Joe Greene Withdraws From Sergio Martinez Clash

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Undefeated junior middleweight Joe Greene (20-0, 14KOs) has withdrawn from his January 17 clash with Sergio Martinez (44-1-1, 24 KOs), the WBC interim champion. The fight was scheduled to take place as the HBO televised co-feature to Andre Berto-Luis Collazo. Greene was dealing with a bad case of kidney stones. He saw a doctor who advised him to withdraw from fight. [details]

I was looking forward to this fight. I hope a decent replacement comes in, but with only 9 days notice that's probably not going to happen.

Um....you mean Greene.

[Texanballer]

Is it true Daniel Santos might step in?

[2501]

Um....you mean Greene.

They offered Daniel Santos the fight, but because it was only 2 weeks away, they turned it down.

Guess I should read the article . He could have possibly taken it though, he was in training camp. He wouldn't have time to study Martinez though.

edit: Isn't Thompson the guy who got horribly robbed on FNF a couple of months ago? Was it a NC because of it.
