DANNY GREEN VERSUS PAUL BRIGGS

[Phantom Gossiper]

This is a joke.

That punch was a joke.

Boxing is a joke.

Muay Thai has now passed boxing as the biggest Martial Art in Australia.

Not a boxing fan,after seeing highlight on news,bookies would have to be shelling out big money,either that or Paul Briggs was watching how players dive at World Cup.

That is one of the most disgusting and weakest things i have ever seen!!

If he is going to take a dive he could have at least waited a couple rounds or copped a few hits!!

Seems bit fishy to me, maybe Briggs is in serious debt thats why he came out of retirement for a world title bout? Guaranteed to pick up some decent coin for the fight. Interesting to see if anything comes of this.

Didn't Briggs lose a lot of money from that Firepower scammer who also ripped off a number of AFL/NBL players & coaches and forced the Sydney Kings to fold? The guy (Johnston?) bolted to Bali or something but I think is now in a WA prison but I remember Briggs saying at the time he wanted to hunt the guy down and with his underworld connections would eventually get him.

Supposedly Green said after the fight that Briggs wouldn't be paid for that performance, I'd suggest that might not concern Briggs too much.

Now Green says Briggs didn't take a dive and that punch legitimately hurt Briggs.

He also now says Briggs will be paid in full believed to be close to $250K.

I think 'disgrace' fits nicely here.

[Westsider]

By law Green has to pay him.

Also scans show Briggs was concussed. However with the condition Brigg's brain is in, a ping pong ball would have knocked him out.

The farce is that he should never have taken then fight!

If any good comes out of this it'll be...

* Danny Green finally being exposed for the charlatan he is.

* Bona fide champs and challengers like Vic Darchinyan, Michael Katsidis and Billy Dib getting more exposure and wider support.

Not holding my breath on either happening...

Why doesn't Green take his IBO belt and try to unify the cruiserweight division. Try and grab one of the bigger more highly rated belts like the WBC, WBA, IBF and even the WBO would be more prestigous.
