Now it's the handwraps route - who would have guessed that would get a run? BJ Flores prepares for title fight with Danny Green by Nick Walshaw - The Daily Telegraph - Nov 10th If B J Flores is hiding an ugly secret, it isn't beneath his shirt. "But I'm not Paul Briggs," the chiselled American cruiserweight fires. "In fact, I'm not like anyone Danny Green has ever fought. His usual song and dance routine - it ends with me." Sitting in the Star City gym after a workout, Benjamin Flores looks, sweats and speaks exactly as you'd expect from a California boy now boasting 24 fights without loss. Here's a fighter who reckons the Aussie's management is secretly retouching his body - particularly six pack - in promotional material. The 91kg blaster jetted into Sydney yesterday wearing a black T-shirt plastered with his image above the words And New IBO World Champion ... It's why Flores wants Australian fight fans to take notice. Telling The Daily Telegraph he's not only better than Green but nothing like any of his previous opponents - the most recent of whom, Briggs, was last week fined $75,000 for that knockout declared a sham by boxing officialdom. "The Australian public were cheated that night," Flores continues. "It had nothing to do with Danny but it certainly seems like a lot of Aussies are now against him. "Honestly, before we flew out of Las Vegas I was stopped by nine guys from right here in Sydney and they were all urging me to knock Green out. "Then we arrive today and this guy comes up to me and says, 'Watch out for punches to the back of your head - Green can be a dirty fighter'." So, is he? "Oh, he's a dirty fighter, definitely," Flores continues. "Likes to bully his opponents. But he's losing popularity in his own country. I'm getting 50 emails and Facebook messages each week from you guys urging me to whoop his arse." Flores also reopened debate about the legality of handwraps Green used to ice Roy Jones Jr - revealing he would demand at least two officials be present prior to next Wednesday's bout in Perth. This content is protected "So we'll be asking that members of the IBO and West Australian Boxing Commission are present when he gets his hands wrapped."
I can't believe Roy is still going on with this. How about he looks at his proformance in his last 2 fights and stops blaming the handwraps for his loss when it's very clear to all that his shot and has had his day in the sun.
Prepare to be surprised by Green's speed folks :yep Green's going to make Flores look like Molasses Man with lead feet on Wednesday night. He's gonna punish him for calling him a dirty fighter :yep
The last line about BJ saying that they will insist that members of the IBO oversee the wrapping of Danny's hands is laughable. Dannys gloves were signed off by 2 officals not to mention that they were wrapped while a representitive was in the room prior to the RJJ fight which happens in every single bout.atsch They tried to unsettle Danny b4 the fight by asking him to rewrap his hands and the IBO reps said he didn't have to. When RJJ got ko'd he was looking for some lame arse excuse and this was the best he could come up with to save face. As for BJ he seams to be a cocky ***** [tpical yank] with a big mouth. We'll see how good he is when he has half his face caved in.
Exactly man, these haters are cheering on a typical cocky loudmouthed seppo. Green's gonna **** him up - gonna end his career, change his status from 'prospect' to 'journeyman' :yep
Green better be careful.he got outclassed and embarassed by a cocky ***** with a big mouth once before.
Fellatio Flowers is too purty and Green's too mean for this to last the full 12...Green's gonna knock the purty off the cocky seppo's face, Flowers better have dental insurance cos he ain't gonna be able to pick up his teef off the canvas with gloves on :yep
New interviews with both fighters from last nights show. http://radioringside.podbean.com/ Certainly no confidence issues with either fighter!!
