    That's what you get when you fight a guy who hasn't fought in 3 years.

    also Briggs is well under the cruiserweight limit so why wouldn't Green put his belt on the line?

    Certainly an interesting development.

    A few questions arise:

    1/ How fit or otherwise is Briggs? Probably otherwise!

    2/ Why there was an agreed weight below the limit in the first place when it's meant to be for the cruiserweight title FFS?

    3/ Okay, the agreed limit is probably written into the fight contract, but what if Briggs get's lucky and wins?

    Was funny to watch the weigh in.

    Briggs looked in reasonable shape but i expect Danny to dominate tomorrow night.

    Shane Cameron looked insanely ripped at 93.7...Barry, Ken, Shane & the team all think he can make 90 comfortably.

    How slow is Briggsy gonna be at 87.2 kg?

    Last start, admitedly 3 years ago he was 175 lb (79.5 kgs).


    He'll be going in 17 lbs heavier than 3 years ago FFS!

    ...maybe NSW got this one correct afterall.

    Is the belt still on the line or what?

    Regardless, **** catch weights.
    We already have 987 weight divisions, why muddy the waters even further with this crap?

    I dunno. I'm just commenting, but he's had a half dozen fights at cruiser.
    He's only about 3kgs over what he fought Sauvine, Petridis, Rowsell at.
    That was 8-9 years ago. :huh


    Watch betting.

    :good Danny should invent his own weight division...then he could call himself undisputed champ....cruiserweight is cruiserweight, he should defend his title
