2 has beens trying to make some money.

Not a huge fan of boxing or either guy. I don't mind Green but don't love him either. Mundine is one of the biggest flogs in Australia though so hoping he gets KO'd pretty quick.

Mundine is very smart, he gets everyone talking abt the fight, people pay to see him lose, he dont care $60 is $60.
He is actually a decent dude outside the spotlight by all reports.

I hate/hated Mundine like everyone else, amt of crap he talks, you guys don't hoenstly believe he believes all that??


Anyway he is there to sell the fight to get a big pay day on way out. Smart.

I used to love Greeny.

But does anyone actually swallow the crap he serving up after 2006 fight with Mundine?
He claims he was a skeleton had to starve to make weight and was dehydrated and a shell of himself.

Do people realise at the time all his world title fights (interm) were at super middle weight? It was his preferred weight back then, he thought his punching power was best suited at super middle.
Then he got destroyed by Mundine, completely outboxed,and then never fought at that weight again.

He created Danny weight fighting for titles and catch weights.

Stipe Drews - watch that fight what a joke the guy got warned for running away and not fighting, in a world title fight come on!! He was laughing at the end of the fight, then he retired the next day.
Briggs - Dont go there.

RJJ yep well done on that.
Tarver - altho he got smashed atleast he had balls to get these fights.

So now he will hv 10kgs on Mundine tonight, it should be illegal.

What a joke.

"Mundine is very smart"

I stopped reading there.

3kgs acutally??

hahah u dont know boxing I take it.

Thats ok, ill explain.

They weigh in 36hrs prior to fight Danny weighs 82.9kgs (in his jocks), Mundine 76.9kgs (in his baggy shorts)
Danny was fasting/wearing plastic bags in suana's etc.
He will put on 7-9kgskgs before the fight starts. 4kgs just in water weight no doubt.
He wouldnt of had a glass of water 24hrs before weight in.

Mundine will come in 79kgs as he hasnt needed to fast.

They will be close to 10kgs difference by time the bells goes.

Anon's right. The diet and routine of boxers (and most fighters) pre fight/weigh in is ridiculous. The amount of weight they lose for weigh in and then put on in the 24hrs before the fight is crazy.

Who cares, hope they knock one another out, now that be a good result. I'll be watching the double header of basketball, now that's worth watching. :)

Yes the scry thing can be that 10kg dfference that culd make the difference between winning and getting killed.

Ideally Mundine gets knocked out to the point he can't talk anymore. He says a lot of annoying 'wannabe controversial' stuff. But all in all good for a bet, but this is a pointless bout, neither has a future in the sport just a pay day tonight.

Every good contest needs a villain, Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker, Joker to Batman, it sells the tickets. Otherwise who would watch the fight, everyone wants Green to win, so Mundine has fired up the controversy. Surest way to do that is fire up the race card and either the flag or national anthem.
Talk all you want, both are laughing all the way to the bank. And Mundine has been an amazing athlete, who knows what he could have been if he had concentrated on boxing instead of Rugby League from day one. Could have been one of Australia's greatest fighters.
People on this forum rave on about Delly's toughness, but he's got a bit of mongrel in him and Americans can say it's dirty. I think it's better a sportsman has that killer instinct and self belief, end of the day who cares what mundine says, it'll be forgotten in a few weeks.
Hopefully it's a good fight and entertaining.

And???

Green wins in a split.

Was it a fair decision? A lot of people saying it was controversial

Didn't see the fight due to the basketball, but yeah lots saying it was controversial. Some expert comments I read though made it seem pretty 50/50 and like it could have gone either way.

I'm not sure how many people who think its controversial are really into and knowledgeable on boxing. From some of what I read it sounds like Mundine finished better, but green was pretty good early/in the middle. I think lots of the controversial comments may be from people who aren't big boxing fans and look at the end and think 'yeah mundine won' based on him being better at the end, but ignore the points Green may have gotten earlier in the fight... if that makes sense.

that's my theory anyway lol

Have a look at about the 1min mark. Mundine cheap shots Green and rocks him solid. 1 point deducted too. Classic Green battles the full fight out and gets the W. How a ref could have a 8 point spread is beyond me.

Mundane lost, who cares how it happened. Maybe now he can drift off into obscurity and we won't have to listen to any more of his crap in the public domain.

Interesting hear on ABC radio that Corbin Middlemas said that the ref had got it wrong at that point. He should have called stop when they were in a clinch, he didn't and Mundine continued to fight. Green was concussed CH seemed to think.

Maybe the ref was a former NBL ref ;)

News article said the ref wanted to end the fight in the first, that's how bad green was after the cheap shot.

To last 9 more rounds is amazing. Mundine can whine all he wants but he should have been dq'd

The overall standard was poor, befitting of two fairly non-technical fighters in their 40s. Plenty of cheap shots, and obviously one of Mundine's landed.

But I thought the only certainty based on the fight was that Green didn't win. Mundine didn't dominate him, and in the end it was probably his own conservative style that prevented a clear victory.

As for all the Mundine hate, even though there are plenty of objective reasons to dislike him, there's a certain section of Mundine haters/Green fans who are just so transparently ugly and underhanded in their hatred that I can't get on board with it. So when he fights I (somewhat reluctantly) hope he wins just to shut them up.
