BULL ****!!!!! NOT EVEN GREG LOUGANIS WOULD HAVE TAKEN SUCH A DIVE LIKE BRIGGS DID!!! I seen the reply & couple of times(regular & slow mode) & that was not a SHOT TO KNOCK ANYONE OUT!!!!NO ONE GET'S KNOCKED OUT FROM A JAB ON THE FOREHEAD!!!! I don't care how fragile the person's jaw or head is & even if it was on the temple(which looks more on the forehead) IT DID NOT HAVE THE FORCE TO DO THAT TYPE OF DAMAGE!! Definitely Briggs TOOK A SERIOUS DIVE!!!

Loaded Gloves & Loaded Wraps??

Yes they should take a look at Greens handwraps as well as his
gloves that look like "Grant" gloves with a "Green Machine" label
over them? I read on a post that "Grant Boxing" has threatened
to sue them for tampering with there gloves, Roy Jones' claims
might not be so crazy after all.....

wow! he got hit on the top of the forehead & its shocking he went down...from what i heard he wasnt allowed to fight in sydney because of failed neuro tests.he couldnt get a licence in sydney so why did perth allow it?then again joe mesi couldnt get a licence in many states while in others he could.owen beck failed eye exams & was refused a licence in a few states but somehow got one to fight tony thompson...its all about $$$$.does green have margaritoitis or was it a fix? rjj may not have been lying...who knows...wait & see i guess

I don't think he took a dive. If it was rigged, I think him and the syndicate behind him would have planned it so he went down on a slightly better punch than that.

If not, then wow, that's plain ****** to have used that punch for it.

Just watching that again, does anyone think that the jab to the body just before that hurt Briggs a bit? He seemed to cover up a bit after it.

Not saying it could hurt that much but it may be a case that he felt it enough not to fancy the night he was in store for

I seen the same thing. as soon as the body shot lands, he covers up, looked like he was hurt by that body shot.

This is what two betting agencies said:

"The volume of bets, at the height of it all, they were coming in every 30 seconds. We probably held more individual wagers on a round one knockout in this fight than we have in combined fights in this country in the last 20 years." - Neil Evans, Centrebet

"Ordinarily there's not much interest in the round betting to be honest, so to get a heap of phone calls in the space of literally 10 minutes was peculiar." - Haydn Lane, Sportsbet

Can't you see it was fixed? Once the opening bell sounded Briggs had fulfilled all of his contractual obligations. He could either fight his heart out or take a dive and either way he still gets paid. He took a dive, and it just so happens an unprecedented plunge on betting occurred earlier that day on a 1st round knock-out win for Green. This is Briggs, who was a Gold Coast standover man, drug addict and self-confessed low life for years. Get with it people. It's not the ****ing wraps. The ****ing fight was fixed and Briggs took a dive.

I wanna say it was rigged but you never know...Sometimes your body can get ****** so much before anything rattles you..Maybe his failed test mean he cant handle punches at all of any magnitude. Id like to know what the doctor says..

Tough call, looks like "FLOP GATE" to me, but everyone is DUE A FAIR TRIAL when being accused, (u would think).. Lol
