How does the fight get made? I cant think Briggs passed a medical exam, watching that. If Green really was his friend outside the ring, how did he not know about this? Shame on the matchmaker and commission. For you bilbo, "Another black eye for boxing" :fight: I know you love that saying.
Maybe they've gone for a reverse headfuck, by making it so unbelievable they actually manage to pull off the fix. We're like "If that was a fix, surely they'd make it more believable" and Green is like :cool: haha motherfuckers.Quote:

I've decided I don't like Danny Green. You can put him next to Billy Dib (the other Aussie boxer I hate).
I heard that Green called out Shane Cameron...I hope somebody knocks his ass out soon.
Actually I can't ever recall using that sentence? I usually put things more eloquently like 'this was a fucking fix man', or 'The Ring are a bunch of fucking cunts'.....Quote:

Closest thing to wwe i've seen in a long time. Green was mad, but probably just because after practicing that crap over and over before time, briggs's retarded ass still screwed it up.

Briggs, who lost two memorable WBC light heavyweight title fights to Poland's Tomasz Adamek on majority points decision, yesterday resumed boxing sessions for the first time in two months.
The Sydney-based 32-year-old, who hasn't fought since February, today revealed the ordeal he went through when experiencing worrying symptoms throughout this year.
Briggs said all but one of the symptoms resembled a brain tumor and the emotional turmoil while trying to diagnose his problem had also imposed a lot of stress on his family....
Yeah I had heard that he had this medical issue but thought it must of been just rumour when no medicals found it. Obviously its not as apparently there is some things coming out now that Briggs was showing signs of not being well in training.Quote:

This is just a fucking shame, I have so much respect for briggs. Everything he has done in his life, everything he has over come to get where he is today. FUCK YOU DANNY GREEN!!!! I was hoping for a completely fit Paul Briggs to walk in there and destroy him but that was me being naive. 4 yrs ago Briggs would of taken Danny out in one round, he challenged Green back then but Green didnt have the balls.
Rumours are hitting some aussie boxing forums...apparently info is being leaked from the Briggs camp and they are saying that the signs were there in training. Apparently Briggs had complained of blurred vision :o and was showing extremely low resistance to punches....if this is true thats fucked up!!! I hate Danny Green for dangling 200 000 infront of Paul, he is an absolute cunt!!!
Yep, in rehearsal it went, Paul slips the first jab, the second grazes the top of his head, then Green throws a big left hook that sends Briggs to the canvas.... Unfortunately even with 1000 rehearsals, he forgot about the left hook and went down from the head graze...Quote:

If thats true and Green already knew of Briggs condition AND they were supposed to be friends, it just gives more of a reason to have disdain for Green.
I've already posted a few posts up what's wrong with Briggs. There's a link with the full story. He has a nervous system and adrenal system problem that hasn't been treated. He collapsed in sparring and he's also collapsed numerous times outside of the gym. He shouldn't have been anywhere near the ring. The condition gives him major balance problems. It's a terrible thing to cope with, and Green is a grade A twat for his post fight comments.Quote:

Yeah, if that bit of connection to the top of his head caused him so much discomfort, you would HAVE to assume that the signs were there in sparring, and someone should not have let him in the ring... Sure in the doctors room, he was given a clean bill of health. But did the doctor actually throw a jab at him or anything? Clearly he was not ready to have any physical pressure to be put onto his body, and just that one punch took everything out of him to the point he couldn't stand...Quote:

Green would have HAD to know that Briggs was not in top shape, and he played a part in choosing an opponent which would be an easy fight for him... So it does make him quite twattish to flip out at him after the fight when clearly he made the decision to get in with him knowing he was not 100% up for it...
Real shame.. Boxing in Australia only gets that many eyes on it 4 or 5 times a year... And the 2 biggest times with Green vs Briggs, and Green vs Jones have ended in very disappointing circumstances...... It's a really tough sell for getting kids here into the sport...
I think most of our local hero's into the future will be imported from other countries and adopted as our own..
This is doing the circuit on the internet:
"SO SEVERE were Paul Briggs's neurological problems in the weeks leading up to his fight against Danny Green that he was forgetting at which gymnasium he was training and mistaking strangers' cars for his own. His conditioning was so poor that he took one body shot in sparring and vomited.
Briggs's woeful 29-second performance on Wednesday night was not of a man taking a dive, but one who was so desperate for his $200,000 purse he was willing to risk his life in the ring. Briggs, his people, and much of boxing's circle knew the reality of the situation. This was going to be a farce."
Sad, but true. Briggs was overweight and in poor condition. It is a shame that Paul Briggs will now be remembered for this fight and not his two epic encounters with Thomas Adamek, he lost two close decisions that if they had of gone his way, very few would have argued. What was Green thinking in fighting a guy with known medical issues, inactive for over 3 years and in no shape to compete at the highest level? Danny Green and his people need to have a good look at themselves and fight a genuine top 10 fighter next up. Calling out Mundine who is old, washed up and fighting at 154lb is no way to regain lost credibility.Quote:
