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...
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..
