One jab that grazed the top of Briggs head and he goes down. That is beyond shady. Talk about having a plan of showing up and diving upon first contact. Horrible. Briggs should be ashamed.

I don't get a video, just a Fox sports article.
I'm surprised at Briggs taking a dive. He was a warrior at one time. I figured he would give ut his all and make it an entertaining scrap. Then I found out that he didn't even train and was overweight. Clearly he just wanted the big pay cheque and didn't want to get hurt.

Briggs came back for a paycheck. He showed up and dove for the canvas.

As an Aussie that makes me both angry and embarrassed.

The government should get involved in this. Those fans should be refunded, both gate and PPV.

Well at least Green said he's not going to pay Briggs. The N.S.W boxing commision actually wouldn't sanction the fight so they moved it to Perth.

If Green refunded all of his earnings back to the fans, he could then run for Prime Minister, or be appointed Governor General.

That was a video you watch and you think, is this fake???????
Briggs either did a worse acting job than my 3 year old son when he is pretending he is sick, or he is the most shot fighter in the history of the sport.

that is disgusting..a less than pawing jab tossed very soft that doesnt come close to hitting flush and the guy does a swan dive a few seconds later..why that makes the liston-ali2 and seldon -tyson fight look like a war.that punch could not deck a 2 year old kid..i dont blame green for getting angry and aplogizing to the fans..good for him..the nerve the guy came in 6 or 7 lbs over the agreeded weight also.ban him for life..

That's the worst acting job I've ever seen. At least he could've waited for a punch before going down. I don't think anyone told him to do that. Nobody is dumb enough to fix a fight that bad. He didn't want to fight.

Shameful. Same guy that was in 2 very close wars with Adamek, comes out and just takes a dive.

The video of this fight should be shown to all boxers looking to just go down and not get up. You at least want to get hit with a punch.
