Comments Thread For: Hopkins-Green in Australia, Darchinyan in Co-Feature?

Wow. Can't you all be happy for us Australian fans getting to see these great fighters visit our shores? Danny Green is hugely underrated. Just because you haven't seen the man much doesn't mean he can't fight.

Bernard will probably win, but not without being taken to the brink.

I'll say it again... Americans are the sorest losers in sport. For all your victories, the smallest defeats generate such bitterness. Truly sad.

People aren't being unreasonable.

Hopkins is supposed to be the man at 175 right now, apparently. If not, he is at least the number 2 guy. Green hasn't beaten anyone relevant at 175 or Cruiser period. As a supposed top guy, Hopkins should not be fighting Green, especially after coming off another fight against a no-name.

And this is coming from an Australian who would love to see them bring this card out here.

I don't think they have that many victories in boxing any more like they used to have, having to acknowledge the rest of the world actually exists can be tough for some americans.

The bitterest pill to swallow: others exist, and they might be better.

I'll say it now: the fearless, square-jawed Green will beat the piss out of Hopkins.

Take the fight B-Hops. Let us see a master-boxer in against Green.

Let us see it in front of 20,000 fans with Vic Darchinyan and Nonito Donaire on the undercard. What an amazing night for Australian boxing fans.

All those RJJ graphics in your messages, and Green hasn't beat anyone relevant.

I was at the fight. The big screens kept flashing the odds and Jones was the unbackable favourite.

He got crushed. It was horrible watching him try to hold on an entire round while Green unloaded. And Roy wasn't fighting back one iota.

Stop dissing the local product.

Danny Green and Vic Darchinyan are back in Australia. The two close friends arrived together at Sydney airport and discussed plans for a possible doubleheader in 2010. If both fighters have their way, they would like to stage the biggest card in the history of Australia. In the main event, Green would defend his IBO cruiserweight title against Bernard Hopkins. The co-feature would be Darchinyan, the WBC/WBA super flyweight champion, defend his title in a rematch with interim-champion Nonito Donaire. [Click Here To Read More]

The moment the bell rings,the ref will rule that Hopkins was not in a position to defend himself and Green will be made winner by KO

I guess you must have started following boxing recently. Green is one of the most overrated fighters from Australia. A prime Harding would out box the **** out of Green.

Green is lucky that he got to make a name for himself of Anthony Mundine.

somebody tell green he is not a great fighter or a draw!!! he got lucky the fight was in his home country and the ref stopped it... roy would beat him in a rematch and hopkins would make him look silly... beating roy dont mean nothing no more.. lol what a idiot..

[Spray_resistant]

Vic will get stretched again as he is too easy to hit and maybe Green can win. Hopkins/Ornelas was way, way more competitive than it should have been for my liking.

Green has unfinished business wit RJJ.

Roy Jones is not relevant as a Cruiserweight.

This is not difficult to understand.

Lets hope Hopkins' plane ends up landing in the right country.
