BJ Flores V Danny Green

via grazing jab to the forehead.

 

The bookies in Australia must know something we dont

Betezy were giving odds of $7.50 for a Flores win.

 

Either way someones going down, and out!

I want Flores, but he's green, no pun intended.

Well see. Should be a great action fight, heard ESPN might be picking it up!:good

 

No one is too sure to be honest.
I guess we will see come weigh in.

 

Green should be facing fraud charges for the last 3 years of his career

 

Greens last 3 opponents have had there share of drama

1. Briggs having 3.5yrs out of the ring and health problems shld not have been sanctioned.
2. Manny Siaca has been non relevant since losing to Kessler in 2004 or 2005, he also fought at middleweight the fight b4 Green and only had a couple of fights over the last 2-3yrs.
3. RJJ - We all know poor Roys history.

BJ Flores will bring something to the table.

 

:good

 

They are all solid names to have on his resume. But in their primes? RJJ would have knocked him out, Briggs would have beaten him and Siaca would also have been a challenge.
By the time he got to them, they were so past it that even flies wouldn't lay maggots in them.

BJ Flores is a whole other kettle of fish. Not a has-been, rather a will-he-be. A natural cruiserweight. I really think that after the Briggs fight that Green is trying to take on a real challenge. It isn't Huck of Cunningham, but it is a step in the right direction. I actually think that Flores will win; Green just seems to be at the stage of his career where he is just a sideshow waiting to end.

 

Flores is a full-size cruiserweight and I'm not at all sold on Green. If the fight is at the cruiserweight limit, Flores UD.

 

Green destroyed Jones, Siaca, Briggs so easily because those guys are shot so we don't really know where Green is at. Flores, a natural crusierweight will likely survive the first couple of rounds then we're in for a fight.

I think it's a toss up fight so I'm gonna lay some $$$ on BJ.

 

Green is gonna hit Flores so hard he'll knock the magick symbolz off of Flores' Mormon underpants.

True story dat.

 

Can anyone tell me what odds American bookmakers have for this fight?
The $1.18 being offered in Australia on Green is ridiculously short.

 

Flores is a good test for Green, but I think he has been overhyped simply on size:

From the limited amount of information we have, his last fight was against Mendoza. To put that length of time in perspective Green has gone from hero to villain over his last 3 fights. It's hard to say how the inactivity will effect him. He did spar with David Haye for his fight against Ruiz, but other than that not much else.

BJ has also only ever fought a handful of championship fights (3 12-rounders and 2 10-rounders), whereas Green has been at that level since 2003. The longer the fight goes, the greater Green has a chance of wearing him down and getting a KO.

Size wise I'd also like to point out the fact that Green has sparred with heavies before (i.e. Toney), and Flores isn't known to be a massive puncher or likes to impose his strength or weight on opponents so I don't see this as being that big a factor.

From the limited footage, Flores has decent technique, but nothing eye-catching. He appears to be hesitant in trading big shots, and combined with his lack of 12-round experience I expect him to be on his bicycle after 6 or 7 rounds, with the fight uncompetitive after that.

In terms of if there is a catchweight, I believe it has been verified that it is at the full cruiser limit. I don't expect Green to weigh 90kg, and from Flores's latest updates he is sitting 2-3 kilos above the limit.

Expecting Green to win a UD or a TKO in the last 2 rounds. However, wouldn't be a total shock for a win either way, so I'm still interested in watching this fight.

 

Flores is a smart fighter,and will jab, box and move all the way for an upset decision victory....ala the "Ding-a-ling" man win.

 

i hope you're right. i live in perth but really couldn't give a **** about danny green fights.
