Danny Green scores early knock-out win AAP - April 26, 2009, 11:02 pm Danny Green put arch rival Anthony Mundine on notice with a brutal demolition of South African Anthony van Niekerk in front of more than 4000 fans in Perth on Sunday night. Green, who improved his record to 26 wins and three losses, knocked out the 35-year-old in second round, proving his 11-month 'retirement' had robbed him of none of his trademark power. Van Niekerk, whose record slipped to 21 wins, seven losses and two draws, threw plenty of punches but none was meaningful. In contrast, Green's left jab was causing van Niekerk plenty of problems, and a flurry of punches knocked van Niekerk to the ground midway through the second round. Van Niekerk made his way back onto his feet but seconds later another flurry of punches from Green and a powerful right hook ended the bout 2.42 into the second round. "I think if I fought King Kong tonight it would have been the same, I felt great," Green said. "Guys I'm back. "I caught him clean and not too many people would have stood up to that shot. "Anthony Mundine, you called me out ... it's lights out." It was Green's first fight since December 2007, when he defeated Croatia's Stipe Drews to claim the World Boxing Association light-heavyweight title. Three months later, an emotional Green shocked the boxing fraternity when he announced his retirement. But his time out of the ring was short lived, with a lucrative offer to avenge his 2006 loss to Mundine simply too good to refuse. Mundine won the first fight in an unanimous points decision at super middleweight but the sequel, tentatively scheduled for early next year at Subiaco Oval, is likely to be held at either Green's preferred light heavyweight or catchweight. The Last Post was played before the bout started and a minute's silence observed in honour of the Anzacs. "The most important thing is this is the most important thing is the weekend I fought on is the most important weekend in our country's history," Green said. "To all those diggers (I dedicate this to you). "I just picked my chance. "I was relaxed in there. "I'm ready to go again." |

For the love of Christ, will this bloke give it up? Take the pictures of Mundine with the Devil's horns drawn on OUT from behind yoru eyelids, get rid of the Anti-Mundine shrine, and go back into retirement Green you butt pipe. |

Trouble with Green is his lack of irony. He badly needs a ghost writer, even Nath would do. |

Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next.

Can you blame him when the money being offered by Mundine was too good to refuse? |

I know but surely he could make adequate money doing something other than looking like the most desperate man alive. |

Mate Mundine has been throwing piles and piles of money at him. Good luck to Green for taking it. |

Does anyone actually know that? All I've heard is how Mundine has apparently been trying to fight him again and again, yet FOR ONCE Mundine keeps his mouth shut and openly says "no" (when in the past he has even claimed that he would fight Calzaghe etc in blatantly untrue displays of bravado). I don't see why people are so 100 per cent sure it will happen. I know obviously it would pay shitloads but f*ck, can everyone move on? |

Mundine is all about money. Even his next fight isn't against a top rate opponent who has been fighting the big names. Your a fool to think Green's comeback has nothing to do with Mundine. I'm not a huge Green fan either and think both should move on with their lives. But if they both get big money from it, good luck to them. |

Of course I think it has something to do with Mundine - re-read what I said. I just don't think there is much evidence at the moment to suggest that Mundine gives two shits about Green, unlike Green who obviously still wants Mundine. |
