Green Stops Griffin, Challenges Tarver

[mgkirkpatrick]

danny green put otis griffin down three times in the third round to win by tko.

i didnt know alot about griffin but he won the next great champ series didnt he?

how does this win rate?

[mgkirkpatrick]

wow guess nobody gives a ****. apparently griffin was talking this up as his stepping stone to a shot at tarver.

otis griffin would get eaten up by tarver. not to take anything away from danny green, i thought his fights with markus beyer were good, but otis isn't on that level, he's a decent fighter but he cant hang in there with top guys. danny green is decent as well.

[mgkirkpatrick]

yeah he just looked like a strong awkward fighter from what id seen but a few people were giving him wraps. few solid stoppage wins for green since moving up to lhw.. delisle and murdoch were both coming off title challenges when he knocked them out and now griffin. he might be in line for a shot some time soon.

i could see that happening, green is a strong guy and i dont know if he could be a world champ, but he'd put up one hell of a fight. i'd watch it...

Doesnt rate high, as I feel Griffin is overrated as it is. He was totally forgotten after that show, especially since Contender came along after it and their fighters made more of a splash. If I remember, Griffin lost early on in the show and came back, ala Manfredo did. But the competition on the show was ****. Contender 1 was much better.
Anyway, it's a nice notch on Green's belt, beating a semi reality show 'star'. But as far as impact it was expected. Basically a no win situation for him. Needs to keep moving forward.
