thats some ol bull shit
Green thinks he is a WWE heel.
Didn't like the way he reacted TBH, Briggs may genuinly have something wrong with him, acting like that calling him a canine is a bit stupid IMO.
I don't follow Green much so I don't really know about his handwraps. RJJ was stupid not to get anything done about Green's handwraps if they were illegal. But if Green is cheating to beat guys like a 41 year old Jones and Siaca and Briggs coming off 3 years off. Then that's pretty pathetic.
The handwraps issue was concocted by Jones and picked up by Hopkins so they could continue with their rematch after Green KO'd Jones. You obviously fell for the bullshit. The NSW Combat Authority - the same authority who refused to sanction Green-Briggs - investigated Jones' complaint and dismissed it.
Well, Green picked him? Green could have picked another opponent.
Why did he take the dive?
And Briggs should never get another fight.
Green tried to get others including Hopkins , Briggs stood up and said lets do it Green said ok , Briggs obviously was looking at the payday , how was Green to know he was not going to turn up in competitive shape , Briggs took Adamek to the wire twice and Green and Briggs have spared many many times and had wars in the gym , the fight was ok to make as a domestic money spinner if all things were ok .
Very big bets were put on for a first round KO in the last 24 hrs of betting , so much it caused the betting payout to drop from $10 to $1.30 , bets are all withheld pending an official inquiry .
Briggs should not have got this fight because he has mental health issues , well known in the party scene on the Gold Coast for his drug use .
Wow you guys are both stupid and naive, The reason he had such a long layoff and basically retired was because of his health. Briggs was physically unable to fight and he still was. Most of the Australian boxing scene thought he was nuts for coming back, especially in the condition he was in. Actually, he was Ko'd in a similar fashion early in his career. The punch that Danny Green landed was a very stiff jab to the top of the head, it looked like it completely knocked off his equilibrium. The layoff and his health problems prolly contributed to the "KO". Most people should've been able to shrug that blow off rather easily but my hunch is that area of his skull is either underdeveloped or theirs something seriously wrong with him. This fight was only for the $$$ for him, too bad he won't be gettin paid.

Originally this fight was not even sanctioned by the boxing commission in the state they wanted to fight in - they had to move locations just to get approval.
Green hyped this fight up in Australia big time.
I'm embarassed by this - we get little boxing coverage in the media here and to have this represent the sport is just plain crap.
Legitimate fighters like Katsidis are an unknown in Australia.
How can't we blame all of this on Briggs, he did after all clearly take a dive instead of just getting KTFO like he would have anyway.

Boxing now days....is just......I don't even know what to say. We can't blame this all on Briggs. These promoters and fighters hand pick opponents. How can you call yourself a champion when you handpick opponents...no other sport does it but boxing. This is embarrassing.
I agree, but this happens alot. Alot of people dislike Green though, As if fighting Briggs after 3 years off wasnt bad enough. If he has been loading his gloves aswell then that's a bitch move. A "champion" wouldnt do that.

The punch didn't even touch him man, if he's seriously injured he needs to be in a hospital be because that wasn't even as hard as a noogie the glove slightly rubbed the top/back of his head.
On a side note, not tryna bring the whole Roy Jones Jr. argument back up but does that not look like a shitload of tape on Danny Green's handwraps?
It looked like nothing, Maybe Briggs was just pissed at Green making him come in at 185 for a fight where the limit is 200. I hate catchweight bullshit like that, Green's title isnt even a real title but it's still in the Cruiserweight division so you should let the guy come in at the full limit. Maybe Briggs just thought "**** this" and decided to do what he did. But like I said before, He will definetly regret it. Hard to see him getting another good payday after that.

Doc, if you think this has anything to do with handwraps you're a bigger fool than Briggs.
I clearly said the punch was barely even a noogie, I dunno if I'd go as far as to say it even grazed him if anythin it hit glove. I was just sayin it looked like am excessive amount of tape on the wraps, for them to have mattered he wouldve actually had to have landed a punch

Briggs is definetly going to regret that.
WTF was he thinking? I havent heard anything since the fight so I dont know whether he got genuinly hurt or not but the fight was a joke.
I hope this makes Danny Green get serious and fight one of the top Cruiserweights for a real belt. But I highly doubt that he will do that.

I had so much respect for Briggs.
This is not how I wanted to remember him.
I'm gonna watch his Adamek fight and try to forget this BS.
It's not all his fault though.
