Nice work Beave the odds were insane but you can thank Fenech for telling everyone down here that Cameron was a cert.apparently he had a lot of cash riding on Shane. And i hear there was some massive bets laid by a very wealthy boxing identity Brian amatruda. I hear the bets were in the range of 25k maybe more.
That's why I very rarely bet on a fight before the weigh in. You don't know exactly what you're betting on if you get in early, although sometimes the odds are too juicy to pass up.
Barry Michael, Armatruda's business partner, was in Cameron's corner until recently, and was pushing hard to make Cameron vs Green immediately after the Green vs Briggs farce.
The ref was terrible had no control and IMO was to old to be refing a title fightatsch But in saying that i was loving the fact he just let them wrestle because i was on the decision and it was chewing up valuable seconds so from that perspective i was glad but it looked terrible at times. It turned out to be a great tactic by Danny l because he couldn't move around the ring as well as he would of liked because Shane broke his rib in rd 1. It was a pretty entertaining fight and the crowd was right into it and the kiwis were really vocal so the atmosphere was 10 out of 10. As for what he'll do t i didn't ask him but i hope he retires on a winning note and i think he knows it would be the perfect time to retire but he just can't bring himself to say it yet.
I remember that cracking rip to the ribs early on. Not surprised it did some damage. Surely the time is right for Danny Green to hang them up? He just did not have the snap he's had most of his career last night.
From what i hear Amatruda wanted to have more cash on Cameron but the bookies **** themselves and would only let him get on for 25k at a fixed price. I'm sure Brian wouldn't be to worried 25k is just some pocket change to him:deal
Is it the right time to hang em up? ****ing oath it is spider:deal But at the end of the day he loves the **** and how many boxers do you see going out on there own terms. As for his ribs he broke them in sparring early in his prep so that had an effect on his breathing when he copped that massive blow early so it was a pretty gutsy effort.
