking 41-year-old light heavyweight Glen Johnson (50-14-2, 34 KO’s) to square off with Allan Green (29-2, 20 KO’s) in the 3rd stage of the Super Six tournament is going to be a bad one, as far as I can tell. Picking a fighter as old and as big as [...]

By Jason Kim: Showtime obviously was desperate to find a replacement for WBC super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler when he pulled out of the Super Six tournament recently rather than stick it out and fight American Allan Green (29-2, 20 KO’s).

By Jason Kim: I figured Allan Green (29-2, 20 KO’s) wouldn’t likely be getting much for his replacement opponent in the Super Six tournament after Mikkel Kessler bowed out of the tourney with an eye problem.
