Ridiculous really, considering the WBA International MW belt was what apparently made his fight with Medley so important :lol:
I would have thought holding that belt would have made him more desirable as an opponent to the top 5 of the WBA and other feds, but no, he's vacated it to avoid having to fight Hasbeen and Elvira :yep

You wouldn't believe it but just saw Garth "In the Hood" Wood walking down Pitt St at lunch, didn't realise it until he actually walked past.

You are right, the only certainty is that it will be another move designed to force "the ghost" to give the world what it wants - a mundine vs pavlik shootout.

Next to no speculation in the media (or the Net) about who Mundine's next opponent's likely to be - feeling from that is it's unlikely to be a name of much note.

Stop this nonsense please. We all know the script by now. Anthony will be fighting some nobody with a respectable record on paper to fool the dumb, something like 21-5-2 (12 ko), unfortunately the guy will have fought his whole career somewhere like Venezuela and never beaten anyone with a winning record. Whenever this fighter had stepped up to c and d level opposition he has been stopped.
Do any of Mundine's fans on here have the cheek to say this won't happen.

I'm pretty sure mundines next opponent has had an ibo title fight at light middle (the belt choc by all rights should be wearing now) call that a clue, i'm sure more will surface

Considering the distain which Mundine treated the IBO with in recent times I for one would be extremely surprised if they accepted any sort of challenge for one of their belts.
I'm leaning towards a no name of South American extraction with roughly 25-4-2 record or thereabouts.
Why?
Because he's said it all before, he's done it all before and he'll do it all again.
And the dwindling fan base will swallow it all again!

True. At this stage of his career it's important he has the legs to go 12, the difference between a 100% choc was evident in the medley fight in terms of movement and cutting off the ring. When compared with the falliga fight in which choc's hindrance allowed falliga more running room.
In other words, I don't have a fucking clue about anything except cat pictures.
Creepy Puppet :hi:, for someone that has me on ignore you seem to be able to see a lot of my posts :rofl. For someone that hates mundine you talk about him a great deal :rofl. Are you going to make any significant post on the subject of boxing before you hit 20k posts?
And this is exactly why you are treated with contempt.

before the fight is officially announced is a no no.

Francis75 the opponent Choc mentioned 3 days ago to me is a very talented fighter. The Mundine camp and family were both happy with his last performance. As this was our first fight together I think he boxed well but after watching the replay we both agreed there was so much more he could of done. Next fight will see a more aggressive Anthony Mundine. So maybe you might be better to save your money. I will let you know how it goes.

I really hope so BUT i seriously doubt it. Has this " very talented fighter" ever beaten anybody ? does he fight in a lower weight class to Anthony ? Is he in his prime or years past it ? I guess we will find out soon enough. I like Anthony and will support him when/if he fights top level opposition. Unfortunately he continually fights a poor level of opposition.

I guess you would say Geale and Medley are talented fighters however Medley was out of his ideal weight class....however they are not "VERY TALENTED FIGHTERS".....are they :huh

As this was our first fight together I think he boxed well but after watching the replay we both agreed there was so much more he could of done. Next fight will see a more aggressive Anthony Mundine. So maybe you might be better to save your money. I will let you know how it goes.
I thought he boxed very well against medley as I've said many times before his combination punching and general work rate were great. If he'd got medley out of there after he doubled him over it would have been better but I can't see many people at middle out boxing "the man" judging by the medley scrap.

As good enough to fight for the WBA international belt.
I think it's weird how in the various aussie forum "bitchfests" going on in the seemingly small boxing community that the people claiming to be doing the most good for the sport in terms of distribution paid or not are so very quick to discredit any aussie fighter that mundine happens to paste inside the ring. There are various domestic fighters I have a disdain for e.g. froch but I still give him some credit, but the mundine witch hunt conducted by the guys so seemingly active in the australian boxing world is a massive contradiction and gets more laughable with each stupid post. No one gives boxing more exposure in your country than "the man", time to start supporting him :bbb

Thanks for clearing up the FACT that Medley was a shit opponent for Mundine to be fighting. Medley is NOT a good fighter on the world scene, infact he is quite shit. The 3 times he has fought world level opponents he has been thoroughly embarrassed hasn't he.

There are so many people bagging Anthony they let both the judges terrible scorecard and the referees blindness of a knock down go without mention. Also how proud are all you Mundine baggers of Danny Green defending his cruiser title against middleweight Manny Siaca. Manny probably needs the money he hasnt fought for 12 months. Hes also been reported to be punching to hard for Peter Kariuki. A super Middle. Now thats frightening.

Im no Green fan either Balmain with his paper belt & poor defences against the likes of Siaca...even the blind man knows that.
Mundine's choice of opposition has been appalling...fighting only South American cabbies chucked in with some very fringe Aussie contenders that only score wins mainly against guys with sub .500 records.
Look at Rob Medley for example....Medley's best wins are Kaizer Mabuza(natural Junior Welter) & Tui Leveni (natural welterweight).:lol:
Mundine should have only even considered Medley as a supporting act on his undercard.:yep

Mundine seems to be in the business of excuses, not boxing.
Ottke loss - had the flu, no sparring partners.
Echols win - carried a broken rib into the fight.
Siaca loss - carried badly sprained ankle into fight.
Kessler rematch - decided he was better suited to fight at MW.
Geale rematch - decided he was better suited to fight at LMW.
Medley fight at LMW - demanded own judges and ref for fight, didn't get his way, decided fight would be at MW instead.
Not getting Pavlik/Sturm etc for next fight - recovering from hip operation.
:lol:
I can't believe there are still people who believe this guy, he's been conning you all since he lost to Kessler :nut

Kegsy I agree with what you are saying. Yes in the past he has fought some well below standard guys. I understand Khoders reasoning of staying active while waiting for something big to happen. It has been well overdue so I for one are happy on what has been mapped out for his immediate future. And IBM we all know why your boy Danny doesnt go round claiming hes the best dont we.
IrnBruMan
03-23-2010, 11:03 PM
balmain, if one of you pro-Mundine posters would at least admit that he's been cruising on easybeats because his eyesight isn't 100% since his eye infection and/or that his mobility hasn't been great of late due to his hip injury, I would have some respect. But to continually believe, or claim you believe, his continual line of BS that he's taking stay busy fights 'while waiting for something big to happen' indicates to me that you guys are all taken hook, line and sinker by said BS.
'Something big' was when he was Kessler's mandatory but he ran down to MW to avoid that. Then he ran down to LMW to avoid a rematch with Geale.
Can you explain why he avoided a rematch with Kessler by vacating his title and moving down to MW, given he was calling him out for 2 years and it was in defence of his WBA SMW title?
Can you explain why he chose to move down to LMW to fight Medley rather than rematch Geale? Surely a rematch would take him one close closer to a fight with one of the world MW champs?
Exactly what 'big things' did those 2 actions bring closer?
Also, why doesn't Green go around saying he's the best, balmain?

Mate you say Khoder wants him to stay active but at the end of the day there are two things wrong with that.
1. Fine he can stay active but hes been doing it against absolute shit opposition. Theres no reason why Anthony cant fight decent fighters every time out. People give the old excuse of : you cant fight a Pavlik or Kessler every time but that's not the point. Just because you cant fight bigger names fighters it doesnt mean you cant fight good fighters. Just becuase you cant get Pavlik it doesnt mean you fight Jose Alberto Clavero or Allejandro Gustovo Falliga! Why cant Anthony fights guys that while they arent huge names they are still good fighters ranked legitimately in the Top 10 - 15?
2. Look at all of Anthonys injuries. Eye injuy, bicep tear, groin problem, hip problem. Maybe if Anthony would just take 5 or 6 months off from fighting he wouldnt have to be constantly in training and then his body could have a chance to heal. Becuase Khoder is so desperate for Anthony to be active he has to train through injury and they never get better, only gradually worst. As a result his body and his performances gradually decline and suffer.
Point is Anthony isnt getting any younger now is he. And he sure as hell isnt getting better fight by fight any more either. He should first give his body PROPER chance to FULLY heal from all injuries. Then step it up right away and beginning fighting Sturms and Pavliks. Time is running out or according to some has already ran out. He has pretty much had 3 years of meaningless fights no wonder no one is interested anymore.

In fact, at middleweight he'd probably still scare mundine out of fighting.

I wouldn't question your credentials or your credibility Flash - your record speaks for itself. But I would question your opinion regarding Medley and him being a perfect fight for Mundine.
What did Mundine get from that bout other than a payday and another day at the office?
Granted a fairly meaningful fight was in the making before his recovery from surgery curtailed it, but Mundine will be 35 very shortly and still appears to be treading the easy path that leads nowhere.

The WBA super middleweight title reigns and his stint as ibo middleweight champion contrast with the supposed mediocrity you cast over "the man".
I don't have blind faith, I just rate his opponents higher than you and I enjoy watching mundine fight whoever, the only recent fight I disliked was the falliga one. Pretty much everyone discredited medley as an opponent for choc and continue to do so this thread is full of shit about him. It was never Medley's opportunity, mundine was clearly the draw and intended to become a pioneer of the sport by becoming a champ at 154. Unfortunately it didn't happen and the WBA stepped in with a middleweight belt. Then mundine went out and beat the shit out of medley in an entertaining fashion - job done. Don't get prissy about apparent lack of respect, he's a ticket seller in the same vein as floyd.

The scorecards were not too hot that night. Danny Green has built his name from hounding "the man", siaca is the latest tactic to get a shot at mundine. A lot of attention and plans being made around an "insignificant piss ant". I guess green must be a mundine fan or something :lol:

Can you explain why he chose to move down to LMW to fight Medley rather than rematch Geale? Surely a rematch would take him one close closer to a fight with one of the world MW champs?
Exactly what 'big things' did those 2 actions bring closer?
Also, why doesn't Green go around saying he's the best, balmain?
CP :hi:
Geale was stay busy? Medley? - If anyone else had fought these guys it would be credible and much lauded. You really know zero. Kessler was coming off a loss, choc moved down beat geale - no need for a worthless rematch, geale should join the queue. Was meant to move down beat medley anyway etc etc
Green can't say he's the best whilst "the man" is still the sheriff in town.
Please stop writing your nonsense. :hi:

He's not promoted by universum anymore...and would you settle for ESB top 10 :hey

When the Medley fight was made it was at middleweight. Then both camps both agreed to fight at 154lb. Choc was confident of making the weight and 2 weeks out was doing it very easy. Then the fight was changed back to middleweight because of a problem Khoder had with the IBO. I thought as Choc was going to move to the 154lb class Rob Medley was a good test. Moving to jnr middle I think is the weight he should of fought at a long time ago. And thats coming from a trainer not a yes man on his payroll.

We were led to believe at the time Mundine chose to fight Medley, in preference to defending his middleweight title against Geale, that it was so he could 'pioneer' the lower weight division (for the light middle title)!
If the Medley fight was originally to be at middle, why didn't Mundine instead hang on to his middleweight title and fight Geale?
This makes about as much sense as some of Mundine's other career directions!

It doesn't matter really, the opportunity came for an ibo light middleweight belt and he decided to drop down to become a pioneer of the sport, that fell through so it was back to plan A. If anything it just shows medley wasn't as blindsided by the fight being at 160 as people like to make out on here.
A geale rematch wouldn't be a bad fight but he needs to earn his shot again. And if you are being honest you couldn't hand on heart say mundine has had a poor career if he retired today, in terms of boxing he has had a good career thus far.

Yeah well on the DSS show Monday night Tony Mundine said Choc is looking at both LMW and MW fights.
I for one want him to fight Golovkin at MW for the WBA regular title # 1 v # 2
However it looks like according to Tony Mundine choc could be going down to LMW....therefore becoming the pioneer :lol:...sorry mate...I cant help myself :D

Alejandro Gustavo Falliga, Rafael Sosa Pintos, Crazy Kim, Jose Alberto Clavero, Pablo Daniel Zamora Nievas, Ruben Eduardo Acosta, Rico Chong Nee, and Rashid Matumla?

I sincerely hope he embraces the pioneer moniker should he fight at 154, it irks people no end and when he wins a title there like it or not Anthony will go in the history books and the sad sack bert sugars of the future will have to eat it. :happy

Not really comparable as Geales at a much earlier stage of his career, but you know that anyway.
Even so, if he continues to fight at that level for too long, my support for him will dwindle.

I want choc to go to america and get the big fights more than anything else in boxing, but even when he fights cans so long as he entertains me I'm happy. Falliga was a shit fight and was trying to be the same as the chong nee card when geale's entrance music kicked in after mundine and falliga had come out a la danny green. But as for some of the other fights you mention you can't say they were not entertaining.

Regardless of whether it's entertaining though, I still couldn't support someone who wasn't actually taking themselves to the next level, particularly if they claimed they were going to on a weekly basis.
I guess that's also where someone like Geale differs, in that they don't make claims they rarely keep.
Maybe I'm just harder to entertain, or you and Ash are easy to entertain....

Mundine has without doubt had a 'good' career', but good careers are much easier to have than great ones.
Mundine has it in him, ability wise, to have at least a 'very good career', but only if chooses to.
Sadly, so far he has chosen not to. Classic case of a wasted talent to this point.

The nature of boxing fans makes putting someone's career in a box nigh on impossible, I could sit here and pull at threads on pacquiao's career or chad dawson's or rjj etc
Obviously good careers are easier than great careers to achieve. If you went back and watched choc's first couple of fights and then looked at what he has done in his 2nd professional sport to the present day you can't knock him really.
A naturally gifted boxer he should have more big fights but he would have nothing to be ashamed of if he left the sport today as a two weight 3 time world champ.

The good thing about choc's career is he only needs 1 defining win as he has 5 or 6 good wins/ titles already.
All choc needs is to win a full world title fight against the champ and hes there :good
It could be Sylvester.....it should have been Golovkin....how the hell Sturm kept his title is beyond me.
This 1 title fight can come in the next 2 years.....until then he will pick up another 1 or 2 regular belts.....rematch Geale and win....rematch Green and win...then call it a day :yep

Not trying to debate Mandy and Geale, was just using Geale as an example.
I like Calzaghe & Mayweather, and most fighters really.
I even like Mandys technical ability, and I don't think I've ever denied that, it's him that I don't like.
I don't only like boxers because of their ability, I have to like the person too, and Mandys portrays himself to be an utter idiotic twat, a cheat and a fraud.
Whether he is really like that is anyones guess, the media are responsible for a lot of BS, though some of the things he's stooped to, even the media can't exaggerate it.

Reckon that's the thing Flash - his media persona is not that nice, generous person.
The people who critisize Mundine, myself included, don't know him, but dislike the at times obnoxious image he paints of himself.
Yes he does, ask danny green.

I thought his level of opposition was fairly decent actually.
His first fight after the loss was against an undefeated Satrison for the WBA belt, then he fought Hausler. Granted that the other guy was nothing to cvheer about but overall a solid return. A lot better than returning against the likes of Bradley Mayo, and Matumla, etc.

They weren't as bad as Mandys, but they weren't top 10 material either from memory.
I would just have expected more after the great fight with Calzaghe.

I think Sartison was top 3 or 4 WBA as was Hausler...both guys were about 23 - 1 coming into the fight....good fighters just got bashed by Kess...Just like Froch will get his ass handed to him soon :lol:

Kessler won't stand toe to toe with Frochy Ash but he will out box him , Just .Just?! I think he'll comfortably beat him to be honest. Am thinking about splashing some large coin on him for the win, and maybe even throw a $50 or so on him to win via stoppage because it's paying $4.
I just dont think that Froch has the tools to beat him and his heart will only cause him punishment all night long.

Mate i agree, but for some reason i've got a 5% worry in the back of my head that Kessler has seen better days. That said, Froch is pretty average and how the fuck he got awarded that fight against Dirrell was a complete joke.

True, there is a bit of doubt about whether or not Kessler is on his way out.
Still, Froch is far from a Ward in terms of what he has in his tool kit, and Kessler should be able to eat up Frochs style.
Is this fight gunna be on Aussie tv?

Up until the Calzaghe fight, Kessler never fought on the inside and everyone just assumed he couldn't do it. He actually had a lot of success on the inside against Calzaghe, but Calzaghe just had his measure.
Will be interesting to see...

I see a lot of blokes on here bagging Froch and fair enough he is a dislikaeable enough bloke but don't let these personal feelings of distain cloud your judgement when it comes to predicting a winner , Froch will be going all out to end it early and he will be having a certain amount of succsess up until around stanza's 4-6 ,then kessler will prove his rehabilitation is complete and start to cruise , to a UD decision that is . Despite many people writing Kess off i still see him as the eventual winner of the SS .

Osaka Hochi ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) reports that former WBA Super Middleweight champ Anthony Mundine is being discussed as an opponent for current WBA Super Welterweight interim titleholder Nobuhiro Ishida.
Ishida won the trinket last August, defending it once in December. He and his team had hoped to get full champion Yuri Foreman in a unification bout, and rumors had circulated that the fight could be part of a super-event in China with multiple world titles bouts. That, of course, would never have happened, and Foreman is scheduled to meet with fellow Top Rank fighter Miguel Cotto on June 5.
They also add that undefeated American Austin "No Doubt" Trout, the #1 contender, has expressed interest in fighting Ishida....
Is this true?who is his next opponent????

If Choc fights and wins the now vacant middleweight title you will all say hes a fake as Sturm is the real champion. If he fights and wins the jnr middle interim title you all will say hes a fake as the cotto v Yuri Foreman winner is the real champion. So who cares who he fights. Hes getting bagged anyway. I think he should move up to cruiserweight and fight a middleweight. Nobody will bag that.

How many aussies will get a real world title shot at the top 4 belts this year? (not including VIC or John who have belts)
Answer is nobody.
The two fights you have mentioned are the BEST fights for choc :deal
How can anybody bag him if he fights these guys :huh
Lets hope he beats the number 1 contender at either weight :good

Sturm because of a conflict with his management is inactive at the moment. As Choc is not contracted with Top Rank his only chance of fighting for the jnr middle title is to force a mandatory. So the Interim title that you will bag him over would be his only chance to force the fight. The middleweight title title which is vacant is a chance but the WBA has not made a decision yet. So what is our next move?

Flash, even you would see the trash talk and dribble that comes out of his mouth for publicity. Yes, the publicity works and the fortune is the largest made by any Aussie boxer who remained 95% on home soil. But, just for once, Mundine might place his mouth to less use and actually prove a valid point by staying in a division long enough to collect a GENUINE world title... rather than running from the chance. Interim means nothing and you know it. It's a governing bodies way of stripping more money from the fighters.. nothing more. Claiming another interim title is the way to the 154 belt, but claiming an interim title and moving out of the division to higher ground is the same crap we'd expect.
What would you like us to expect?? The circus shits me, but yes, I'd like to see him pick up some creditable belt and do what most champs would.. DEFEND IT. Lets hope your input is more positive than our attitudes towards him. I'd prefer to have seen Mordey Promote him, rather than that pile of filth Nassar. Atleast Mordey had a sense of shame.

I have always been there for him but always no closer than the phone because I was not wanted there by a certain fraction. The reason I am there is because Choc told everyone he was bringing me in and that was his decision. Everything has worked out really well as everybody was happy after the fight so hopefully we can now move into deeper water together. Now you know why I always go to bat for him.

Just one question in reference to the red text.
If you can understand what Flamengo is saying, and I and many others happen to agree with him, why do you come down on anyone who bags these choices which are being made?
I mean you just said you understand what he's saying, so why do you have a problem with anyone who bags the decisions?
