Yeah, someone being Briggs... he probably had his mates put 0000's on a first round, then he threw it, so he could pay off some of his outstanding debts to bookmakers in the east...

Just a theory :P

I agree... But you think you would go down with a more convincing blow than that! What a dickhead.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee?
I've had a butterfly fly into me harder than that punch...

It's obvious what happened, it's just annoying for all the people who actually pay money, go to the fight and then have to go home after 30 seconds. Money and politics aside, it's amazing that one person can inconvenience and disappoint literally thousands of people just like that. crapola.

- They need to bring over a fighter that is at least ranked to fight Green instead of some guy that hasn't fought in 3 years, Greens last two fights were agains fighters that had been out of the ring for 18mths and 3 years respectively. There would be plenty of willing fighters in the USA that are ranked in the top 40 that would have a crack at a title. Especially since Green is only ranked about 7th in the current Cruiserweights around the world, therefore he would be considered one of the easier title holders to win over.

Green still has the final say in who he fights (unless it's a title fight). This guy hadn't fought in 3 years, had serious health issues and was out of shape. The fight was a complete farce & Green & his team have to take some of the flak for choosing him as an opponent.

I know Green has the final say but if his management can only bring up Briggs as the best of the bunch to choose from then they are getting it wrong.

Jonny Lewis was on the news last night saying that the punch wouldn't have dented a Sao biscuit.
That's comming from the best trainer Australia has and will ever see.
