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.
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.

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.
