BoxingScene.com was advised that Allan Green vs. Sakio Bika, scheduled for February 5 on Showtime, has fallen apart. I reported on Thursday that Green-Bika was in serious trouble due to issues on the Bika end. Green-Bika was going to be a Super Six eliminator, with the winner facing WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward on April 17. Now is appears that Green will replace the withdrawing Jermain Taylor by challenging Ward on the April date on Showtime. The main event will have WBC champion Carl Froch defending his title against Mikkel Kessler.

D$$,What's the latest news on Green/Bika? If they can't agree on a fight, how does the Super 6 decided who to pull into Taylor's spot?

I was told this afternoon that Bika-Green is not happening and Green is into the tournament and will face Ward April 17 in place of Taylor.
