Daniel Geale Vs Anthony Mundine for the IBO MW Title. May 27th in Brisbane

[daz52]

Well not really telling anyone anything new but it's basically been made official.

I for one can say I'm looking forward to it. Mundine finally stepping it up (I know its not Kelly Pavlik but its not Daniel Pablo Zamora Nieva or Jose Alberto Clavero either is it) and its definitely Daniel Geales hardest test. If he really does want to fight a guy like Abraham we would want to defintely get through a guy like Mundine first.

Anthony is 33 and his brithday is May 21st, so he will enter the ring as a 34 year old. Geale is 28, probably just entering his athletic prime. Will make a prediction close to the fight.

[stiflers mum]

credit to mundine.fighting a good undefeated fighter instead of another bum.hopefully for his fans Teke and Ashley it means he is making a serious attempt to acheive something at MW.

Any prediction on the fight? Or early thoughts?

[stiflers mum]

Any prediction on the fight? Or early thoughts?
mundine should win by a wide UD.but im predicting an upset geale KO in round 10.call it a gut feeling call it just hate mundine.call it just want to see teke cry.but i think something out of the ordinary will happen in this fight.again i attack mundine and his choice of opponents but this is a step up and i give both credit for making this fight.

[Rise Above]

As much as I'd love to see Geale win, I just dont think he has the power to bother Mundine.

Mundine by UD.

[T.C.W]

good fight

[Sox]

Geale UD, 116-112 or there-abouts.
I think I have an avatar bet with Teke. :hi:

Geales gonna pull out a can o' woop ass. :deal

[teke]

Another tomato can fight for Mundine, when will he learn :-(

[pecks]

You know as well as I do that Mundine will handle Geale in similar fashion to how he's handles his past few opponents.

However, it's a good risk/reward fight for Mundine, as I believe Geale poses not a whole lot more risk than guys like Taylor, Neivis, etc, yet Mundine will gain some sort of respect for it.

[BIG FELLA]

Taylor is a washed up Welterweight crackhead, Geale is a Commenwealth gold medalist and undefeated pro. Sound very similar dont they .

Some real smart people on here.

[Phil Austin]

Coming up for the fight Marcus?

Some real smart people on here.
Not saying they are very similar, just that I don't think Mundine will have much more of a harder time than he had with guys like Taylor, Hamden, etc.

Geale has fought nobody yet. It's easy enough to keep your losses to 0 when you continue to fight nobodies too.

Unlike you, I'm basing my prediction and outcome of the fight from what I've seen from both fighters, and even though Mundine seems past it a bit, he should still be too much for a novice, solid domestic fighter like Geale.

[one in a million]

Will be nice and interesting to see the outcome.

I have never really googled Mundines name until now-[Only registered and activated users can see links] and redneckmundine, also a wee bit interesting...was surprised that something actually came up.

[one in a million]

Thought I better try redneckdanielgeale too just incase someone screams the racist thingymebobber :good

[one in a million]

:hi:

[T.C.W]

I will be there it is on my birthday, A nice present for me on my birthday, a good match up, I think mundine will win.

[one in a million]

You will be there, where?

It is the day I get my hair done, what a coincidence.

[ashley]

Mundine by 4 rounds.

On another note maybe we should have a brissy ESB gathering and see the fight as a group????????????

Thoughts?

[one in a million]

Angelo dicarlo wants me to pay, jamie myer doesn't answer my calls...if it is at another venue I may find a way to be there. But who am I to warrant a ESB view, more important things to worry about than the 'I AM IN' crowd of Brisbane!

Will ptobably have my hands full on the day but would like to organise meeting up with you guys at the venue. :good

One in a Mill - the promoter of record will be Khoder Nasser; not sure what this has to do with Jamie and Angelo?

[one in a million]

Have a great night Phillip & all the best to Daniel...

Yep...might start a whos going to the Mundine VS Geale fight in Brizzy


Would be great to splash out on a table...thoughts?

[ashley]

Is this on yet....I mean is it official?

Also what venue is it on at?

Brissy is a strange choice......anyway they should get 7,000 to 10,000 at the fight.

ESB table sounds good.

[daz52]

Dont think they do tables at Mundine fights

[ashley]

Dont think they do tables at Mundine fights

:patsch.....anyway what venue?

[flamengo]

:patsch.....anyway what venue?

Cant find anything relating to the venue.... If Khodder is doing the promotion, then be expectant of nothing better than a High School Hall.

Why the hell is this bout in QLD for anyway?????? Geales team should have dictated every part of this promotion, from locality to price of beer.
THe fight should have been staged in Tassie for a start. Everything Marcus says, suggests Geale would draw a great crowd. I wonder if fan based reprisals have scared Team Khodder away? Khodder is a maggot.

Hopefully we find out the exact location soon. Will be there with ya Ash.

[RedCornerPromotions]

There's only two options

Brisbane Convention Centre

or

The new Tennis Centre - is it called Pat Rafter something?

My money is on the Tennis joint

[Phil Austin]

Price of venue would be a consideration - they had looked at a venue down in Tassie previously and the price for the joint was astounding

[flamengo]

Hang on!!!!! Isn't Caesars Palace in Brisvegas????????

[flamengo]

So... its better to 1/2- 3/4 fill a venue in Brisbane????

Promoted accordingly in Tassie, you'd have to imagine 12,000-15,000 pretty easily????

Have I had too many bourbans to speculate those figures???

That, and they couldn't find a tent big enough.

The Tennis Centre is near me and I've always thought it would make a good venue for a boxing event. Let's hope it gets considered.

[ashley]

How many seats do thet have.....15,000?

It would be a great place for a fight

[sambo1987]

Not sure hey, nice stadium though, just seems like an ideal place to have some fights.

[sambo1987]

Actually a quick search on the net informs me the Tennyson Tennis Centre can hold 7000 in the centre court stadium. Whether a boxing event would allow for more (ringside tables, etc) or 7000 could just be the max number for safety reasons. Not bad though..

[Phil Austin]

Never seen tables at a Mundine show...

[ashley]

One would have to think this fight would get more than 7000 people?

Mundine gets 4000 to 5000 for argies......then again does Geale have a following in Brisbane....or will it be more people turning up to see Mundine get beaten because of Geales 21 - 0 record and IBO title.

[Marcus]

fuck Mundine looks old and dead :p

Anthony Mundine is talking up his chances of beating Tasmania's Daniel Geale when the pair meet in the ring for the first time.
Geale, 28, is the IBO world middleweight title holder.
He is expected to fight Mundine for the title in Brisbane in late May or early June.
Mundine, who is in Hobart for a Victorian bushfire fundraiser, says he will be too good for Geale.
"He's a good fighter but these boys can't beat me. No matter who it is they can't beat me," he said.
"I think he's going to have a good future but, as long as I'm in the division, I'm getting ready to clean everybody's house out, you know what I mean."


:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Mundine has been mouthy in tassie!!

EVER-CONFIDENT Anthony Mundine pulls no punches about who will reign supreme in his bout with Daniel Geale.
The 33-year-old former rugby league star touched down in Hobart yesterday, ahead of his appearance alongside Melbourne underworld figure Mick Gatto last night. The pair were guest speakers at a benefit for the Red Cross Victorian bushfire appeal at Hobart Function and Conference Centre.
Earlier this week Geale and former coach Greame George declared Mundine was ripe for the picking but yesterday the outspoken Mundine played down the Tasmanian's chances.
Despite Geale -- the IBO world middleweight champion -- being undefeated in 21 fights (including 13 wins by knockout), Mundine declared he was still the best in the business.
After nutting out the final details, Geale and Mundine will meet in Brisbane on May 27.
"He is a good fighter, but these boys can't beat me. It doesn't matter who it is, they can't beat me," Mundine said.
"I think he is going to have a good future but now I'm in his division I'm getting ready to beat everyone.
"A lot of people have talked before, and have not delivered.
"But that's something I do do. I talk and I deliver, and I will deliver once again.
"I will take his belt, that's part of the middleweight division and I want to unify the whole division and be undisputed champion. This is the first fight and first belt for that quest."
Well known for his reputation outside the ring over his controversial statements and taunting of opponents, Mundine acknowledged he would not be taking the 2002 Commonwealth Games gold medallist lightly.
But with his own record standing at 35 wins (23 KO) and three losses, he is confident he can be the first to blemish Geale's perfect record.
"He will be defeated, that's no doubt. I am the man, and he knows what he is in for.
"All these fighters, they are fans of me. They want to be like me, the way I fight, the way I conduct myself in and out of the ring and it's going to be a pleasure for him to be in the ring with me.
"But I can't take away the fact he is a champion and he is undefeated and I have to give him that respect."

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

[teke]

You're kidding Geale is 28 :admin

Fuck he's an old cunt aswell.

[sallywinder]

I'm getting ready to clean everybody's house out, you know what I mean."

yeah, looking for somewhere to hide.....

[the beaver]

Why does Mundine always wear those silly "Andy Caps"

[ashley]

Dont you just love reading the Mundine press releases.

You could almost script it yourself and you would be close.

Maybe next fight we should have a mundine press release script comp and see who gets close to his yabble.

[smellmyfinger]

Why does Mundine always wear those silly "Andy Caps"

Its called fashion, u should learn some. Just because he's 30 years too late doesnt matter, it was in once.:think

I dont know hey, I would assume it would get some good numbers, but wouldnt have a clue how many..

Still think it would be a killer venue, mainly because it's stumbling distance home :beer

Mundine's next bout may be Aussie swansong
By Laine Clark

March 31, 2009 12:00am



OUTSPOKEN former world champion Anthony Mundine says his next fight could be his last in Australia, casting doubt over a re-match with Danny Green.

Mundine (35 wins, 3 losses) announced today he would take on underrated IBO middleweight champion Daniel Geale (21-0) in his first fight in Brisbane on May 27. But he also cast his eye further into the future, claiming he had "big fish to fry'' in boxing.

And Green was "not a priority''. The outspoken Mundine said he would concentrate on the likes of world champions Felix Sturm (WBA), Kelly Pavlik (WBC, WBO) and Arthur Abraham (IBF) after "disposing'' of former Olympian Geale.

"It's going to an historic night - it's going to be my third world title and this might be my last fight in Australia,'' Mundine said of the upcoming bout. "Because after this there is nothing but big fish to fry. I am willing to travel overseas, take a pay cut, just to show the people what I can do, who I am.''

Mundine said his management were already on the verge of securing a "big, major fight''.

"After I win this title, which I will, all I want is champions,'' he said. "I don't want to mess around with contenders, I just want champions. Whether it's Pavlik, whether it's Abraham, whether it's Sturm - give me one of them.''

After Green ended his 11-month retirement, it was believed his re-match with Mundine would be held early next year. Mundine enjoyed a unanimous points victory over Green at super middleweight in Sydney three years ago.

But Mundine all but dismissed taking on Green again, saying he would only consider a re-match if there was an offer that made him "rub his hands together''.

"He's not a priority,'' Mundine said. "My goal is to become the undisputed middleweight champion of the world. Unless they give me a figure that will make me rub my hands together then scratch his name off.

"Believe it or not, money doesn't inspire me. What inspires me is my goals and my dreams. But I've been there and done that (with Green), so the only thing that is going to inspire me for that fight is the money - at the end of the day this is a business.''

Mundine was also irked that Green had demanded a re-match be held in Perth. "I don't know why he is dictating terms because I am the one that whipped his arse last time,'' he said. "I am the one he built his name off. So for him to say all these things is outlandish.

"But he knows who he has to see to make money.''

Mundine said he would be focussing on big name bouts in the future because he was nearing the height of his powers. "I can't see anyone beating me in the next four, five years in the middleweight division,'' he said.

Sydney-based Tasmanian Geale is a 2002 Commonwealth Games gold medallist.

[ashley]

I love the Mundine press release....you know hes going to do all of the following 5 things

1. Say hes the best in the division
2. He will unify the division
3. Contradict himself
4. Talk about the Danny Green rematch
5. Talk about his other world titles

You gotta love it

[Francis75]

Mundine said his management were already on the verge of securing a "big, major fight''.

How many years now has Anthony been spewing out this line. 3, 4, 5 ?

[ashley]

HAHA....Mundine and Geale just on ch9 news talking about the upcoming fight.....well Mundine was talking anyway.

He said one of his best lines ever....."In 20 or 30 years time people are only going to be talking about 1 person....and thats the man" :rofl

[shanemfr]

..."In 20 or 30 years time people are only going to be talking about 1 person....and thats the man" :rofl

.........Mundines Australian swansong....Last chance to see Mundine???

Bloody hell, the promoters are now trying to convince the fans that this may be their last chance to see Mundine get KO'd on Australian soil, just to sell more tickets.

[COULDHAVEBEEN]

.........Mundines Australian swansong....Last chance to see Mundine???

Hah! That's what Glen Wheatley keeps telling us about John Farnham...and yes he's just about to make another comeback!

Mundine aint goin' anywhere. He'll be in a ring at Subiaco oval in the not too distant future, be assured of that.

Looking forward to the Mundine/Green teams, doing the R.S.L circuits in years to come. Ian Turpie should be ring announcer.

[sambo1987]

Any idea how much tickets to a mundine promotion will set you back? We dont get alot of boxing in ol' brisbane town so I'd be half interested to go see this one live.

At a guess $60 to $250.....I am think of going as well :good

[Phil Austin]

Sambo - keep an eye on boxrecs schedule, you might be suprised at how much boxing goes on here! Ace Boxing/Red Corner shows are a must and Rob Liguer has a show on the 17th. Steve Dellar has started promoting again and usually has his shows to a packed house at the Irish Club.
Check out Tiketeks website Monday the prices should be on there

lol lol lol

Ahh...Ian Turpie. Was reduced to the club circuit doing promos and give aways. You know he is at the end of the road when he appears on your box doing an ad for a life insurance. I just hope he takes his own advice...you seen him lately? death warmed up ol Ian. lol

[Phil Austin]

No worries Sambo - Red Corner might have a head like a dropped meat pie, but his fight nights are absolutely brilliant

[Francis75]

Credit to Geale and Mundine for finally stepping up and fighting each other rather than fighting journeyman like they have done in recent years.I will be very surprised if Mundine doesn't win a comfortable UD, something like 116-112. Imo Geale doesn't have the power, pressure, experience, chin to seriously be able to defeat Mundine. I would much rather have seen Mundine fight an established fighter at world level such as Sturm, but i will settle for a Geale matchup.

[ajay11]

One thing that stands out with Geale's record is that he has never fought anyone with a losing record.

Very rare.
