Choc vs. Medley for IBO jnr middle title is now history !!

[AntonS]

Nor is it his title defence, as he relinquished.
More info to come, as soon as I have it confirmed.

[madcake]

That doesn't surprise me unfortunately, he was never going to make junior middleweight.

looks like he cant lose anymore weight

['Frilla]

i have forgotten who i was debating with about this,
he couldnt make JMW, he was struggling in MW

[Lethaleigh76]

Good stuff Anton, I think he was pushing Middleweight, let alone Junior Middle, I wouldnt be suprised if the whole fight gets called off, Maybe Medley should fight someone else for the title, Didnt know Mundine vacated the IBO Middleweight.

Had to in order for jnr middle to be sanctioned

I was told the reason the title fell apart 'cos he insisted only NSW ref & judges be used, but I suspect there is more to it.
If WBA comes to the party with Interim middleweight title, it will reveal the real reason.
Wait & see I guess.

IF the fite go's at middle it makes it a lot harder for medley

[thunderfromdownunder]

haha what a twat!
i read that article yesterday, what was he thinking

[caveman]

mundine & his bloody circus tricks.

I'm sure it was the plan all along, make Medley train for a fight at 154 and then up the weight close to fight time. Mundine knows he can get away with it because Medley is very unlikely to turn down the fight. Wouldn't surprise me if it ends up a catch weight above 160...

Mundine is a joke and a cat.

[madball1982]

It does not surprise me one bit that this happened. But at the same time it still pisses me off. He KNEW he couldn't make the weight, or surely was told by someone with half a clue that he couldn't do it.
Now the problem is that Medley SHOULD call this fight off - but he's not likely to be given as much exposure (possibly even pay) then he will for this fight. If I was Medley I would be demanding a bigger purse to take the fight. Contracts were signed for JMW, so Mundine has renigged on his agreement. Mundine also stands to lose a LOT more than Medley if the fight is to be scrapped (money), so he'd almost be forced to accept a renegotiated purse.
What a disgrace.

well said madball

that is a very interesting take Marlin!!!, and very inclined to believe you as it is something scummy "The Man" would do

[AntonS]

It's now for vacant WBA International middleweight title, which Choc previously held beating Taylor

[whyohbee]

at it again Anthony ''The Mouth'' Mundine. Speaks before he thinks, isnt capable of anything significant why do people even bother watching his rubbish fights. He hasnt had a real fight in about 15 fights now, apart from Geale. Maybe FOR ONCE he should take on someone who will challenge him and give the punters what they pay for.

[josh k]

aaarrrgh!!! bloody mundine!! this is a joke. medley is the one that suffers from this bullshit, either he misses out on a decent payday, or he get beaten (probably, but i hope not) by a bigger opponent. pull your head in mundine

[Autobarn]

mundine looked ill, drawn and miserable at 160 vs pintos, IMO. this was a bad idea. why does he do this to himself?

[caveman]

to dodge fairdinkum opponents

I think you are right caveman.

It's gone on too long to be anything else.

I wouldn't mind him fighting argie cab drivers, old men, smaller men etc if he did it without all the shite about being the best in the world. I could then just ignore him and his meaningless "career", but unfortunately his nonsense is always reported in the media. It gives boxing a bad name.

IBO, baby!

[Marlin]

Seriously, we need to stop talking about him, that would hurt him the most.

[amwsnw]

IBO should fine him heavily and Medley should get the majority of the purse....or as previously remarked, pull out of the bout altogether...bloody disgrace.

Totally agree

[Brute]

So what does the 'Contender' winner fight for? Bragging rights?

[Brute]

WBA International Middleweight Title? That's a Pay Per View main event? WTF?

[Marlin]

$25,000 and a Car
