Danny "Mundine"

[Upgrayedd]

Green V Lesnar? Lesnar would be commiting homicide...

The UFC to waste about 1 month prep fighting against some hobo when he could be making millions more in another UFC bout? Come on Green be serious

 

[hawks realist]

Green is only saying that shit about Lesnar cos he knows it will never happen,absolutely losing my respect fast.

Mundine the sequel

 

[Magnum]

Danny also said, "only if the fight was on the feet".. in other words its not happening. But Danny knows Lesnars standup is garbage, so he'd easily win if it was just a boxing match. This is just BS hype and will obviously amount to nothing.

 

[HeavyPop]

LOL Danny Green is a fool.

Anywhere going to stream this?

 

[RobbyRoy]

Haha I'd pay good money to watch that.

Note: By good money I mean $5-10

There's a related article linked on there about Vic Darchinyan wanting to go to the UFC aswell.

"I would like to fight in the UFC, definitely," Darchinyan said. "Prove there's more power to me that just what's in my hands. My father was a wrestling coach and I've grown up with that. I'd just have to learn a few kicks. I think three or four fights would be perfect."

Gonna need to learn a bit more than a few kicks there though champ.....

LOL Danny Green is a fool.

Fight is done apparently. Briggs fell down after getting a tap and they called it off. Paul took a pay cheque and ran?

 

[YOTC]

Wrist to the top of the head 20 seconds in. That was enough for Paul.

 

[GOEAGLES 08]

what a cheating fat ****er! grazed his the top of his head and dives. i reall hope we doesnt get any money like green said after!

 

[the_interloper]

Link to vid anyone pls? I've been looking around and can't find it!

 

[Arecsa]

Caught the "fight" on FSN just then. LOL! I feel bad for anyone who paid to watch that or go to it - I'd be demanding a refund straight from the pocket of Paul Briggs.

 

[GOEAGLES 08]

briggs shouldnt even commentate again, people will want his head gone!

 

[TheStinger]

I just saw the "fight" and O...M....G...that was such a dive. I could have taken that tap on the forehead. And wasn't Danny fired up afterwards. We will hear more about this for a few days.

 

[who gives a]

yep just got a text from my mate ( hes the sergent in charge of security at the fight ) and he tells me the crowd were furious at briggs throwing beer and other things at him as he left the ring

 

[Glenno23]

Just caught the end of the segment on FSN and saw the beer flying

I reckon anyone who bought the fight/ paid tickets to it was a bit of a fool

It was never gonna go more than 2 rounds, even if Briggs didn't dive. Can't wait to see the replay of the full "fight" at 10:00pm

I was upset when i purchased the Jones Jr/ Green fight and it didn't last a round

 

[r dub 19]

Lulz just saw it

 

[r dub 19]

Yeah danny

The fight was switched from Sydney to Perth at late notice after the NSW Sports Combat Authority refused to sanction the bout due to health concerns surrounding Briggs.

 

[Spudregus_87]

Can't blame Briggs, I'd probably take a dive if I had to fight Danny Green too.

Horrible effort from an elite sportsman.

Here's footage of the incident.

'Briggs KO'd in 30 seconds'

WA boxer Danny Green has again held onto his treasured IBO cruiserweight title after one of the most farcical nights in Australian boxing history.

His challenger Paul Briggs went down like a sack of potatoes after just 29 seconds when Green grazed the top of his head with a left jab at Challenge Stadium.

Briggs shamefully collapsed, and stayed down, much to the sheer chagrin of Green and the crowd.

34-year-old Briggs had to be helped from the ring and was quickly ushered out with a police escort as fans threw an assortment of beverages at the Gold Coast fighter.

The fans were disgusted and so was Green.

"Chill out," Green told the near-capacity stadium afterwards. "No one is as pissed off as me, believe me.

"He ain't even a canine," Green said of Briggs. "Paul Briggs (isn't) getting paid a cent.

"That's criminal what he just did.

"I apologise to you for his behalf. I can’t say anymore.

"I'm feeling very, very angry. I'm a class above the guy you saw just then.

"I'm extremely frustrated."

Green promised to make it up to his fans with another fight.

"I can't say sorry enough to you guys," he said.

"I will make it up to you on that canine's behalf.

'He ain’t getting paid.

"Thank you Perth, I’m sorry."

New Zealand heavyweight Shane Cameron then stepped into the ring to give Green a fight, but the Green Machine politely declined because of the state he was in.

So much for the fight going ahead in the first place after the NSW Combat Sports Authority refused to sanction the fight in Sydney.

The Authority had concerns about Briggs’ health because he had not fought in three years.

Green, 37, was pumped up and ready to destroy Briggs after the Queenslander weighed in over the agreed limit on Tuesday afternoon.

Briggs weighed in at 87.2kg, more than 3kg over the limit for tonight’s cruiserweight fight. Green on the other hand went into the bout weighing 83.6kg.

The bizarre win was Green’s third successful defence of his IBO cruiserweight belt after claiming the vacant title in August last year against Julio Cesar Dominguez in the United States.

He then took both Roy Jones jnr and Manny Siaca to the cleaners in comprehensive victories.

[SebastianVettel]

never going to buy a green fight ever again unless he fights chad dawson. What an absolute joke greens running out of opponents to come out of retirement.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Piss poor by Briggs, but Green needs to stop fighting such blokes.

Take on a decent fighter for **** sake.
