Green and Williams both Predict Early
Night! -For Immediate Release
(DEC 30) TULSA, OK -- If pre-fight comments serve as any indication as to
the action that will take place in the ring on January 4th at the Osage
Million Dollar Elm Casino, than the action should be fierce when world rated
super middleweight Allen Green battles former world title challenger Rubin
Williams as both are predicting knockout victories.
"I have had a great training camp," said Williams, 29-2-1, 16 KO's. "I have
been getting some great sparring in the gym with Jonathan Banks (NABO
cruiserwieght champion) and Damon McCrary (undefeated prospect). I feel
great and I am looking towards stopping Allan Green in 8 rounds."
Green, on the other hand, doesn't feel like Williams has the pop needed to
produce any type of knockout. Green, who has had his last 10 opponents on
the canvas, feels that he alone has the devastating power needed to end this
bout early.
"You can't go the distance with marginal guys and than say you're gonna
knock me out," said Green, 25-1, 18 KO's. "I respect Rubin's skills but he
is just not on my level. He has a built up record and doesn't have the pop
to knock anyone out in eight rounds. While I respect him, he is going to go
to sleep on January 4th."
Prior to scheduling the January 4th matchup, both fighters never held back
with their verbal barbs, however things have calmed now and both fighters
are intent on making their arguments in the ring.
"I am true gangsta," said Williams, who hails from Detroit, MI. "I am not
going to talk to much, I am gonna wait until I step in the ring and let my
fists do the talking."
"Alot of stuff has been said in the past," said Green, of Tulsa. "While I
respect him, he is really not that high profile of an opponent for me, so to
waste time trash talking him doesn't really make sense. I am just looking
forward to January 4th."
The two world class super middleweights will be the main attraction on
ESPN2's "Friday Night Fights" series. Former world title challenger Zahir
Raheem, 28-2, 16 KO's, will be in the main support bout against Ricardo
Dominguez, 23-2-2, 15 KO's.
