Green comeback CONFIRMED!

[COULDHAVEBEEN]

Danny's back.

[COULDHAVEBEEN]

Danny Green arrived at Subiaco oval this morning in a helicopter and announced he IS coming back and WILL fight Anthony Mundine in Perth.

Danny was quotated as saying 'It's not for the money. It's about revenge'!

Oh Danny, you can b/s some of the people some of the time, but this is about the $$$$$$$, first and foremost.

Hope you get revenge in the process. But this is about the money mate!

[roscoe]

He'l lose again. Styles make fights & mandy's is all wrong for him. He got outboxed by beyer, who has hand speed of a turtle.

[shiner]

if it was just about $'s why the warm ups?
I agree this pays a part- just as you don't go to work for free but to say first and foremost you obviously don't know much about him.

[Francis75]

This fight is terrible news imo. Does this now mean Mundine after defeating Shannon Taylor this week will have yet another 1 or 2 "tuneups" against no marks/never were's/never will be's then fight an inactive Danny Green who he previously schooled. No boxing fan wants this. This absolutely sucks.
Both of these fighters should have aimed up a year ago. Green after winning his 175 title against a mannequin who refused to fight shouldn't have thrown his much cherished "world title" in the bin and Mundine, well it's all been said before so i won't bother.

[Kegsy]

Its all about the Benjamins!!!!


$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Jack Daniels]

I'm back too!:D
I'll back Green to finish Mundines career/circus act.
Mundine's tune ups will be Lester Ellis, Guy Waters and Sean Sullivan so that he can get used to fighting against previously retired opponents.

[COULDHAVEBEEN]

I respect your opinion Shiner, and Danny will be busting to win, including a tune up or two as preparation. But the negoiating all these months hasn't been about choice of opponent, it's been about the height of the pile of bank notes.

This is probably 10% about revenge for Danny, and equally 90% plus about the money for Mundine.

After this announcement, does anybody actually think Choc is 'career' oriented? ...........SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!!!!

[baha74]

Couldn't have said it better Francis75.

Agreed.

I can't wait for someone to just retire Mundine. He has turned boxing in Australia into a joke.

[LeonMcS]

Got the chance to quickly talk to Danny on 6PR, was in the car when I heard him in studion so called the talkback number. Had a few questions for him regarding opponents, who his trainer will be but only got out one 'Will Nader Hamden be one of your comeback fights?' to which I got the straight bat reply of 'We're looking at few blah blah fought Mundines opponents before etc etc' and before I got a chance to ask anymore my bloody phone went out on low battery, not happy.
Still, better than my last attempt.

[THN]

Next year Mundine will fight the best, or maybe the year after :rofl:rofl:rofl
Ajay tell us more about Mundines plan :rofl:rofl

Good work, until the battery failed!

Loved watching Danny's fights, read his book, respect the guy. But I reckon he quit after Drews because in his mind he knew it was time. He's been seranaded & seduced by Nasser & Mundine Inc ever since, and now he's doing it for all the wrong reasons.

Having had a chat with him and listened to whatever else Danny might have had to say, what are your thoughts Leon??

[teke]

I'm back too!:D

[LeonMcS]

As I only tuned in halfway through and didn't hear any more after my phone cut out I can't really give an opinion. I probably only heard 5 or 6 minutes of the whole thing. My highlight though was the genius who got through and proceeded to give him technical advice, 'Throw your punch when Mundines bringing his hands back from throwing at you.' Brilliant.
I'm pretty annoyed at myself as thats the first time I've ever run out of battery, normally right on top of it. Really wanted to ask him about the timing of the announcement, waiting until Mundines come right down to Middleweight before saying he'll fight him at lt Heavy.
He seems pretty adamant its got to be at Subi oval and the more I think of it the more it makes dollars and sense. That being said, it seems he wants it all in his favour this time so will Choc be greedy/stupid/smart enough to accede to all these riders?

Spot on.

I wentfor Munidne hard in the first fight, because i thought he could go on to big things, but if he fights Green again, it proves once and for all he's not going to try and take on the best. So that being the case, he deserves to be savagely ko'd by Green.

[smellmyfinger]

If Green was really smart, he would have had 2 fights in the last 6 months while denying a rematch with Mundine, therefore allowing Mundine to waste away to middleweight, then turn around and sign for the rematch to be held in 3 months, leaving Mundine as less time as possible to get strong enough to match Danny at LH.

If Green has a better game plan then he can win. He needs to throw some punches that he doesnt normally throw, it will take power away from him, but we all know Danny doesnt need all his power to hurt choc.

[teke]

He'll have a better game plan but still wont be able to execute it well enough.

I think Green needed the rest mate...I think he's suffered from a fair bit of pain throughout his body over the years...a few months off surfing and enjoying life will have done him the world of good I reckon...

Maybe. Hope your right.

I wonder if he is pretty open minded in his comeback? Open to the idea of chasing a decent LH fight like Dawson, or even a past it Tarver.

Remains to be seen I guess - I can't fault the bloke for wanting some big bucks, but I dunno how he'd fare against the likes of Dawson...maybe he could take that RJJ fight after all? :yep

[theman1971]

Green is a cat, nobody in Aus would have heard of him if it was not for Mundine! Get real people!
How many of the general public have heard of Vic let alone Green!!!!

Mundine love him or hate him creates more headlines than the rest put together! That is fact!!!!

Mundine to smash green AGAIN for 10 rounds!!!!!

You're right...Mundine is better known for his empty promises than Vic is for his collection of title belts.

The difference is Vic is the real deal, and Mundine is good, but we'll never find out how good, because he'll never test himself.

Love to see Danny beat him, as would 90% of Australia, but it'll probably be Mundine in another canter.

[sambo1987]

I think Green has it this time. Alot of things are going his way - weight, location, timing (mundine from middleweight up to light heavy after fighting lesser opponents)..

And the money, well who blames him? Who would put their body on the line for peanuts? I think the way he has gone about this is just plain smart. Perhaps his retirement was legit.. but I'm sure it would be hard to say no to 5 mill and a chance at redemption against someone as irritating as Mundine.

Went for Green the first time, will be cheering for him this time.

[Francis75]

I'm sick of both Mundine and Green. They had their big fight 2 yrs ago and it was a definative victory for Mundine. I'm not interested in excuses for Green such as weight drain etc. The bottom line is that Mundine is a better boxer than Green. Case closed, or it should have been case closed 2 yrs ago. I'm sick of pointless rematches in boxing. Mundine-Green part 2 = joke, Tarver-Dawson part 2 = joke.There is even plenty of talk about Hatton-Floyd Part 2 = ah FFS enough of this please.

I say to Mundine - finally step up and fight Sturm who is a decent 160 champion, if not then f#ck off.
To Green - Very poor the way you gave up your 175 title a few weeks before your first defence then stated that you won't be the typical boxer who comes out of retirement. Should have defended that title and proved you were a worthy titliest at 175.It's not as if you were a long reigning champ who had defended 5 or 10 times etc.You had just won the damn belt.

I hope Mundine and Green both knock each other the f#ck out in this fight.

[SexualPanda]

I agree, this was my feeling on the news too, but deep down I always knew this was gonna happen, I've been telling my mate all along he would never stay retired. Every time they interviewed Green over the past year, he kept saying "I'm retired but I'd never say never", blah blah. Retirement was always BS. Makes me wonder now, if Green was trying to duck Garay. After seeing his performances after Green vacated, it wouldn't suprise me one bit that he started doubting himself.

Green and Mundine are just making a mockery of the sport of boxing in Australia. At least Choc will still have Teke and AJ as groupies who still think he's serious about EVER fighting a top contender. Can't wait for that big fight in the US in 2018 guys!!

[shiner]

no one ever heard of green pre mundine? shows how long you've been around the sport and sniffy chocs jocks TheMan!
check the sydney papers the day he won his Olymoic bout in 2000? full page spread. choc was still winger how even after he sucked off the national sellectors he didn't get a national guersney! also won a commonwealth games bout when choc was unheard of.

I'd agree with every word of this. :deal

I was listening to that as well, funny stuff.:lol: Green did say after your question that Hamdan was a good possibility:good

[Jack Daniels]

You def are back but its gonna take a little while for your humour to catch up to you

Who made you the fun police FFS?:blood
My point mate was to emphasise that Mundine is no stranger to fighting guys who've been retired for a while. Remember when he called out Ottke after Ottke had been retired for a year or so?
Funny thing is that he never seemed to call out Manny Siaca did he?
Manny fought a shit-house fight and still butt-f*cked theman that night.
When Mundine is standing in front of Danny Green at 175 Green will resemble Siaca and that will send shockwaves through the everleigh street king!:D

Your just a little off there mate. Mundine did call out Siaca. They were set to fight in Newcastle but Siaca pulled out.

You are right, I'll pay that, I forgot.

How ironic is this article? I forgot about how bad he wanted to avoid the showdown with Kessler before they'd met the 1st time! How shameful that in later years he even gave up the "championship belt" to avoid a rematch.:bart

[theman1971]

Shiner I am not talking about boxing people i am talking the general public, but now that mundine has made Green a name in aus he is lapping it up, dancing with the stars etc.

And to the other inbred I did not say Mundine would knock out Green I said Mundine would smash him for 10 rounds like he did in the first fight, you cant deny that Mundine didnt do that!

[ozziebattler]

Fucking Danny Green..What a joke..

The bloke promised so much,had all us bogans putting our wages on him and what he do..

SHIT ALL..

He wins a lightheavy title fighting a bloke Hurricane Briggs already stopped and then wakes up just before a dangerous title defence and quits..

He now is back to fight Mundine..

Everything has been said about Mundine so there is no need for me to go on about the mouth but what about DANNY BOY??

He has turned out in my opinion to be a total wanker himself..

Im going to stick with supporting true fighters like Katsidis and Darchinyan, rather then waste my hardearned buying ppvs and tickets to fill the wallets of mugs like Green and Mundine.

Both fucking bad as eachother...And shit i will give the mouth Mundine some credit as he can atleast make money from fighting people other then Green..Green on the other hand needs Mundine in his life to break bread..Its pathetic.

Some very valid remarks there mate.:good

[Rise Above]

I know I've lost alot of respect for the guy.

[ashley]

For mine I love green coming back.....i just hope they both have a few wins and at least I title between them before they get it on in a year or so.

Looking forward to another big fight between the 2.....if Green has form it will be very interesting.

Totally agree with you here. Green comes across as the Aussie battler type, and he loves playing that up, but is he that different from Mundine in a fighting sense. He has been living off Mundine's name his whole career and when he finally achieves something off his own back with his WBA 175 title he badly disrespects his 1st defence opponent and pulls out of their world title fight a few weeks before after both fighters had gone through nearly a full training camp with some bizarre story that he wants to spend time with his kids when we all knew he would be back to fight Mundine again. Green has earned a truckload of cash from his boxing career. A hell of a lot more than someone like Paul Briggs who is probably a better fighter than Green and guess what, Green owes it all to Mundine.

Everyone brings up Briggs when talking about Green, and dont get me wrong - Briggs is one of my favourite boxers, but at the end of the day Green was smart enough to manage himself and cut out the middle man, much like Mundine, which is why they are the only ones making any money.. You can't blame either of them for that, it's just smart thinking..

[Robot16]

This fight is terrible news imo. Does this now mean Mundine after defeating Shannon Taylor this week will have yet another 1 or 2 "tuneups" against no marks/never were's/never will be's then fight an inactive Danny Green who he previously schooled. No boxing fan wants this. This absolutely sucks.
Both of these fighters should have aimed up a year ago. Green after winning his 175 title against a mannequin who refused to fight shouldn't have thrown his much cherished "world title" in the bin and Mundine, well it's all been said before so i won't bother.


Yeah Danny pissed me off when he called off the fight with Garay.

[Super_Fly_Sam]

So i guessing all the rumours about Mundine apparently fighting Felix Sturm in July for the MW WBA belt and Mundines talk about dropping to middle weight is nothing but bullshit then...

I doubt Mundine will fight for any MW belt it took him 2 fight to get to down to MW from SMW so its prob gonna take another 4 or 5 to get himself up to LHW coz its unlikely Danny will come down for him.

And this fact alone shows how much respect these people have for the boxing public - zero.
