Green v Briggs. Expected fireworks didn't get a spark

[Snakey]

After expecting atleast 6 good rounds from these two apparent boxers all that watched was let down after only 29sec in the first round. The jab that floored briggs was little more than a graze of the forehead and he failed to rise before the 10 count. The fight is now under investigation as the fight appeared to be fixed.
Green has come out and refused to pay briggs for the sham.

All this after the fight had to be moved two weeks ago to perth from sydney after N.S.W refused to register Briggs for the fight. Altho the fight was worse than terrible i hope Briggs has no brain damage if his retirement rumours were true.

Briggs dogged it: Green

Im glad they moved it to perth coz otherwise I would of been watching it live in Sydney and I would of been majorly pissed off. I have no fuckin idea what happened to Briggs...that punch barely hit his forehead. Having been a fan of Briggs for quite a few yrs I would like to think he didnt throw the fight and that it was his medical problems that caused last night (even then its still bad). Just was kinda shocked how it went down, disgusting display for boxing if Briggs did throw it.

Just for your info, Paul Briggs retired because of a serious nerve disorder, he tried to make a comeback last year and training was going well but his first sparring session saw him collapse and have a panic attack in the ring the first time he was hit. I worried that when this fight was made that Paul would not have fully recovered, he is obviously broke and thought he might be able to blag it, I don't think there was any fix and I think Paul had never recovered and should never have been in the ring, sometimes the temptation for money can be too strong.

My question to Danny Green is why fight Paul Briggs at all? He must have known about Paul Briggs medical condition, the fight was shifted across the country because someone in NSW knew he wasn't fit to fight. Briggs had not fought for over 3 years FFS, what was Green thinking?

[Salty]

Meh, the exact reason why I went and played laser tag instead of watching this fight. Friends are kicking themselves now that they missed out on a good night for 29 seconds of shit.

Under card was good.
Pitt looked sharp and kickett is looking good.
I should have left before mainevent not that it went very long.

Nerve disorder...are we talking mental or physical? Coz he passed all medicals. I have never heard that story and im surprised if it is such common knowledge why it hasnt turned up in the press in the build up to the fight or after it.

I think Pauls best days are behind him...
I believe the fights with Adamek took the best of him...

Yyep, he would know people have seen him fight and wouldnt swallow that and is obviously pretty bad He shouldnt have been fighting in the first place and after getting refused by one place, whoever let him fight should be sacked!

Green sounded like a priick, grabbing the mike and talking like an asshole after.

I watched a bit more of the video on that link and Green is now calling out Mundine!! A light middle weight that already beat him easy!!

[HattonTheHammer]

whatever disorder he was coming from there is no way in hell something which is no more than a graze that barely hits knocks you out.

Another tarnished moment for this sport, absoloutely horrible to watch

[Dizaster]

Watching that video, it's just something hugely strange...

The only boxer in the universe I can imagine going down from that is Paullie Mallinaggi because it totally missed his face and messed up his hair...

Honestly I would not be concerned with that being evidence the fight was fixed.. Even the sh!ttest moron actor in the world would know to pull off a fixed win, you need to at least take ONE punch to the face...

There is really no explanation for it...

Although I think it was Green I heard on the radio today who was saying now that he's watched it back on video, he can see that there WAS contact and that Briggs was obviously hurt by it....
Obviously post sh!tty-39-second-sham-of-a-fight politics, because he would have known on the night how hard it connected.. He doesn't need a video to tell him how hard he connected.... And sure as sh!t that video doesn't go a millimeter to convince anyone that how he went down was a result of any type of damage from the punch....

Strange strange strange.... I don't claim to be tough, but i'd bet my life that punch wouldn't have put me down and out..

haha the greatest statement of the obvious I've ever heard

[No Contest]

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" I know you love that saying.

[El Kabong]

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'.....

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.
