    This wasn't a good few years ago. It happened this year.

    No probs. The fight was the biggest farce out there.

    Briggs hadn't fought in 3 years and there was a unusual amount of bets on a first round KO, which coincidentally had happened, which led us to assume that this was a set-up.

    Danny Green is a ultimate joke in my opinion. His "He aint even a canine" was cringe worthy. A shame people don't get behind fighters like Katsidis, but get behind this bum.

    To summarise it, it was a set-up IMO. The guy was in there for money but I reckon both knew it and was planned out.. Briggs just wen't down on the wrong shot which made it look bloody obvious.

    So yeah, hope that cleared up this farce for you.

    Surrey all the way :thumbsup

    There is a press conference easily accessible online where Briggs and Green are angrily lashing out against the people who were trying to stop the fight.

    It's hard to say whether the thing was fixed but both Green and Briggs played a role in going forward with an unsanctioned bout.

    Briggs is definitely an ******* for this but Green and his team has gotta share responsibility if not culpability.

    Its **** like this that makes me think that Roy Jones is telling the truth about Green wrapping his hands like a brick!

    The post interview Green did was amazing. 1000% times better than the fight.

    Whether Green was involved or not (I think he was), there's no doubt in my mind that Briggs took a dive.
