green v drews presser

[shiner]

just saw this one the news, huge height difference, how he can make 79.38kg is unbelieveable. how much advantage does this height give him? what's everyones predictions?

[westside]

stipe med ud

[waynesmale]

hate to say it but this fight worries me and Drews might win UD because of his hight and the fact he is known to fight dirty which will piss Green off and we all remember what happened last time he got pissed off with a man named Markus Beyer.

[this bloke]

i thought green looked a bit tense similar to when he fought mundine
where as drews seemed very relaxed and confident and i think that drews might win a close decision

[sambo1987]

I was equally as impressed with drews' height as I was with greens car..geeezzz! But nah I'm not sure, the height difference is certaintly visible as predicted on paper but I think green's alot more powerful and his body is going to be right infront of him so I think his head will eventually come down to eye level at some point during the fight and green will hopeful jump on him. As Briggs has been saying, he needs to really bring out the mongrel in himself to win this one, I certaintly hope so.

NB Theres a short clip on fox sports of the presser if anyone is interested.

[the beaver]

I'm starting to worry about this fight from Greens perspective.........Drews height and demeanor is incredible.

[Hmmm]

Anyone found any pics - I couldnt find any...

[pecks]

I originally thought Drews UD, then changed to a Danny TKO, but lately have been thinking Drews is going to take it.

It should be close, but I think Drews' style will be too much for Danny. Hopefully I'm wrong.

[stingray7]

Danny has looked a lot better since he moved up in weight. The sparring with Gurov,Miller etc. will have helped.Drews has a good record but didn't handle Briggs aggression when Paul was firing. Hopefully Danny will remember that & keep the pressure on. If Drews is allowed to box he will pick Danny off.

[Dr Gonzo]

im going with Drews by UD. Danny cant adapt to akward styles all that well and Drews has one of the most unorthodox i have ever seen. Briggs is a better tactician than Danny which is why he came away with the W i believe, he figured out how to cut the ring off and countered Drews well in the later rounds. Looking for plenty of holding and dirty tactics which will frustrate Danny.
But if Danny can come on full force and work well inside he has a great chance, but i still think Stipe will take it in a close decision.

GO GREENY!!!

It might be better for Mundine if Drews wins so he can focus on moving on with his career.

It might be better for Mundine if Drews wins so he can focus on moving on with his career.You'd think so, though I have a horrible feeling that they will fight again regardless of the result of the Drews fight. :-(

I don't reckon they will if Drews wins.

My feeling is Mundine is taunting Green for a fight just in case he wins a belt at LHW........If Green is successful then Mundine will claim to be a 2 weight division champ when he outboxes Greenys ears off again.

If Green gets beat, Mundine laughs at him and tells him to get to the back of the line.....However if Mundine gets beat within the nxt 12 months maybe just maybe a big money fight in Perth could take place.

Just my thoughts

...and a heap of fools dont get sucked into another rort of a ppv

[rushman]

I would love to see Greeny win. I got my doubts though.

Stipe has looked pretty good, except for the one time against Briggs. During that fight he was simply beaten by the better fighter, and didn't have the skills to adapt - so he got dirty instead.
But he got back on his bike and has done a reasonable job of continuing with his career.

Greeny looked like gold until his fight with Sullivan. After that meltdown, things were pretty woeful for him. He has shown a few good signs since moving up to LHW, but I am not cnovinced yet.

Bottom line? Both have tried to bounce back from defeat, but I reckon Stipe has bounced back further and better.

Stipe win by UD. Im gonna cheer on Danny and hope for the best.

You are right about the result i think, gonna put some money on Drews. Let's be real man, Green never looked like gold, he has always been a stiff, dumb wannabe tough guy. I think it was hilarious how he was trying to mean mug Drews like he does to all his opponents and Drews was just grinning at him like he was a child :D

Green won't be able to pressure him, he is gonna get outboxed and frustrated, he usually looks frustrated as soon as he steps in the ring but it's gonna be even worse with the 6'5 southpaw in front of him. Danny Green does not have power, it's a myth that comes from his stoppage win over Eric Lucas who gave up more than anything. He has no 1 punch power, he needs to accumalate punches and there is no way he is going to be able to do that against Drews, he is too dumb and too stiff.

Hopefully nothing shady happens with the judging and Mundine moves onto bigger and better things. I doubt it though, it was pathetic how when mundine was asked about calzaghe and green he didn't say anything about calzaghe but he decided to call out green, he just wants easy wins and money, he doesn't care about fighting the real man.

Dam i can't believe how many people think Drews will win:patsch\
Each to their own i guess good luck to you all your gunna need it boys:bbb
All i'll say is that they'll be carrying Drews out of the ring come sunday and i don't want to hear the same cunts who reckon drews will win saying how shit he is:nono
Drews has no power what so ever i remember Oganov sparring him at Jeffs gym and walking straight threw drews jab as well as landing some nice shots himself and this was at a time when Danny used to spar Vic regualy and towel him up:deal
And when i saw a 40yo Branco shake Drews up on the inside during the 6th or 7th round i thought what the fuck would Danny have done to him with those shots?
I know Drews was out boxing Briggs but Briggs is more of a brawler than boxer and as soon as he couldn't keep Briggs at arms length he ran into the left hook and he folded like a deck chair his whole game plan went out the window.

Thats alot better :good Who wants to listen to negative crap then have people turn around and say 'oh but I hope Greeny wins, Greeny Greeny'.
PERLEAZE and I hope the commentators (Hi Paul) on the night are POSITIVE towards Danny, we do not want a repeat of the mundine commentating IMO :bbb

I agree with you and one in a million:good
The last thing we need is someone like barry michael getting the gig:dead
otherwise we'll have to listen to him tell us how this takes him back to the days i first crossed gloves with Lester:patsch
And matty Campbell please...the guy is a knob iam not sure who's tongue is further up chocs ass his or barrys.

Greeny will have Andy Raymond & prob Hussein Hussein or Paul Upham as special comments. Sometimes Paul Briggs as well.

All of them are far better than the joke Barry Michael. Hell i prefer punch drunk Jeff Fenech over Barry Michael. At least Fenech says how he sees it.

[rushman]

Who wants to listen to negative crap then have people turn around and say 'oh but I hope Greeny wins, Greeny Greeny'.

So you dont think that people who believe Drews will win, but would prefer Green does, should be able to express their opinions?

How does fuck you sound then?

[pecks]

Did any of you guys see the Michaels/Lester Ellis doco last week on the ABC?
It was a great watch actually, and his fight with Lester was a pretty tough one.

Also, I downloaded the Mundine/Clavero fight the other day and noticed that barry didn't once let out an orgasmic moan when Mundine landed on Clavero. Perhaps the penny has finally dropped for him, or perhaps Main Event had a quiet word with him.

Was also funny when Briggs commented "I said it when I fought him and I'll say it again now, I think Clavero's dogging it here", and then when Mundine speaks a few minutes later he says something like..."He's tough, he came to fight, just ask Briggsy"

[johnjourno]

Green to win,he was so relaxed in the press conference cracking jokes.Someone mentioned Drews was like a insect and Green quick as a flash says.

I will hit him high,hit him low,hit him with the old Pea Beau,fuckin hilarious:yep :yep :yep :yep :yep

So different his body language to when he fought Mundine...sorry chased his own shadow in the ring.Then it was more like.

Missed him high,missed him low,could be 50 YEARS BEFORE I LAND A BLOW.:yep :yep :yep :yep :yep

[bushboy]

yeh even though he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the fight game and doenst talk himself up i still think that listening to Jeff " Erhhm Ehmm" Fenech is like watching paint dry..

I think Danny Green is an awesome commentator and i have no doubt that when he retires he will make a healthy little career out of it..

[chinachin_76]

Green will win, I'm so sure about it I'm willing to put a month long avatar bet. Anyone up for a flutter? Hazethemaze perhaps....?

So what's the rules, if Drews wins i get to choose an avatar for you to use for a month and vice versa if the robot wins?

[chinachin_76]

yep, those are the general avatar bet rules. If Lurch wins you can choose an avatar for me and vise versa.

[hitman howe]

i know how slick drews is and that uppercut.But i saw the briggs fight live and hes a fucken big dudeman fireworks and then out walks daddy long legs.briggs was getting punched round the ring but then in close a LEFT HOOK dropped him and he looked like a spider, he sorta dropped straight down on his legs.then got up got scared and acted like a fag throwing a pitful jab THEN COME THE KNEE. Green knockout with that left hook drew gets scared bigtime and history will repeat itself

both :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

[Big Red Meat Axe]

I've got Drews by decision. He was boxing nicely against Briggs until Paul got to him in a clinch. I think he will be smarter for that fight and i see Green having a real hard time tagging him.

[chinachin_76]

Green and Drews both weighed in at 145.5 pounds.

I still cant believe how many people tipped Drews:patsch
I tried to tell you guys Drews was nothing but people were trying to make him out to be some slick boxer i mean i wonder if the people who tipped drews had actualy seen him fight.
I had a feeling this could be a mis match and i knew after Greeny won people would start to say how shit drews is which i agree with but who are the people who made drews out to be something hes not?
Their the same people who are now bagging him:deal
GO DANNY YOU MAD BASTARD!!
