"I hit Paul with a straight left which we practice probably a thousand times in training. Paul Briggs was hit on the soft part of the skull at the top of the head.”
Green who spent the press conference waving a DVD of the footage around, discussed what he saw on a slow motion replay and seemed to want to protect the image of boxing.
"I have viewed the vision this morning and slowed the footage down to an incredibly slow speed and I’m actually happy I did that, because when you slow it down you can see the blow that lands.
"To the naked eye it seems that he hasn’t been felled, but this actually proves that he has been felled by a legitimate blow to the head and actually a brain-stem injury has occurred where his head has gone that way, he has gone in, I’ve gone bang and he’s legitimately hurt.
"I don’t regret saying what I said, when you’re prepared for twelve rounds of war and you go in there putting your life on the line for the fans and the passionate fans of Australia, when you put your life on the line in the ring, which I do, it’s disappointing and very frustrating
"Looking at the footage now Paul Briggs would have reacted the same way if he was in my shoes."
This is just treating us like fools. Sorry Danny, we are not that stupid and no, that KO was not legitimate.
