From AAP - Boxer PAUL BRIGGS was taken to hospital for suspected concussion after his farcical display against DANNY GREEN in last night's IBO cruiserweight world title showdown in Perth. BRIGGS stumbled a few steps, dropped to the canvas and was counted out after copping a speculative GREEN left jab that merely glanced the top of his head, ending the bout after just 29 seconds. BRIGGS' trainer BILLY HUSSEIN says the fight doctor came back to the hotel and after checking him out decided it was best BRIGGS went to hospital. AAP RTV jsc/jd
Yes, here are some quotes mate http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/breaking/7626565/briggs-cant-remember-a-thing/
A thousand dollars per second?Not bad.In fairness though,Briggs was obviously a shot fighter and Green must take partial blame for this.
The fact he went to hospital proves nothing. Irrespective of whether he was genuinely hurt or not, of course he is going to cover his arse by going to hospital anyway. Lol, imagine how bad it would look if he was just having a beer a few minutes afterwards, joking about the Ko.
This is complete bull****!!! Explain why, Briggs was talking it up that he was going to punch holes in green. His actual words were "im puching holes in brick walls"
Name me one fighter who is past it who says "You know what, I shouldn't really be here, but it's a nice payday".
I'll give my take of the night in a few days when things have calmed down. Lots of gossip and rumours are flying around and I did spend a bit of time backstage and will elaborate soon. At the moment am still feeling pretty gutted.
All the people in on the fix betting on the first round knock out that won't get their money feel gutted.. Green witnessing briggs botched acting job was gutted... briggs ****ing it up and having instant replay show the bull**** besides the australian public that didn't fall for it and boo'd him ..they were gutted.. Anyone that payed money for that felt gutted...and the idea of green being an iconic aussie boxer..gutted
I guess they didnt think he would take a dive after the first punch to the head 30 seconds into the first round.
He might have had good days in training, if it is the same adrenal gland problems he apparently has suffered from it's more than possible that the occasion ****ed with his nerves and left him physically disabled in the ring. Green should cop **** for this whole thing because he pulled the name out of retirement because he wanted the easy dollars and the ego boost of beating Paul Briggs. I'll tell you why Green was mad, because he couldn't get credit for the win that he had bought. See the **** today, trying to claim that it was a legit knockout? What a joker
yup, what Green came out with today was ****ed, hated watching it . aussie boxing is being ruined by a small number of repeat offenders.
