Green V Flores – will it be another ‘sham’

When Paul Briggs was knocked out by Danny Green in July within just 19 seconds of the first round, Australian boxing fans reacted with outrage, and justifiably so.

The Western Australian Professional Combat Sports Commission regarded the match as a “sham contest,” asserting that Briggs did not fully disclose the extent of his concerning health status.

Even though Green was found innocent of any wrongdoing, he suffered damage to his image among fans who once revered him.

Following the debacle with Briggs, Green quickly promised to win back his supporters by bringing in a high-caliber opponent for his next bout in Perth.

His aim is to rehabilitate his reputation by fighting and triumphing over 31-year-old BJ Flores, who has an impressive record of 24 wins and one draw from 25 fights. And by the way…what could ‘BJ’ possibly stand for…maybe it’s best not to inquire.

“I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has been so supportive,” Green shared.

“I’m eager to make the fans proud and to repay the faith, loyalty, and support they’ve extended to me.

“I have nothing left to prove. I’ve always competed with honour and integrity, and I’ll do the same again on Wednesday night.”

Flores will present a considerable advantage in both weight and reach, but Green indicated that size will only be one aspect of the contest.

“He’s a large, physically dominant fighter who will attempt to assert his will,” Green remarked.

“However, he can box effectively and is capable of moving defensively as well.

“His skills are remarkable.

“For a big guy, he’s got an excellent jab.

“We’ve also prepared for an opponent who will press forward and try to utilize his size and skill.

“Regardless of which BJ shows up, I believe that my experience allows us to adapt to any scenario.”

Buford Balony says: Compensate them by issuing refunds for the last four lackluster fights, particularly for all his “hometown” supporters who traveled to Sydney for the Roy Jones match. It’s time to deliver or stay silent, Danny!
