By Scott Gilfoid: After predicting a win for Allan Green in his fight against World Boxing Association (WBA) super middleweight champion Andre Ward this past weekend in their Super Six tournament bout, Carl Froch was less than complimentary about Ward’s performance in the fight. Speaking to Livefight.com, the former WBC super middleweight champion Froch said “First and foremost, as a spectator it was like watching paint dry. I recorded the fight to my TV box and can honestly say I will be recording over it. Ward has skills but they won’t pay the bills. People tune in to be entertained, but that jab and maul style, leaning in constantly with his bony head, holding and hitting was very tedious to watch.”

Green blames defeat to Ward on weight problems
By Jason Kim: Allan Green (29-2, 20 KO’s) brought up his weight as a partial excuse for his one-sided 12 round unanimous decision loss to WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (22-0, 13 KOs) on Saturday night in their Super Six tournament fight in Oakland, California. Green was never in the fight, and was roughed up and pounded by the stronger, quicker, more aggressive Ward. The judges scored every round to Ward, giving him the fight by the scores of 120-108, 120-108 and 120-108.

Ward easily beats Green

The final judges’ scores were 120-108, 120-108, and 120-108, all for Ward.
Goosen hoping Ward can take Mayweather and Pacquiao’s place at the top of boxing

For that to happen, Ward, 26, will have to beat his opponent Allan Green (29-1, 20 KO’s) in their Super Six bout in Oakland, California.
Ward-Green: I’m going with Andre to win this one
Photo credit: Tom Casino/Showtime – By Scott Gilfoid: This is one of those fights that are really hard to pick. We’ve two incredibly talented Americans facing each other with unbeaten Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s) going up against one of the hardest punchers in the super middleweight division in Allan Green (29-1, 20 KO’s). These are probably two of the three best fighters in the Super Six tournament. I like Green a lot and think he’s immensely talented. However, I have to go with Ward, the former 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist, to win this one.
Green says “Ward looked good against Kessler but I’m not Kessler”

It doesn’t matter that Green has never beat a true top tier fighter in his entire eight-year pro career and that’s been incredibly slow in getting up to the top tier level, the man sounds sure that’s going to win tonight.
Weights: Green 166, Ward 167 3/4
Photo credit: Tom Casino/Showtime – By Jason Kim: At today’s weigh-in for the Super Six stage 2 clash between Allan Green (29-1, 20 KO’s) and World Boxing Association super middleweight champion Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s) for Saturday’s fight in Oakland, California, the 30-year-old Green weighed in at skinny looking 166 pounds. Ward, 26, came in at a solid looking 167 3/4. Green looked badly weight drained and dehydrated from the effects of making weight. You have to wonder what he’ll have left by fight time on Saturday night.
Green is going to get that fight he’s been seeking from Ward
By Jason Kim: Allan Green (29-1, 20 KO’s) says he wants to test WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s) and make a fight of it on Saturday night at the Oracle Arena, in Oakland, California. You can bet that the 26-year-old Ward is going to oblige Green and really bring it in their stage 2 Super Six tournament fight. Green has hinted that Ward is a finesse fighter who lacks the same kind of big power that he possesses.
Green has a lot of notes on Ward: Will it matter?
Photo credit: Tom Casino/Showtime – By Dan Amrbose: Allan Green (29-1, 20 KO’s) has a lot of notes on WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s), says Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports News. The notes list the weaknesses and tendencies of Ward, who Green will be fighting this Saturday night at the Oracle Arena, in Oakland, California. However, you have to wonder whether it will even matter how many notes Green has collected on Ward. It’s good that Green has put together some notes on the weaknesses of Ward, but if his own weaknesses, which are many, are even more glaring than Ward, then how is Green going to be able to capitalize and take advantage of Ward’s flaws?
