King
\nGreen<\/a> learned a humbling lesson after issuing an open challenge
\nto boxers.<\/p>\n

Green recently made headlines by picking apart professional boxer
\nBang Williams in boxing sparring. Williams trains under former
\nfour-division world champion Adrien Broner, who was also in
\nattendance as the veteran UFC fighter trash-talked and repeatedly
\nstung his pupil.<\/p>\n

\u2018I learned today what real boxing is\u2019: King Green humbled by
\nWBO interim champ<\/h2>\n

Green subsequently issued an open challenge to all professional
\nboxers. The
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> lightweight soon met his match
\nin WBO interim super lightweight champion Arnold Barboza Jr., who
\npieced up Green, albeit they ended without any bad blood.<\/p>\n

Green then admitted that Barboza showed him what real boxing looks
\nlike. While Green went in expecting a slugfest, Barboza kept a
\nsolid guard and displayed slick footwork to pick him apart.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thinking we\u2019re going to do this certain dance,\u201d Green said on
\nhis Instagram Stories. \u201cAnd it doesn\u2019t exactly turn out the way I
\nthought it would. I learned today what real boxing is. In my head,
\nI thought we\u2019d be all guns. But Arnold came out with peekaboo,
\ntight stuff. So, he is not open to no attacks\u2026 He showed me real
\nboxing where he came in, gave me no way to work. He would open up,
\npop, pop, pop, close back up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Riding a four-fight winning streak with three finishes in the UFC,
\nGreen (36-17) is coming off a first-round buzzer-beater stoppage
\nwin over Terrance
\nMcKinney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

King Green<\/a>
\nsays he learned what \u201creal boxing\u201d is today after sparring Arnold
\nBarboza Jr<\/p>\n

\u201cIt didn\u2019t exactly turn out the way I thought it was\u2026 Very
\ninteresting lesson I learned.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/oEVA6OiiiR<\/a><\/p>\n
