BAHAHA that's ****ed up. What a joke.
The Hulk.... train in the same bar as the last guy $BW fought by the looks of him.
I all fairness $bill is purely there for "fundraising". In other words, chocs lost most of his appeal and needs a drawcard to get interest these days when he fights these no chance outclassed opponents.
Choc and Green are everything thats bad for the sport, and the reason MMA is taking over IMO

The joke's on NSW boxing authority

THE fat one on the left, the one with the man-sized breasts, had never had a fight in his life until last week.
The one on the right had his first fight 16 years ago and is 26-3 since. He has two world title shots behind him ... and one in front of him.
The fat one on the left couldn't punch a time clock, it turned out, and revealed himself to be little more than a sideshow gimmick as he fell in the first round, unable to put up even a poor showing.
The one on the right has a punch that has put 18 knockouts on his record, and is in the kind of fighting trim that reveals plans for at least one more.
But this is boxing, and so the fat one on the left, Ryan Hogan, was deemed OK to fight Sonny Bill Williams in Queensland last week, while the one on the right, former challenger Paul Briggs, has apparently been considered unfit to fight anyone, anymore.
The decision to ban Briggs happened after the learned professors down at the NSW Combat Sports Authority scratched their tummies at Tuesday night's board meeting and declared that, at 34, he was too old to fight such a fearsome opponent as Danny Green. It's a decision that has caused much outrage.
The bout has now been moved out of state where the people of Perth have been happy to accept it, but the sour taste has been left behind.
Green, never one to die wondering, has called on Premier Kristina Keneally to launch an inquiry.
Briggs has called the decision "corrupt".
Authority chairman Terry Hartmann claimed all this could have been avoided if somebody - anybody - in the promotion had been a little more pro-active.
Hartmann wrote to the promoter on June 10 raising his fear that after Briggs' retirement in 2007 he claimed to have retired for neurological reasons - "dizziness" was the claim - and that they sought a "detailed neurological assessment of Paul Briggs, supported by an MRI".
"We stressed that it should be given due urgency," Hartmann said.
The board received the report on Tuesday, the day of its board meeting. "We received an MRI dated February 15 and a report, a five-line report on the MRI, dated July 1," Mr Hartmann said. He added that was clearly not satisfactory.
Briggs has denied making any such claim about dizziness himself and said it was, at most, an unfounded industry rumour. Green said he saw a two-page neurological report into Green - far more than five lines - and says Briggs was passed fit by both Ahmed Mohammed, a neurosurgeon, and noted fight doctor Lou Lewis.
In refusing the fight, the authority over-rode the International Boxing Organisation, which had already sanctioned it.
That showed a tremendous lack of consistency, stopping this fight on safety grounds while it happily, and continually, sanctions fights consisting of middleweights fighting blown-up welterweights, or similar weight discrepancies.
It revealed no understanding of how much training and sparring Briggs has been doing or what sort of shape he is in.
Briggs had passed every medical test put in front of him, despite rumour.
And while Briggs is 34, and has been inactive, Green is 37.
Boxing will exist whilever somebody can make an honest rouble from it, and somebody always will. But it is fading, broken beyond repair, and decisions like these bell-ringers are too often the norm.

Boxing: Green vs Briggs
i thought id post this
i paid for the main event like i normally do when either the ufc or a danny green fight is on or any other decent fights.
the under cards were ok, the green fight comes on and deadset paul briggs was knocked out with basically a forehead slap, the fight ended in 20 sec with a green knock out, green was pretty i rate and i was to, wanted it to go at least 2 rounds feel sorry for green promotions i think this guy took a dive.
this main event will scar boxing for a while, i guess nsw boxing will be saying i told you so, for not sanctioning the fight

Mate that was one of the worst displays i have seen in the ring...No way he should have been knocked from that punch, i wouldn't even call it a punch, that has just bought the Boxing in Australia in to disrepute, and they wonder why Australian boxers don't get taken seriousely on the world stage
I live in perth (the home of danny green) and that fight was one of the worst displays of sportsmanship I have ever seen. If Briggs is ever allowed to fight again it will completely discredit the sport. Briggs took one of the most blatant dives ever seen. There has to be e better excuse than the punch (or the thumb to the head), like a heart attack or something. Also the t.a.b. should hold all bets for this until an enquiry is completed. What a joke! The only thing I can think of similar is wwf. Not a fan of green or briggs anymore. The only way he can redeem himself is to fight the No1 contender and nothing else.
