Ahmed Elbiali vs Allan Green

Glen Johnson once again lives up to his reputation of being willing to fight anyone at any time when he drops down to 168 pounds to fill in for Andre Dirrell in the Super Six World Boxing Classic after Dirrell pulls out due to an undisclosed injury. Johnson faces fellow alternate, friend and former sparring partner Allan Green in what is officially Group Stage 3 of the tournament and hurts him on several occasions, including at the end of the third round in which Green is badly discombobulated. He eventually punches his ticket to the semifinals by dropping Green on his face with a pair of right hands at the beginning of the eighth round. Green wastes time arguing with Referee Robert Byrd about the punch being behind the head and fails to get to his feet before the count of ten.

When Jermain Taylor pulls out of the Super Six World Boxing Classic after being concussed by Arthur Abraham, Allan Green steps up to take his place. His first assignment comes against undefeated WBA Super Middleweight Champion Andre Ward on Ward's home court of Oakland. Ward shows a new wrinkle in his game by fighting inside and mugging Green for twelve one-sided rounds. The judges award Ward a shutout as he advances to the semifinals of the tournament.

Comeback-minded Allan Green's jabs looked good, ahead all the way on points to win a unanimous decision on the Lucian Bute versus Glen Johnson IBF title fight undercard. This was the third loss in a row for the fading former contender Sebastien Demers. Both super middleweight fighters fought this bout for the first time at the light heavyweight 175 pound limit. Since 2005, Allan Green is now 4-2 in professional bouts which have gone ten rounds or longer. Green lost bouts to Edison Miranda (L 10) and Andre Ward (L 12 for the WBA Super Super Middleweight title). His only other loss was to Glen Johnson.
