I hate Danny Green for dangling 200 000 infront of Paul, he is an absolute cunt!!!

Not only that but AFTER the fight Green got on the mic saying that his son has bigger balls then Briggs and he isn't getting paid a cent and he was gonna fight him in the locker room for a fight the fans enjoyed.

If thats true and Green already knew of Briggs condition AND they were supposed to be friends, it just gives more of a reason to have disdain for Green.
I've already posted a few posts up what's wrong with Briggs. There's a link with the full story. He has a nervous system and adrenal system problem that hasn't been treated. He collapsed in sparring and he's also collapsed numerous times outside of the gym. He shouldn't have been anywhere near the ring. The condition gives him major balance problems. It's a terrible thing to cope with, and Green is a grade A twat for his post fight comments.
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..
