Tonight at 10PM EST, Showtime is showing a boxing match between slightly overhyped super-middleweight champ Andre Ward and scrappy underdog/comic-book nerd Allan Green. It's the final stage of the second round of their history-making "Super Six Boxing Classic," which makes it kind of a big deal.
All self-respecting [but still somewhat underachieving] dorks need to support one of their own -- a fighter who has a tattoo of the Asgardian Destroyer on his arm and Kirby's design for Mjollnir on his shoulder. Green can even pronounce "Mjollnir" correctly.
It's sure to be a dramatic fight -- Ward has better speed and skill, and they're fighting in his hometown, but Green has enough power in either fist to end the fight at any moment if he can land one or two of his power punches just right. Also, one of Ward's best punches is the accidental headbutt, and Green's not one to shrug off accidents the second or third time they happen, so it probably will get ugly in there sooner or later. One way or the other, it's sure to be an entertaining match.
