    From the Sacramento Bee:

    Griffin hits road

    Sacramento light heavyweight Otis Griffin (18-1-2, 7 KOs), who defeated a previously unbeaten opponent in April for the North American Boxing Organization title and breezed to a tuneup win last week at the Radisson Hotel, has accepted a July 18 fight against top-10 world contender Danny Green (23-3, 21 KOs) in the latter's hometown of Perth, Australia.

    Griffin, according to his manager Nasser Niavaroni, will receive a $50,000 purse for the 12-rounder, which will be for the International Boxing Federation's Continental title and a potential shot at the IBF's 175-pound championship.

    3OG, just jab and move, give him a boxing lesson, don't engage too much, just when you rock him. You should be able to win a comfortable UD12 :bears:

    Son, I've seen every single fight of Danny Green's career. I've seen you fight twice. Thats enough to know that you're about as good as dead, babe. Enjoy the payday though and I hope my people treat you well. We'll be using your name for leverage soon enough :clap:

    I like Danny, he's probably my favourite domestic fighter, but he's sooo one dimensional and mechanical that I doubt he's going places the rest of his career, he's ruggered and tough, possessing a good chin obviously,...I think your best bet Oates, is to devise a plan with alot of movement and hammer those glass ribs whenever you can, Danny's reactions to bodyshots are quite telling, he's as hard as nails up top but he can't bare it to the body, that's the sweet bit, if you can dance around his train track and keep whackin' the middle of the carriage you oughta derail him, I'd avoid brawling with him head-on if I were you, fight smart baby, and best of luck :cheer: .

    I've never seen you fight 3OG, but that's an awfully huge step up you're making. Danny Green is a very good fighter, if you beat him, you'll be in the elite of the division. Here's hoping that you're gonna pull the upset!!!:bears: :bears:

    I just hope your typing and general motor skills aren't damaged after this fight. Fightbeat would be worse off without your presence. Come back safe :cheer:

    Hey Otis - good on you for taking that big of a step.

    To be honest I haven't seen you fight, I'll get hold of one of your fights or more, then come back with a prediction :lol:

    Great matchup. I think it'll be a fun style matchup.

    I can definately see 3OG winning this one. I was never that big on Green. He's still living off of that one fight where he should have come out as a champion, and has done virtually nothing important since.
