    Yeah I looked forward to seeing this one, Green was a little tank and I'd seen two of his other fights, one being the Mugabi fight.

    Just when it started to get good, he pulls that ****. Almost like it was a friendly sparring match he way he expected to get a second. It could have gotten interesting. Shame.

    If he wanted a "timeout", he should have taken a knee instead

    I agree, but in his defense, I'll bet he never was in that position before, and taking a knee wasn't something he had any experience doing. He never did it before because there was never a need. Like Hearns with the clinching in the Leonard fight.

    Granted, he should have thought of that, but he ****ed up.

    Curry was never the same after being battered by Lloyd Honeyghan.

    Green would've been stopped sooner or later.
