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.
    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.
    It's widely known and recognized by everyone. Briggs openly talked about it and his retirement was not contested when he announced it years ago. I for one thought Briggs would make a good comeback. He's more cagey than he is elusive, though. I just don't know how Adamek has made it this far thinking about those two fights they had.

    Green has "true" Glancing power. I'm pretty sure at this rate he is going to set a record for the most 1round stoppages that leave you scratching your head.
