			==Post Fight Statement of Danny Green==

			At the post fight news conference, Green said his attitude had changed after reviewing the tape of the bout. He saw the replay in slow motion and was convinced Briggs was legitimately hurt. "I caught Briggs on the soft part on the skull on top of the head," said Green, adding though it looked like the punch only glanced Briggs, Green was convinced the punch caused damage. "To the naked eye it appears it (the punch) hasn't landed, but this is proof he (Briggs) was felled by a legitimate blow to the head and actually a brain stem kind of injury has occurred. It's almost like a collision."
