They were talking "Boxing"......

[oztriker]

on the 2KY Sport's Breakfast show yesterday.

I had a little chat with the boys........

Somehow the subject of Mundine......Nievas......Kessler and Calzaghe came up. :yep

If I get time later, I will post an abreviated transcript of the conversation.

I know that you guys will be hanging to hear what was said. :D

(I am such a fun person)

[Dekkers]

*bump* :think

[teke]

bump :think

[PorkChopExpress]

:fart ...i mean... bump :think

[oztriker]

:fart ...i mean... bump :think

Go on........admit it.......You really want to know ...........:D

[ashley]

Go on........admit it.......You really want to know ...........:D


PLEASE.....

[oztriker]

PLEASE.....

OK....... Since you asked so nicely........Just give me a little while......I gotta put up another thread that might give you a laugh. :D

[Hmmm]

be good to hear what was said. Mudine is starting to give me the shits lately. I have no doubt in his ability but he is losing fans by avoiding strong opposition.

[oztriker]

OK........ This is the shortened version..... after an interview with a journalist on the Gold Coast discussing the fight. :deal

2KY.... "John on the phone......Good morning John.......Have your say"

OZ....."G'day fellas. I'd like to talk about this fiasco on the Gold Coast this evening."

2KY......"The Mundine fight.......Mundine is paying $1.03"

OZ....... "Yeah......He's overpriced at that....... This guy Nievas has spent more time on the canvas than Rembrandt"

2KY...... (loud laughter) "You've been thinking about that one for a while....eh John?"

OZ........ (thinking......it wasn't that funny) " Nah........it's an old boxing saying........ But I was just trying to get the message accross......that this guy Nievas......is bad....very bad.....and has no right to be in the same ring as Anthony."

2KY.... "He is a big hitter"

OZ....."It doesn't matter......He's as slow as a wet week (Background laughter).....There is no way he is gonna land one on Mundine.......Mundine's biggest problem is going to be keeping this guy upright for a few rounds"

2KY....... "So you aren't impressed with his credentials?"

OZ........ "Nah mate......It's garbage........ Anthony says that Nievas is rated in the top 15 by the WBA........ and he is now........but he wasn't untill Nasser pulled a few strings.......He's a tomato can"

2KY...... "But seriously John.......They all do it"

OZ..... "Yeah.......but not to the same extent as Mundine, and this fight is a total farce......... Mundine claims to want the big fights, but when the opportunity to fight Kessler arises......he backs away at a million miles an hour."

2KY......."What do you mean?"

OZ....... "Firstly........ I am sick to death of hearing from Mundine about Unifying the Super Middleweight Division....... He can't unify Jack you know what....... He doesn't have a real world Title...... It's a paper Title......not recognised by any other Boxing organisation......He can't Unify anything until he wins a recognised World Title. He has had the opportunity to fight Kessler for his Title twice and knocked it back."

2KY..... "Kessler....... Yes ........ a very good fighter"

OZ....... " Yep.......Kessler and Calzaghe are the top rated Super middleweights"

2KY........ "Kessler has already beaten Mundine"

OZ........ (thinking.....DUH) "Yeah........and he had a Mandatory defence against Mundine but Mundine didn't take the fight but instead gave Kessler permission to fight Marcus Beyer in a Unification bout .......The winner of that fight would then fight firstly Andrade who was rated No. 1 by the WBC....

2KY...... "The World Boxing Council."

OZ........"Yeah.......And the winner of that fight would then fight Anthony with both Titles on the line.......... I figure that was to give Mundine breathing space and a chance to fight more easybeats......... So Anthony gave up the chance firstly to fight Kessler as his Mandatory so that he could fight Sammy Soliman for an unrecognised "paper title". And then more recently deliberately forfeited his right to fight Kessler for the Unified Title so that he could fight this chump.

2KY....... "Wasn't that about money?"

OZ......... "Yeah......according to Mundine.......but if he really wanted to fight Kessler, he could have gone to a purse bid....... and now the situation is that Kessler as Unified Champion isn't required to fight his mandatory ...Mundine, for 18 months.......or if the Kessler Calzaghe fight happens......21 months..........which gives Mundine heaps more time to fight these patsy's and continue to rip off the Australian Public.

2KY...... "21 months?"

OZ....... "Yep.......There is no doubt that Mundine has talent, but he isn't prepared to take risks. I hate to admit it.....but he has been brilliantly managed"

2KY....... " I can understand him not wanting to fight Kessler, because a loss to him would mark the end of his career"

OZ........ "Maybe.......but I hate all the garbage about wanting to fight the best and then running away when he gets the chance....... Mundine has talent.......but sadly...... I don't think that we will ever get the chance to find out how much talent he has."
.................................................................................................... ........................
We continued talking but got interrupted by a News break.

I don't know how many listen to that Sports show........but I do know that probably tens of thousands of sports nuts and the commentators themselves are now awake to Mundines shenanigins........ and if they tell their friends........and their friends, tell their friends..........who knows........Mundine might actually have to look to some credible opponents.:D

[teke]

:lol::lol:

[MSTR]

Good work OZ. I am glad someone is setting it straight.

[Dekkers]

:lol: That's pretty good, you know I usually joke about this but this time i'm being completely serious when I say you came across as a bit of a frustrated/angry fan, rather than a JB1 type.

I'm not saying anything, but you know it just looked that way... a bit :D

[Dr Gonzo]

good on you oz - good to see someone ask the right questions

hope nasser the little greasy turd was listening

[jb1]

:lol: That's pretty good, you know I usually joke about this but this time i'm being completely serious when I say you came across as a bit of a frustrated/angry fan, rather than a JB1 type.

hey whats that supposed to mean i make no secret that i dislike mundine but i never lie and always acknowledge boths sides of an arguement .........and im also an avid 2ky listener
and if JB1 is cranky its cause he has a back injury which is hampering his season at the moment

:lol: Nah, it's just that there were no chair or Ottke references :hey

[Kegsy]

Well done OZ.
You told them & the nuthuggers the truth.:good

I meant to come accross that way, because people have a tendency to listen more if you don't come accross as an aggro prick.:yep

And you aren't that far off the truth anyway.:think

I don't like Mundine as a person, but that doesn't stop me respecting his ability. I like to watch good hard boxing and it bugs the shit out of me that Mundine is reluctant to test himself, and the nuthuggers fall for it.:roll:

[oztriker]

good on you oz - good to see someone ask the right questions

Supposedly....... Fox Sports monitor the radio sport's programmes, and maybe, just maybe, with a little luck, they may get in Nasser's ear and say......"enough's enough........time to step it up"

I live in hope. :good

it suprising how much sway these radio stations have - i know that on 2UE if someone calls in complaining about water/roads etc a government minister is on the line in seconds

Yeah it was sad to see this fight happen, even a rematch against Siaca would have been light years better.

It just popped into my head......... I don't know whether I heard it before years ago or what?:huh

Clearly they weren't going to believe me......so I went with the "Old Boxing saying" option.:deal

Funny thing........ I forgot to mention about all the giveaway tickets........which was what they really wanted me to talk about..... OOPS!:patsch

[oztriker]

it's funny when you're talking to someone who doesnt know shit about a subject yet they'll try to keep up by answering randomly with things they do know.

You picked up on that......eh? :good

[pecks]

Funny thing........ I forgot to mention about all the giveaway tickets........which was what they really wanted me to talk about..... OOPS!:patschSpeaking of tickets, have you thought of a way to repay me after not giving me the free Socceroo's tickets last month? :p

[oztriker]

Speaking of tickets, have you thought of a way to repay me after not giving me the free Socceroo's tickets last month? :p

Like it was my fault...... You hadn't paid your internet bill.:roll:

Next time.......You will have first right of refusal.:good
