Sanctioning

[bigred83]

Hey guys, just so you know, this isnt exactly a mundine bashing thread, more of a curiosity thing.
im curious to know how a fight between mundine and wood can be legally sanctioned.
my reasons for asking are as follows
Mundine - Wood
* total fights 43 - 11
* total rounds 342 - 35
* title fights 23 - 0
* "World TitleFights" 11 - 0
* Fights with World Level Fighters(debateable i know) 10/15 - 1/2

so how can a fight like this be sanctioned? im sure if it wasnt part of the contendor and it wasnt mundine it would never happen.

Well wood is going ok with some good wins. It isn't hat bad compared to what does get sanctioned. Wood has shown he may just have some ability and I guess we will find out. He beat oganov and kariz so he has arguably earn't the right to fight mundine, who it must be noted is not currently a world title holder and is really only a top domestic fighter.

Plus Mundine hasn't shown in any of his recent fights that he would possess the power to cause wood and serious harm.

Yea good points mate. wood does seem to have a bit of go in him, and i wish him all the best in the fight. would love to see an upset.
i just wonder if it would have been sanctioned if it were say green v oh i dunno, brad pitt or daniel ammann
or geale v mwetupunga, shaick, or katsidis v brett smith, ryan langham, or vic v either of the 2 active bantams?????
as i said, im not here to bash anyone, just a little curious
