be ahead on points by the end of round nine. In round ten one commentator observed that "Green's had his nose busted a bit", and with a minute remaining in the eleventh round, Green was knocked down by "a massive left" from Włodarczyk. Green rose to his feet, however the referee called off the fight to award Włodarczyk a TKO victory. Green was "highly gracious" in defeat and congratulated his opponent on his win (Włodarczyk's 46th in 49 fights). Whilst in the ring, Green said that he didn't know what the future held, and said of the fight "I took on the best cruiserweight in the world and was four minutes away from a fairytale." Green stated that he was happier with his performance than he had been after the Tarver fight. Włodarczyk admitted that he had started the fight slowly but improved towards the end, and stated "I think I felt less pressure on me boxing away [from home]." Green held a press conference on 2 December 2011 at which he refused to rule out retirement; stating "Age means nothing, it's up to individuals" and "I would like to walk away saying that I can still beat the best." Later career On 6 June 2012 Green held a press conference to announce that he would fight American Danny Santiago on 25 July 2012 in Perth. Green spent the majority of the press conference discussing Anthony Mundine, and it seemed that Green planned "to drop down to the light-heavyweight division in a bid to coax Mundine into a lucrative rematch." Green stated that "it will be most probably the last time I fight in Western Australia", and said of his opponent "Nothing soft comes out of the Bronx, and he's a very tough guy." Green sent Santiago to the canvas three times before defeating him by a TKO in the fifth round of the July bout. Green remained "tight-lipped on his boxing future" and replied "I'm just going to relax and enjoy it" when asked about his plans. Green's most recent professional fight was a points win against Shane Cameron in Melbourne on 21 November 2012. The win resulted in Green claiming the IBO world cruiserweight title (which was vacated when Antonio Tarver returned a positive drug test), the fight was first announced at the full cruiserweight limit but a catch weight was soon announced at Dannyweight of 194 pounds.
