Green wins world title
From Fox Sports correspondents in Montreal
AUSTRALIAN Danny Green today buried the bad memories of his previous world title challenge with a sixth round stoppage of Canadian Eric Lucas in their World Boxing Council interim super-middleweight bout in Montreal.
The Canadian's corner threw in the towel with just a few seconds of the sixth round remaining after Green floored the former champion with a volley of right-hand punches.
Green, who suffered a controversial disqualification loss to Markus Beyer in his first world title shot in August, has earned a rematch with the German next February.
Today's result also strengthened the possibility of a mouth-watering all-Australian world title bout down the track between Green and World Boxing Association super-middleweight champion Anthony Mundine.
The 30-year-old Australian started slowly with Lucas, 32, making the early pace and winning the first two rounds.
Green looked tentative in those first six minutes, but gradually worked his way into the bout behind his stiff left jab.
Lucas' face showed signs of wear and tear from the fourth round onward and Green dominated the fifth and sixth.
The Australian pummelled the home fighter on the ropes with about a minute of the sixth remaining and then stunned Lucas with a jolting right uppercut 26 seconds from the bell.
Green pounced immediately, sending Lucas to the canvas with a cluster of follow-up right-hand punches.
Lucas took an eight count from the Mexican referee, but his corner spared him further punishment by throwing in the towel.
Green, who improved his record to 17 wins (all by KOs) and one loss was inspired rather than intimidated by the vociferous pro-Lucas crowd.
"By you guys booing us, you helped us out," Green said.
Lucas, who lost the title to Beyer on a controversial points decision in Germany, had his record dropped to 36 wins (13 KOs), six losses and three draws.
Green's victory provided triple world champion Jeff Fenech with his first world champion as a trainer and he quickly issued a challenge to all the other title holders in the division.
"He (Green) is going to be the undisputed super-middleweight champion, we want to fight everybody, anywhere," Fenech said.
