Aussiedave · Post by **Aussiedave** » 19 May 2010, 08:35

Tomorrow night, they will be announcing who hes fighting some time tomorrow.

Brute · Post by **Brute** » 19 May 2010, 17:26

Here we are, the day of the fight and there has been no announcement.

Unlikely there will be one.

big names don't tend to fight on a few hours notice, nor are they excluded from promotional activities leading up to a fight night...

Today is the 20th May, not the 1st April!

Ive heard a rumour, Maybe he is fighting tonight as a warm up. To a possible IBO Cruiserweight Title shot

I think that's the most likely scenario for a fighter of Briggs' popularity and calibre. I'd be hugely surprised if he suddenly just fought on the card unless one of two things:
1. It's an exhibition bout
2. It's a Thai cab driver with a 1-56 record just for him to get rid of the ring rust

Is somebody now going to come up with a 5'6" cruiserweight?

Hey, and there I was believing Briggsy when he said "No, I have definately retired for good. There is no come back." You would think I would learn not to believe fighters !! If he does, good luck to him.....a fit and healthy Briggs v Green, bring it on !!!!

AntonS · Post by **AntonS** » 19 May 2010, 23:19

If he's on the card , he'll be commentating.

Maybe we should spend a bit more time in the Brewery beforehand this time?

I have heard from very reliable source the Briggs v Green fight will not happen ??

Brute · Post by **Brute** » 21 May 2010, 00:10

Briggs is 35 and has not fought for three years. Somehow I think the comeback talk is scuttlebutt.

amwsnw · Post by **amwsnw** » 21 May 2010, 00:53

He has been very clear in his comments re not coming back, which surprised me when I read he was ??
But should it happen, yes Marlin, more time at the brewery is a top idea !!

He is making a comeback.

And this is what he said 2 night ago, "Announcing my fight with apponent tomorrow night in Sydney on Vic Darchinian's title defence Foxsports fight night I'm possative noone in Oz will be dissapointed with this dream Matchup" ....................

Marlin · Post by **Marlin** » 21 May 2010, 01:09

He was supposed to have a press conference months ago, it was mentioned in the newspaper, but I never heard of anything taht came from it.

I have also heard from a few sources now that he does want to fight again.

Brute · Post by **Brute** » 21 May 2010, 02:04

His official site expired in January. He has not renewed it.
