If you did - and watched all 29 uninteresting seconds of it - you might be feeling a bit of a mug. But so did Green, at least for a while. Today’s red-hot story online is last night’s non-fight between Green and his overweight rival, Paul Briggs. Green was initially fuming, claiming there was “no way” his jab a matter of seconds into the fight could have knocked Briggs out. But Briggs went down and stayed down. Adding massive insult to the apparently slight injury, bookies suspended betting on the fight hours before it started after Briggs suddenly firmed for a first round knockout. The Daily Telegraph has detailed coverage of the whole affair, including a video interview with a fuming Green. But today Green said he has watched the footage again and thinks it was a legitimate blow that knocked Briggs out. Maybe the chap doesn’t know his own strength? feedback@thepunch.com.au (The Punch Team) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/election-free-zone-green-sees-red-over-blue/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/election-free-zone-green-sees-red-over-blue/#item3617 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:00:10 +0000 What the hell happened? Like the other 15,000 fight fans at Acer Arena last night, I’m still trying to work out how a tattooed knockabout - who nobody rated a chance – managed to knock Roy Jones Jr out. Oh – and he did it in less time than it takes to brush your teeth. http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/green-wins-with-courage/ What the hell happened?

As we stood in the carpark waiting for Penbo to remember where he’d left the Commodore, a heavy-looking dude called out: “Oy, what’s this show The Punch and how come I’m not on it?” It was world cruiserweight champion Danny Green, stepping out of the shadows with his hand extended and a mischievous grin spreading across his face. We explained that despite Penbo and Tors being, ahem, avid fight fans, it was in fact a politics and current affairs show (although I reckon there’s a spot for Greeny on the panel somewhere down the track.) The mood was upbeat until we got around to the topic of the paedophile Dennis Ferguson, whose situation we had just spent a fair slice of the show discussing with Housing Minister Tanya Plibersek. feedback@thepunch.com.au (The Punch Team) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/sparring-in-the-carpark-with-world-champ-danny-green/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/sparring-in-the-carpark-with-world-champ-danny-green/#item1246 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:00:10 +0000 What the hell happened?
