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

[Aussie_Egg]

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.

[THE THIRD MAN]

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.

[CutMeMick]

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!!

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.

Paul Briggs back in action | The Daily Telegraph

WORLD-ranked Australian boxer Paul Briggs is eyeing a world title fight next year after overcoming a traumatic health scare which he thought had ended his career.

Briggs, who lost two memorable WBC light heavyweight title fights to Poland's Tomasz Adamek on majority points decision, yesterday resumed boxing sessions for the first time in two months.

The Sydney-based 32-year-old, who hasn't fought since February, today revealed the ordeal he went through when experiencing worrying symptoms throughout this year.

Briggs said all but one of the symptoms resembled a brain tumor and the emotional turmoil while trying to diagnose his problem had also imposed a lot of stress on his family....

I first thought "This HAS to be fixed" but then I thought:

1. The key to a proper fix is making it look real
2. Why did Green want to fight Briggs so badly when Briggs had been happily retired?
3. Why wouldn't you expect an active boxer to destroy a retired boxer when if these two were in the same ring in their primes you'd still expect Green to KO or stop Briggs?

It doesn't add up

Maybe they've gone for a reverse headfuck, by making it so unbelievable they actually manage to pull off the fix. We're like "If that was a fix, surely they'd make it more believable" and Green is like haha motherfuckers.


Or maybe there is something wrong with Briggs. If there is, i hope he's ok.
