Green can't be blamed if this moron took a dive. He's still the same great fighter and he shouldn't be getting discredited by anyone for something he had nothing to do with and NO control over!


But if he had nothing to do with it why was he on tv saying it was a legitimate KO? Maybe I missed something but it looked about as legitimate to me as did Cassius Clay's so-called wins over Liston.

I only saw on boxrec that Green won by KO in the first round. I watched the fight on Youtube yesterday and yes it looked fixed.

I doubt Green would fix a fight that he was easily going to win. There was a lot of money bet on Green winning by KO in the 1st round, I doubt Green had any idea and probably thought he hurt him with something previously and the guy quit. You see guys quit often when they're over-matched. We shouldn't be accusing Green of committing such a serious crime without any evidence he was involved of the alleged fix!

JReb, Briggs went toe to toe twice with Tomasz Adamek. As good as Green is he's not on Adamek's level and Briggs is a very tough fighter.

Briggs looked in woeful shape. He had at least 15 pounds on his frame that could have been lost if he wasn't so fat when he hit training camp. It was either a tank job or he entered the fight with some injury or medical problem. I would favor the latter as he was too much of a warrior to go out that badly. Edited by: white is right

I missed the fight unfortunately. Parody posted the link this morning but after going to the gym I had quite a few things to do. From the scorecards it looks as if Danny won fairly easily. No wonder BJ Flores backed out of the fight with Adamek.

Three time world champion Danny Green could be forced to retire â€" but
is happy to be alive after being "horrifically misdiagnosed"Â￾ by a West
Australian doctor. Green is in Perth's St John of God hospital after
undergoing emergency surgery to remove an abscess "the size of a
softball,"Â￾ which had gone undetected in his stomach for seven years.
"Could it all be over? Yeah, definitely,"Â￾ Green conceded. "What's
happened to me, it's all pretty crazy and no one is sure what recovery
I'll make. But I'm just relieved to be here, to know that I can still
play a role in my kids' lives. What if I had been in the Sydney to
Hobart yacht race as planned? Or out in the bush? If a few things had
gone differently over the past couple of days "¦ yeah, right now I could
be brown bread."Â￾ Green was impressive in defending the IBO cruiserweight
title against B.J Flores in a recent defense of the crown winning a
clear twelve round decision. Green is a former WBA light heavyweight
champion and a former WBC super middleweight interim champion.
