Things just never change with Mundine do they? :lol:

[T.C.W]

Things just never change with Mundine do they? :lol:What do you mean this is a good fight at 160, It will make money in OZ and sell PPV

[Marcus]

hey maxime... this geale is a very good boxer. if he keeps his range and boxes like he can, the mouth might get outpointed.

geale is a liitle short on pop but makes up for it with boxing skill.

but it is his big step up, but has wanted mundine for a while now.

[smellmyfinger]

While we all want the genuine big name for Mundine to fight, this is at least a step in the right direction. And considering how Mundine has performed lately, i give Geale a chance.

[Rise Above]

I'd love to see Geale win but I dont think he will.

[shiner]

load of shite from mundine.
good opportunity for geale but he's too slow and not a big punch to even potentially hurt him.
read my post re geale change of opponent from toney, all comes true now!

[ashley]

Good fight for Geale.... and it will show us how Mundine is going against a real top 10 to 15 fighter

[Marcus]

i have geale winning on points, what about you ash?

[LeonMcS]

Ash & Marcus, its like asking Israel & Palestine whos right.

[ashley]

i have geale winning on points, what about you ash?

I have mundine by close ud maybe 3 rounds....I think the fight will be good......Geale has good skill while Mundine has speed and evasion......no walk in the park for Mundine

Thoughts about Green VS Taylor on the undercard?

[flamengo]

Good fight for Geale.... and it will show us how Mundine is going against a real top 10 to 15 fighter

Good point.... 'a real top 10 to 15'...... Applaudes to Taylor for lasting the distance, Geale will have the platform to show a better test, relentless test... and The Man needs it.

If Geales in the right state of mind, Mundines M/W abilities should be exposed... good or bad. Looking forward to the fight.

[roscoe]

This is Geales big chance to prove he's world class. Mandy is on the decline imo, his best days are past him. You don't peak in your early to mid 30's in anything. Geale made dawson look a novice when they fought , who has a lot more firepower I believe. He shut it down. Geale has to work on nullifying mandy's speed & if he can I can see an upset here.

[Sox]

i have geale winning on points
Me too.
I really believe Geale can take this if he performs at his best, and if the fight is judged fairly.

[Marcus]

geale seams to fight to the other guys level.
anyone watch the avajek (spelling) fight more than once?
i thought geale looked like he could be pushed around.
geale should be on his bike all night, in and out, try and beat mundine to the punch and throw more combos .... its going to take a huge effort. i hope they get fenech to train geale and corner man him

[flamengo]

Marcus.... why would you want Fenech to train, or corner Geale??

Geales in a great position, just having this fight.....

Nothings broken.... why fix it????

[greenghost]

I dont see anything in geale to make me think he will win.
What happening with sturm?

[flamengo]

GG... Geale has an oportunity... He's going to be in the mix, against Mundine, who looked quite average against an aged Taylor.

Taylor's ability to sustain agression throughout this bout was admirable, yet, its reflective on Mundines sub-standard efforts.. he cruised through the bout. Is there any serious creditable work from Mundine in the last fight, that leaves Geale without a show? Fitness might be a killer, as Geale has to keep the pressure on..

Perhaps Mundine was saving some energies, and working up to fights 2,3 and 4 at M/W..??

I just hope this fight is an absolute belter.

[Marcus]

Marcus.... why would you want Fenech to train, or corner Geale??

yeah its nothing against the grange team. but didnt fenech come into camp for the dawson fight? fenech was his corner man for the fight and did a perfect job.

i think geale really looks up to him and feeds off him....just my opinion but thats what i see.

Fair enough mate. I just think Geales going to lose 'a little something', if 'something is replaced'.. It does work against a man.. psycologically.

Cheers mate.

[smellmyfinger]

Yeh Fenech was their for Geale's best performance, but i'd consider that just a coincidence. I wouldnt let Fenech anywhere near my fighter.

true.

[maco_187]

however in saying that i clearly remember fenech best advice in saying that to geale when he was cut and looked to rush nothing changes daniel nothing changes and it worked like a charm....
i dont think fenech is the greatest trainer for everyone but has any of the hussein bro looked the same since jeff left them? even green looked his best under jeff, hes no health care expert but he does get alot of his fighters at certain stages..

From reports, careers, promises, training programs and fighters have been completely abandoned.... for the sake of an easier DOLLAR. The abandonment is what leaves the damage.

Easy money to be made for serious punters

No need to tell us.We already know what the result should and probably will be. Mundine comfortable decision.:good

[ashley]

Does anybody think this fight with Geale is a bad fight for Mundine?

Is this the first sign of Mundine trying to fight some better fighters in his lead up to Sturm?

This fight is a step up......all aussie ESB must agree.....yes?

Geale must be a real top 15 MW....hes got speed and boxing skill....and hes no mug around the ring.

However it looks like some people think Geale will be an easy beat for Mundine......you guys must have a high opinion of Mundine :yep

[sambo1987]

geale seams to fight to the other guys level.

I think the same case could be argued for Mundine, so ultimately this should get choc over the line with a close points win.

However, I still give Geale a chance, just not the hit-and-hope chance I ambitiously give every other fighter who comes up against choc. I think Geale's next fight will say something, its been so long since I've seen him fight I forget how the plot goes with him.

Anyone got the tale of the tape? Who's got the height/reach advantage?

I think this is a great fight for both fighters, and for the boxing public.

It is a step up for both fighters, but more so Geale as he hasn't faced anyone as good as Mandy.
It's also a step up for Mandy with regards to his latest fights, however, Mandy has been in with a few very experienced fighters prior to his latest weak efforts.

Geale has a very real chance of taking this IMO, and even if Mandy does take it, there's no way in hell it will be a push over. Mandy hasn't shown anything lately to prove otherwise. Geale has been nothing short of very impressive in his last 3 fights.

I'm really pumped for this, can't wait.
I'll also be putting some $$ on Geale to win.

[Sox]

[kel]

I'm happy to see this fight.

Good test for Mundine before a possible Sturm fight a few months later.

[ashley]

Boxrec has Mundine at 4 and Geale at 5....we all know they can be off with the faries from time to time however......who would you have infront of Mundine......Duddy, Silvester, Grevor?

The more I think about this fight the more I like it

[TheDuke]

i haven't seen the other two but Duddy has not impressed me at all. Maybe i'm the only one that thinks this way but....i've seen him struggle in a couple of fights with guys that stood in front of him and fought back.

[ranser]

this should be an easy fight for Mundine.
He is just too quick for Geale.
Mundine's opponents are all designed to be easy beats.
Haven't you guys realised that yet by now??

No. Please educate us.

Mundine always fights the hardest oposition, his management team do a fantastic job at picking great quality oponents... for every fight.

'Team Mundine' are a selfless crew.

Saves me from saying it ...

[flamengo]

Saves me from saying it ...

I was joking. :good

[Wrangler]

A Geale victory wouldn't really surprise me. I think Geale has more of the technical aspects of boxing on Mundine, however, Mundine's asset is his speed. I can't see Mundine KOing Geale and that, I think is a problem. A victory for Geale would also give a good indicator of where he is at and maybe open the door to some fights against some big names. A victory to Mundine would add more to the Mundin/Green circus cause he will undoubtedly taunt Green and say something like 'no one in Australia can beat me'. All part of the pre fight II hype I think.

[flamengo]

For Geale, this fight is his door to better and bigger fights. A victory will be difficult... unimaginable for most, although a tough battle against Mundine will 'prick' the ears of big name promoters.

[kel]

I think he got the joke pal :patsch

:lol::lol:

[smellmyfinger]

I wonder who will enter the ring first? Mundine should as he's the challenger, but we all know he has a way of convincing the opponant to enter first. Am i right in saying the only 2 times he's entered first were against Ottke and Kessler?

[flamengo]

....another thing to ponder.... whats the National Anthem, or flag situation???

I doubt Geale would let 'Team Khodder' convince him to be totally biased.

[boxoncottonon]

IMO Geale has 3 things he can use tom his advantage in this bout:
1. He throws punches in bunches...doesn't bob around one jab at a time, almost always 3 & 4 punch combo's.
2. Is a great body puncher, his left body rip is damaging.
3. Has a solid chin.
I dont see this as a step up for Geale, more a steping stone.
Mudines last few fights have exposed his lack of international genuine contenders and the damage it is doing to his abilities.
His last fight on review could be said to be nothing less than embarassing.
The tried true and tested defence of Mundine, the repeated turning of the back to his oponent was at it worst and showed a complete lack of respect to his oponent. Salting the wound to his oponent further were his pleas to the ref for being rabbit punched while employing this style of defence.
Geale is a classy fighter moving his career forward and his body punching and persisitant combo's upstairs will put him in good stead for a victory.

Welcome to ESB :good

I like Geale but he is going to find it hard to tag Mundine enough to win....but good to see another Geale hugger on here.....Marcus your not alone :hey

[maco_187]

lol welcome but point 3 is completly wrong, he doesnt have a solid chin hes been dropped numerous times hes evasive and doesnt get caught often at all thats his advantage....
still not ready for mundine wont beat him with speed... someone like bika is a nightmare for mundine at middle

[StiffJab]

I am a Geale Hugger, i have faith!

[ashley]

Interesting more people think Geale will win....like to replay this may 28 :yep

[boxoncottonon]

Point 3 might be better reworded:
20 fights for 20 wins, undefeated record.
Has a chin solid enough to have assured him of an umblemished professional record.

Yes but Mundine is the best fighter Geale has come up against......not that Geales chin will be that tested.....but I do think Mundine will be evasive and quick on the night and geale will need to hit him often to get the points

[rumour24tiger]

Geale's chin would have been tested by Abraham. Iwish that fight was back on; rather see Geale in there than Lajuan Simon.

Good that he's still willing to step up. Something that Mundine doesn't seem too interested in, the way he constantly wants to fight guys below him, making easy money despite his performances suffering.

ummm....this is a step up for Mundine :yep

[boxoncottonon]

Is Mundine the best Geale will have faced up to....time will tell?
Mundine has fought the distance 5 of his last 6 fights. Cant finish has beens and "B" class boxers.
Krazy Kim dropped him.
Pintos thrashed his torso the entire fight with obvious displeasure to Mundine.
Taylor attempted to take it up to Mundine and he either crouched to the floor or completely turned his back. World Class...not!
I get the distinct feeling Mundines best days are behind him.
Nothing I have seen over the past 2 years from Mundine would rate him as a serious contender anymore.
The huggers lost in Mundines self hypnotising hype and need to stop flapping thier arms like chickens every time he claps his hands and take a honest look at his current form.

Most of that maybe true but hes still going to outpoint Geale

I would hardly call guys like Crazy Kim, Clavero, Pintos "B" class fighters. I don't think there's a letter in the alphabet to equate to their level.

Will anyone back Mundine in for a Knockout??
Pick a round...

I'm not a Mundine fan by any stretch of the imagination, but you need to be unbiased. A few points i will make -

* Geale DOES NOT have a solid chin. Lets be perfectly honest here. Even though he is rated number 10 by ring magazine, Geale has not fought anyone who would be classed as being better than Journeyman level on the world scene. Geale has been dropped several times by several opponents throughout his career to date against very poor opposition. His last opponent was a joke opponent for Geale and although Geale probably won every rd McKinnon did drop Geale.

* Fighting Anthony Mundine is a gigantic step up for Geale. Please explain how it is not ? Even though most on the forum hate Mundine we do respect his ability. Anthony is a million miles better than anyone Geale has ever fought.

* You say Mundine's last fight was embarrassing and you are correct. Taylor was not going to be competitive, we all knew that, but Mundine won every rd in a glorified sparring session. Imo Shannon Taylor is a better opponent than Geale has ever fought.

Geale appears to be a tidy boxer with good skills imo. He has zero power and is a bit dodgy in the chin department when we think of how he might do on the world scene not the journeyman circuit. I expect Mundine to win quite comfortably over the distance. About 117-111.

You don't think Mundine is the best opponent Geale has faced yet ? I would be curious to know who you think Geale has faced who is anywhere near as good as Mundine ? I agree with you that Mundine is now past his best at nearly 34 yrs of age. That is without doubt imo. I just don't see Geale being good enough to win 7 rds in this fight to nick a decision. He has next to no chance of stopping Mundine due to his lack of power.

As i said earlier i think Geale is a tidy well schooled boxer but he is going from playing reserve grade to first grade here. I would have preferred he step up gradually with guys like Pittman/Soliman (i believe he would probably beat both) then to jump right up after fighting the journeyman circuit like Pittman did. I don't blame Geale for taking the opportunity because he will be paid ok and if he pulls if off it will be huge in Australia.

How do you think the fight will go and what will be the outcome in your opinion ?

[ashley]

Soliman would beat Geale, Pittman errr dont know but if my life depended on it i would take him.

I would agree Sam would beat Geale and I think Pitman would win as well.....I rate Pitman and if he stays busy we will see him get another title shot soon

[SexualPanda]

The only reason Geale is ranked the #10 middleweight by some organizations is beacause of his IBO belt which obviously has given weight to his standing. If you base it on ability, I would not have Geale in my Top 20 MW's.

And while Mundine would absolutely be murdered by any of the top MW's like Pav and AA, and outboxed by many others, I would still consider him to be somewhere in the Top 10 MW's, around 8 or 9.

I cannot put him any higher based on his recent pathetic opposition and performances.

Neither fighter has enough power to knock out their Grandma, . . . and based on the fact that Mundine has better boxing ability, it will be a lop-sided UD win.

[WhataRock]

Choc UD.

Still a very interesting bout for me though. I think Geale's kryptonite will be power, he will get knocked out at some point by a top contender with power, maybe not even a top one if he drops the ball.

Choc has not displayed the power he had at 168 for a long time, nor the confidence he needs to use it.
Geale's decent technical ability and busy, neat style could give Choc a very hard night.

That being said Mundine steps it up when it is needed..I dont see him losing this one, even in his possibly weakened state at 160.

[SexualPanda]

I think Choc's power was always overrated even at 168. The only reason he has a somewhat decent KO ratio is because of his lack of quality opposition. Can anyone even name a quality opponent he has knocked out??? And don't say Soliman, the guy is a small MW for god's sake. His last KO was against Clavero, a guy who had lost 5 of his last 7 fights prior to fighting Mundine. And what a comedy of a fight that was. . . absolutely laughable KO. The guy clearly dogged it and fell from a slap.

I don't see Mundine knocking anyone out until he takes on Rico Chong Nee's cousin at LHW in preparation for the Green rematch.

He KO'd Guy Waters with a good shot, and Waters fought mainly at LHW.

I do think Mundines power has deminished in the last 3yrs.

[WhataRock]

Knocking out Sam Soliman is a pretty solid achievment, no matter what weight. He also stopped Sean Sullivan and Ricky Thornberry. He clearly marked up guys like Echols and Green, with hard clean shots.

There is no denying his concussive power...its isnt top shelf but it is there.

Choc has not displayed the power he had at 168 for a long time, nor the confidence he needs to use it.

I couldn't agree more with this statement.

My assessment of Mundine is based on performances over the last 2 years.
The exciting style which so dominated Mundines first 30 or so fights has diminished noticeably.
He throws less punches, less combinations, runs away and either turns his back on his opponent or almost kneels on the canvass. 5 of his last 6 fights went the distance with weak opponents.
This is in stark contrast to how his career got up and running. It can be said had taken the easy road on many ocassions when taking on weaker fighters but he has kept seriously busy as a boxer and all in the boxing game would have expected by now to see a polished boxer with serious weapons.

Where has his confidence gone? The Mundine of old would have destroyed these oponents well within the distance and be marching toward the top level world class fighters.

[JoeAverage]

Does anyone know an online bookie that has this fight?

[raff]

im not a mundine fan, but geale is overrated imo

[flamengo]

Guys, its hard to imagine Geale not taking this oportunity to give Mundine as much trouble as possible. KJust how much trouble Geale can muster up is hard to concieve. Mundine always has an answer... in 90% of his bouts anyway.

He looked average against Taylor, only due to his limited SERIOUS efforts. He appeared comfaortable going the rounds, and may have picked Taylor for the sake of getting rounds into his legs. Simply, a conditioning fight.

Geale, should he attempt to KO Mundine, may well give Mundine some anxious moments. If Geale legitimately mixes it, or forces the fight, Mundine might have to use every ounce to STOP him.

This fight still makes the mind wonder..

1. Why the hell would Geale take the fight??? He is obviously confident... Great step for him, and full praises to Geale for accepting the bout.

2. If he loses shockingly, he will be in the backwaters of the M/W division.... alas, a great performance will open some eyes.

3. If Geale wins.... big IF IMO, will he take the thrown, and take the 'bigger' fights made available to him, unlike Mundine over the last 12 months??

This fight does carry a lot of weight... positives and negatives. Mundine may destroy a potentiallly fantastic 'Geale' career, yet, Daniel has accepted the bout. Best of luck to Daniel for giving himself a shot, and the Aust. public the chance to witness a courageous kid with stars in his eyes.

Mundine, if to win, should take heed of Daniels attempts, and show some creditable form in the future.

[JOSEY WALES]

Yea i bag Mundine for fighting blokes way below the level he shoud be fighting at and the hype surrounding this fight proves im right in doing so , Young Geale is a decent fighter from the little ive seen of him but really ? Would Mundine still be fighting @ this level ( Domestic ) IF he didnt know the game was up ? Look for Mundine to beat Geale then Challenge Sturm then quit ,Mundine might be as thick as a paperboys scarf but he ain't stupid .

[flamengo]

If Mundine wins and challenges Sturm, hopefully the fight goes ahead....

If Geale wins, I imagine he'd have the willingness to face anyone, anywhere, anytime for any legitimate Title.... something thats been missing in Mundine.

...... looking forward to the bout more and more.

Starting to hope Geale prevails also, for the sake of some reasonable defenses/ challenges being made.

Mundine won't destroy a potentially fantastic career for Geale.. u want to know why??? Because if Geale can't beat a soon to be 34yr old past his best contender in Mundine, then there was no promising career in the first place.

If Geale is any good, this fight makes sense,otherwise it wasn't mean't to be at the top level.

Geale, 20-0 atm, has atleast 5 good years of boxing left. 18 months of that, to earn his respects on a world scale. This fight is a MUST win..... for both men.

No man achives 20-0, without risks. Geale is a man in the making, a good performer on the brink of BIGGER things.

Mundine is a man with the world at his feet, yet he dances on the 'National' dance floor. He's wasting his own time, plus the time of us fight fans... You cant dismiss his ability, just become frustrated at the 'circus'... Hopefully Geale makes a clown out of him.

Firstly i would like to take this opportunity to say a BIG thankyou to Ashley for keeping flame lit while i put myself on Mundine ban for a few weeks. Ashley great job mate but its time to take a back seat while im around :yep:good

Geale will not win this fight.

I've read that Mundine wont be the best that Geale has ever fought :rofl:rofl:rofl

Alot of respect must be given to Geale for taking this fight, i compare this to when Mundine fought Ottke. People gave him a chance but in the end he was always going to lose to a undefeated champion who was far beyond him in experience at the time. Geale had some good choices as opponents here in Aust to use a stepping stones to get to Mundine but he has decided to go the full hog. Soliman, Pittman, Taylor are all good fights for him.

As for Mundine not being able to KO Geale, please brothers...Mundine has every advantage possible in this fight. If he is on his game and tags Geale easily early in the fight then i expect him to fall before the 12th.

Time to put my money where my mouth is :yep

I offer my facebook profile pic space for 2 weeks to anyone who thinks Geale will win :deal if i win all you have to do i fly an avatar of my choice here on ESB.

There has to be some takers cause there are some that believe he will win.

Lock me in as a end of the year Award winner if Geale shocks the world :deal

Glad to see Mundine still has 1 fan left.

I don't think many people are predicting a Geale win but just expect him to cause Choc a few problems. I don't agree and think Mundine has much better boxing skills to EASILY win a UD.

I agree that Mundine WILL be the best Geale has fought, however as for stopping Geale, your friggin kidding yourself. You obviously didn't see the Taylor fight. Absolutely no pop on his punches WHATSOEVER. His punches were more like slaps. Mundine couldn't crack an egg the way he's been going, and it's quite obvious that what little power he had to begin with is all but completely gone moving down in weight.

Teke every opponent Mundine is up against, you say he is getting stopped, and each time you are wrong, . . don't make yourself look like a fool again.

Happy to put my money where my mouth is, that is, if you think Geale will be stopped. If you can't knock down, let alone even hurt "D" grade bums and blown up welterweights (e.g Pintos, Taylor) you aint stopping ANY decent contender. Not a chance in hell is this happening.

Geale will win this fight. :deal

I agree, Mandy is of course the best he's fought, I don't see how anyone could see that he ain't. :nut

I agree that Geale should have first fought the likes of Soliman, Pittman, even Bika. This is a brave and tough move for Geale. :bbb

There is not a chance in hell that Mandy can KO Geale though. Refresh your memory and take a look at Mandys last 5 fights, granted Soliman was in that group (though he did KO him only 1 year before), but look at his last 3 fights.
There has been a small but definite decline in his performance in every fight since he KO'd Soliman 2 years ago. :tired

The way I see it is if journeymen like his 2nd and 3rd last fights can drop him, then it should be a snap for Geale to drop him. Whether that gives him a win, well that's another matter.

I'd expect this to be a very hard fight for both guys, as at this stage of their careers, they are very evenly matched.

This could go either way, though I'm putting my money where my mouth is and backing Geale for a close UD. :thumbsup

I'll take whatever Avatar you can throw at me. :hi:

[SexualPanda]

Look forward to this fight Choc lovers, as this will be as good as it gets for him.

I expect Geale to be the best opponent Mundine will face for the rest of his wasted career.

[sallywinder]

mundine is trained by a dinosaur. his old man has anthony spar hundreds (thousands?) of rounds between each fight. anthony ends up getting hit a lot in sparring, when there is no need to. its just that he ends up so tired.

another example is; i noticed anthony wearing jumpers and a garbage bag while sparring.....so i asked khoder if anthony needed to lose weight.."no, his weights fine, he just wants to wear it..".. at the time mundine was sparring some late ring ins. they werent even pros. both over the hill old amatures. mudine was toying with them, but they were getting through....due to his fatigue.

anthony is getting old from the way he is trained. he is never fresh and rested. he doesnt work on tactics, new skills, etc. its just hard-slog-sparring. he has had some good input from some good trainers, but they were just pissing in the wind. anthony is trained by a dinosaur. and hes too stupid to know or see any better.

Having our old man train you is seldom a good idea , yea it works for some but the majority of times its doomed to fail @ world class level .

Anthony's purple patch of form IMO was when he fought Kessler,Green and Soliman when Roy Jones smr and his team were working with him.Probably should have ditched his old man and gone to America to train with them.Would be hard to do that to your father though.

Didn't want to start a new thread but I stumbled across an article from 2002 about Fenech wanting a bout between Green and Mundine. Here is his quote:

"Fenech has offered Mundine $250,000 to fight Green but Team Mundine says it can earn more money staging its own bouts."

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

It's funny looking back on it now, given Mundine reaped $5 million from the fight in 2006, 4 years later.

The funnier thing is, Green recieved a bloody fortune also... Fenech recieved NADA... yet still pursued his payment... or share of payment later on. Go Figure.

Great call!

Didn't Fenech go to the States for Tyson v McBride? - don't think that was worth it.

[flamengo]

Its reported as being along those lines. Green spat it with Fenech around the time.

Only 6 months ago.. or less, other news suggested Fenech was still chasing 'compensation' for lost earnings..... May have been a counter claim??

[flamengo]

....I think efforts were also inplace to have Tyson come to Australia.... to have Tyson fight in other countries... to have Tyson fight other notables.. to have Tyson make a quick fortune in numerous ways...

Fenech has his fingers in more pies than a baker.

[mundinechamp]

Oh yeah, there was that 10 fight plan for Tyson over a few years or something.

I guess Fenech hasn't really been an elite trainer.

[Francis75]

Fenech has done absolutely nothing as a trainer. He is nothing but a cheerleader in the corner. He is Australia'a version of Joel Judah.

[Kegsy]

If Fenech does get in Geale's corner vs Mundine it would make the fight just that little bit more interesting.

I think he offers just a little more than Joel Judah, who is possibly the most useless waste of space I have ever seen who I understand didn't even come from a boxing b/g. But i get your point.

Fenech just needs to calm the F%*$ down when he's delivering instructions.

He is a average to good boxer....but more of a puncher boxer....likes to mix it up.

He has only 1 loss to the current WBO title holder.....35 fights 24 ko's.....fighting regional belts like the PABA and is up for a WBF MW title in a few weeks.

Ranked aust nmber 1 LMW.....Maybe top 50 in the world

This will be the best all Aussie fight Mundine has had in a very long time,if not his toughest,I love Danny Geale and i think that he has a great chance against Mundine..Mundine should b chasing titles now,lets hope Geale shuts him up..

Hi Fatcity,

Daniel "The Rock" Dawson has been on the boxing scene for a relatively short time in Australia.
Daniel has been a massive draw card on kick boxing fight nights in the eastern states and overseas for many years preceding professional boxing.
I have had the chance to see him fight in knockout kickboxing tournanents in Melbourne, very exciting stuff. When you saw his name on a fight night flyer you knew it was quality.

Check out his bio.:good

Mundine will beat Geale by several rounds......."hit and run" should be Mundines new name.

Geales team maybe now asking for more money......or a change of date......no way Mundine is scared of Geale.......If Mundine jumped in the ring with Kess and Green hes not scared of Geale. :deal

he ran from a second fight with kess and did a lot of running in the first fight and he has definitely slipped form wise since then.

It was Anton Sevsek from Boxrec that took it down because no contract had been signed, I'll put it back up when I get the bout agreements

[ajay11]

Funny how so many here suggest that Mundine is past his best when it could be said that he has only been doing as much as required against "good" oposition.

Sure he isn't fighting the elite but the current champs have been picking and choosing their own challengers without giving him a go so taking on the undefeated IBO champ is the best option.

At the exact same age Joe Calzaghe was coming off a string of defences against guys that weren't much better than Mundine's last five opponents.

Calzaghe's bouts v Tocker Pudwill, Byron Mitchell, Mger Mkrtchyan, Kabary Salem, Mario Veit and Evens Ashira weren't works of art. I'm sure there were many boxing fans throughout the world that believed he was past his best and didn't have his best fights in front of him.

Mundine will dominate Geale, especially if Geale overworks his left to the body exposing himself to Choc's short, sharp right hand. It's frustrating waiting for Choc to get the call up to a title fight but I'll be supporting him 100% unless he fights Green after Geale.

[SexualPanda]

This is nuthugging at it's finest.

Don't you DARE ever mention Calzaghe's name alongside Mundine's again. Mundine's last SEVEN opponents have been nothing short of LAUGHABLE - even his biggest nuthuggers can see that (your not including Clavero, a guy who had previously lost 5 of his last 7 fights prior??).

And your right he won't be fighting Green after Geale, . . it will be most likely be against a couple of bums alongside the calibre of Rico Chong Nee, to get used to the weight at 175.

I think u missed Ajay';s main point. That being, Calzaghe didnt look good winning against guy's he knew he could beat, but he stepped up when the opposition got tougher. Ajay believe's the same thing is happenning here with Mundine. He could be right.

ha ha ha ha ajay....very funny mate, keep it up!

[WhataRock]

At the exact same age Joe Calzaghe was coming off a string of defences against guys that weren't much better than Mundine's last five opponents.



Wow...what a load of shit.

[boxoncottonon]

I get the point...
Calzaghe was a lazy no hoper undefeated world champion fighting bums cause he felt like it and only doing as much as he needed to. He had everything to lose...everything at that time. Poor comparison. why dont you mention his last 5 oponents at the same time as Mundines. Laughable.
And Mundine is destined to fight bums for the rest of his career so why do more than needed...he might get tired.
Hey in your comparison did you mention Calzaghe was the WBO world champ at that time and Mundine at the same age has nothing....who has got everything to lose and who has nothing to lose at the same age.
Mundine needs to fight the big fights....or he is only as good as his last fight. And he is fast becoming a laughing stock IMO.
The boxing lovers want Mundine to take on the big fights and win...why do the huggers continually apologise for his piss poor management and his piss poor performances?

To all the huggers...the biased apolegitic view does not wash.....bang the drum when he has truly proven himself.

I understand his point. Just a terrible terrible comparison.

And NO I do NOT think Mundine can step it up against elite competition. Calzaghe was a freak of nature and showed absolutely NO signs of being in decline throughout the latter stages of career, and his skills and stamina were as good as they ever were against Roy Jones - his last fight.

Mundine has shown numerous signs of being in decline. I would say since the Hamdan fight he has looked very very ordinary. And don't say he doesn't get himself up for fights he knows he's going to win. If you watch him now compared to against Green 1, he is a completely different fighter. His defence was impeccable a few of years ago (I used to think only Mayweather rivalled his defensive skills). Now he gets tagged a lot from "E" grade fighters, fights flat footed a lot of the time, and now with the drop in weight couldn't put his grandma on the canvas.

I think if you hatters pay attention you will find most Mundine supporters want him to take on the big fights but when questioned they think Mundine is top 4 to 7 in the world....that means he dont need to fight the best....just needs to keep winning and beat a few top 15s and one contender each year.

That will be enough to win a title either vacant or paper when the right fight comes along.

We are happy for the man to keep on fighting and keep on mouthing off....fact is in my mind he was top 4 SMW and after beating Geale he will be top 4 MW.

He will get a better MW title in a vacant fight against a real top 10 MW.

He will then go to other divisions and fight Green and do other things you haters dont like.

If you dont like him or dont want to talk about him dont post in his threads :deal

[one in a million]

We are happy for the man to keep on fighting and keep on mouthing off....









We, Who is we? Is mundine still scheduled to fight Sturm?

I thought this was Geales thread...

Mundine is ripe for the picking and Geale has the tools to do it and step onto the world stage.
Geale-points.

Wow...what a load of shit.Yes.
Although I've been critical of Joe's opposition earlier on in his career, his competition since turning champ has always been better than guys Mundine has voluntarity took on (aside from Green and maybe Soliman in the 2nd fight).

[ashley]

Yes.
