The more I think about this, Paul is awesome for drawing the line in the sand and saying "Hey...**** ya, 'champ'!" :good
I'm sure there was at least half a smurk on Briggsy's face as he turned his back to stand on the scales. His team obviously knew exactly where his weight was, and Briggsy obviously knew full well how the scales reading was gonna go down with Green. Team Briggs have obviously got there noses in front so far in the bluff and bluster stakes - and as much as Green was trying to say he wasn't angry about it, he was absolutely pissed!
haha i love it!! come on Briggsy... thats one ballsy move considering someone is offering you a payday, but i love the attitude you want to fight me at cruiserweight fight me at cruiserweight!
Good on Briggs I say. Its a cruiserweight title fight, the limit is 200lb or 90.2kgs. Briggs weighed in under that limit. As someone mentioned earlier, its unproffesional to stipulate a title fight 6kgs under the limit. GO HURRICANE!!
http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/ot...riggs-over-limit/story-fn4pw13c-1225894715325 Great quoute in that: "The cruiserweight maximum is 90.7kg, but boxers in this division generally agree to fight at a weight under this limit." Wait wut?
This is the sort of **** in mouth nut huggery bs that runs ripe in Perth for their love of Danny Green (and all other hoem town heroes...Ben Cousine in the 90's, WCE and the like...) , most of them wouldn't even know that he is holding a bs belt, they just eat up "the world champ" rubbish. I hope Briggs knocks his ****ing head off. I dislike him on par with Mundine. Both jokes who wasted their primes, who now suck money off ignorant clowns who don't know any better.
Good ploy by Paul no doubt about that but i just wonder how much help that extra 3.2 kg will give him when Paul's head hits the canvas around rd 6?
Do you think Green will have to eat more than 3.2 kg of crow if handpicking Briggs and trashtalking him, threatening to "punish" him for bucking his ridiculous weight stipulations, all backfires in his face? I wager he might need to eat a full 90.7 kg of crow, myself. :think
