just interested to hear what people would say if this was the result,

bj flores has a padded record and is crap!


danny green paid Flores to take a dive.


danny green could possibly be supermans son?

bj flores was jet lagged ?


im sure some people will come up with some crap to put on danny

Green got crap for the Dominguez, Siaca, and Briggs fights for good reason. If he produces another early knockout victory, there won't be any reason to criticize him. Flores is a legit cruiserweight, still in his prime, and a top 15ish fighter.

Also, props to Green for not choosing a tailor made opponent (a small cruiserweight who would stand right in front of him). Flores is a decent sized cruiserweight with fast hands and feet, and good boxing ability. He has the style to cause Green problems.

The only concern about Flores as an opponent is not his ability or size, but his style. He is known to be a 'runner' and his fights are not fan friendly. I think the fight will go the distance, and I expect a lot of people to start bitching about how boring it was. If Green wins a decision, that will probably be how people slag him off after the fight. If he knocks out Flores without too many problems, it will probably be 'Flores hadn't fought in over a year.'

No matter what people say though, this is a credible opponent , and it will be a good win for Green (IF he wins of course).

dominguez i dont remember anyone bagging green out for that fight, and wasnt a bad fight eigher , while it lasted.

siaca was a keep busy and stick it up your arse mundine fight and yeah it wasnt a real good show ( even though siaca looked like he was there for bussiness in the begging)

well i got nothing in defense of the briggs fight even if green did think briggs was going to be a good fight , green should have known better.

It's more like he didn't get any credit for it, and rightfully so, as Dominguez was a poor lightheavyweight. If Green beats Flores he will (or at least he deserves) a lot of credit.

I can only find an amateur fight and a first round KO win on youtube (linked below). I saw his fight with Darnell Wilson though. He stayed on the outside the entire fight, never stopped moving, clinched when Wilson got close, and did not throw many punches. Wilson could not touch him though, and Flores rightfully won a wide decision. I'm pretty sure he will fight the same way against Green. A lot of movement and holding.

That is the gameplan he must take into the fight. I still feel that Green will land at some stage and make it interesting.

Flores has a suspect chin, so the chances of Green hurting him at some point are good.

why is it suspect ? has he been knocked down before ?

BJF is a good well rounded CW. No obivous weakness except the habit of sticking his chin up in the air from time to time, but his chin is granite. He has been a prefered sparring partner of David Haye so he has experienced power a lot greater then Danny's.

He does have a wicked array of short punches in his armoy which Danny will have to watch if he chooses to fight close quarters.

BJF is quick and will come in conditioned and ready to go. He is still considered a fringe World Title contender, so will be very driven to win this fight so he can challenge for the World titles.

I really think this one is too close to call, I do not want to make a prediction. Happy days and a really great way to end the year. Thank you Danny and Green Machine promotions.


COME ON!!!!

Yes. He was dropped twice by a 1-2 fighter and he fights like a guy who is afraid to be hit. That is what makes him such a tricky opponent though.

well thats good new for green about the chin just hope green can land on him, he landed on mundine a few times but not clean enough to rock him.

speaking of knockdowns does anyone know if green has ever been knocked down ? ive never seen one.

I smell a bet of the day coming up..... woop woop

I think this will be a descent fight, better then some of his recent, Danny was knocked down once i think 29.09.04 by Eduardo Gonzalez, refer to Greens boxrec page, or Greens Fight Game Video there was nothing in it though, BJ will come to fight but Green will own him

Flores deserves this fight too. His record is not padded either, rather he has been overlooked by many top line opponents which he could prove his worth against. At the end of last year Flores was screaming for a chance to prove himself against one of the beltholders after quietly waiting his turn for so long, he even challenged Green to a bout over here. BJ must relise this could be his last chance at a title shot, i think he will come prepared. Im also fairly confident this fight will go beyond the 6th round, a distance Green hasnt been since returning from retirement. Can Green still box 12 high paced rounds? Can BJ hold it together when he feels Greens power? I think Danny beats any slugger in the CW division, BJ is a decent boxer and should test him in many areas

i think if bj can frustrate danny by being slippery he can win on points , but the way green trained for rjj i think he will be well prepared , i read he sparred over 300 rounds for rjj , thats some dedication rite there , will be interesting to see what weight danny comes in at and if he intends to bulk up im surprized the fight is so soon 10 weeks isnt much time to put on a lot of weight with concequences

I take it some of you will only be happy if Green fights one of the Klitschko brothers.

Get over yourselves!

I know I am British, but since this was announced I am actually feeling good again about Aussie boxing. This fight will be a cracker... BRING IT ON!!!

Green got up to stop Gonzales in the fifth. Gonzales had a points win in a ten rounder in 1999 against Roberto Duran. Duran was on the slide, but it was still a good win.

Getting back to Flores, he has beaten quite a few heavyweights. He is no mug.

guess thats pretty good going one knock down in thrity figths

just realized flores has a 7" reach advantage too
dont think green will let him get away with sitting on the outside jabbing away though

If Danny Green floors Flores in the first round? Great. Great for Danny Green. And great for us, there will be numerous conspiracy theory threads about Green's opponents being paid to loose interest early in the fight.

Although I have my suspicions with Briggsy.

I seen the knockdown, it was a off balance knockdown(flash), Green cleaned house afterwards.

Mundine as much as i don't want to remember, had Green seeing stars with a few punch's throughout there fight, but never seen the canvas, i still say it was the worst you'll ever see of Green, and in no way a reflection of who he has become as a fighter since his supermiddleweight days.

I'm really astonished at how much people really don't know about boxing after reading comments on other forums, and with that link that was provided to the daily telegraph. Theres nothing Green can do about the Briggs fiasco, the damage is done, but to turnaround and say this bloke can't fight is bullocks/bullshitt at best, this is clearly Green thrown it all on the line and a tribute to his fans in the truest sense.
If more Boxers were like this the sport would be mainstream, he said he was sorry/pissed off and promised his loyal fans value for money next time he stepped in the ring and he has done what no other boxer i can remember earning his sort of coin has done and kept to his word.

For me win/lose or draw,I'll support him, because i think he wan'ts to be remembered, i think he's for the fans and unlike others(Mundine) wants to prove knockers wrong.

does anyone know where and when the press conference for the fight will be in melbourne?

I hope that comment wasnt aimed towards me mate. I've given my props to Flores as an opponent, infact i think he's a very good boxer who i have regarded as a good challenge for Green for a while now. But if you wish me to be blunt, both Flores and Ross openly challenged Green to a bout late last year/early this year in Australia, both were very legit contenders, both were brushed aside and Green went his own way, Flores has now been inactive since the RJJ/Lacy card.

I give Green props for stepping up and i hope he will continue to do so if he wins against Flores, but he did have the opportunity to do so quite a while ago.
