WTF is he doing?
If he had problems with weight surely you don't stack on another 20lbs to compensate? He ran out of steam in this fight when he had it under control. He has been ill advised with regards to his weight and poorly handled fitness wise, his last two fights prove that.
He has had chances in both losses and was Knocked out late in both of them. Danny Green is an average pug ( he always looks wooden and slow to me) who has failed in every big fight he has had. ( i don't count a win over a washed up Roy Jones jr) Green needs to retire.
I agree completely. Green blamed his loss to Mundine on weight drain but never said a word about any other fight he had at super middleweight. I think light heavy was a good weight for him. I turned to my dad last night after the 3rd round and saw danny breathing heavy and said "dannys using all of his energy to move and keep krystof at bay....he cant keep this up for 12. Kristof will have his chance to hit him in the later rounds". Surely enough thats what happened. Im pretty happy with the result, hopefully with this knockout loss he will fuck off for good and stop taking the spotlight away from guys lik vic darchynian and katsidis.
