Mundine/Wood

[diddy]

Is there any way Wood actually wins this fight? His resume is pathetic. Mundine's never come close to losing to someone of this caliber. I dont get why the betting line is only -1000. Wood's last win was over a guy who was 13-9.

[belta53]

I think Wood has a small chance of winning by KO. He only really knows how to fight one way, that is get in close and swarm all over his man, he did land some pretty big punches on Oganov and Kariuki in the Contender series, so there is a chance (all be it small) that he lands with such a blow on Mundine and Mundine cant recover.

Wood has a habit of holding his opponent with his left arm and hitting with his right at the same time, he got away with this in the Contender series on a number of occasions. I imagine the Mundine camp have spoken to the referee tonight and suggested he be strict with Wood on such incidents.

$50 for mundine circus event.

$40 for katsidis vs living legend marquez for 2 proper world titles.

the mundine circus isn't even worth 26 cents in comparison.

haha so true. I dont believe people actually pay for this.

[Beltane]

Remember Mundine's philosphy is to "never give a sucker an even break", so some poor folk and clubs/pubs will still take his PPV garbage!

[buster007]

it obviously makes good profits or they wouldn't still be putting these shows on.

i bet some fighters on the card r getting a packet of chips and a drink as full payment, lol.

[Manassa Mauler]

Most of Mundines undercard fighters are given tickets as payment and whatever they sell they keep......

Keeps the crowds up aye

[Lethaleigh76]

yes, everybody is entitled to there own opinion, but I certaintly wouldnt pay $ 50 bucks for this card, I havent purchased a Mundine card in many years and it will be many years before I do...

Anyone know of a stream? Anyone? PM me please, thank you.

[Brute]

Won't be much of a spectacle, considering they are both close friends from the rugby days, it will be just another touchy feely pay day

Mundine played for St George and Brisbane. Wood played for Balmain and South Sydney. Brisbane is unpopular with Sydney teams and Souths and Balmain (niow part of Wests Tigers) have always been mortal enemies of St George. There will be no love lost.

Some little birdy told me they were close friends in Juniors.............. must have been a liar bird D

The boxing tragic i am however will ensure that i will head around the old mans joint and force him to buy the fight ................. my foxtel account will never list a Mundine fight as a PPV

They were not even in the same junior league. Garth was a South Sydney junior and Choc was a St George junior.

I saw his interview on Foxsports today and Mundine said he had never even met him before despite the rumours they were friends, he reckons that some of Mundines cousins are friends with Wood and thats were the rumours started.............. liar birds everywhere D D D

Just for the record Mundine and Woods are not friends

[caveman]

Not many would mate. Mundine was winning the fight.
There was a lot of holding and wrestling. Woods landed a right behind mundines ear, then a left on the chin and it was all over.

Garth has now beaten Kariuki, Oganov and Mundine. Pretty good resume for a guy with 12 fights.

I wouldn't be surpised if in stunning WWE fashion Woods scores a KO of Mundine which is later labelled a lucky punch by the Mundine camp.

This wouold be the ideal outcome as Mundine could set up a decent money rematch with woods and not have to go overseas. He could say crap like "this boy got lucky so know I have tke care of business at home before I conquer the world". It would also make Woods a household name and I believe Box promotions have an interest in his future fights so that would also be good for Choc too. Mundine then wins the rematch on points, restores his "image", and doesn't have to go on and actuaaly fight a top 10 guy but still "get's paid".

Picked like a dirty nose

[Aussiedave]

HAHAHA Mundine went down big time

Oh yeah might get you to pick my tattslotto numbers

[Hounddawg]

Ha Ha! I still missed the KO, i was outside having a smoke whinging about all of Garth woods 30 odd hits to the back of Mundines head.


I've been waiting a long time for this........suck shitt Mundine.

[belta53]

Was anyone else surprised that Mundine did not make more of the fact that the the first of the two punches that caused the knockdown seemed to land on the back of his head?

I suspect we will hear more from the Mundine camp when they review the fight.

[amwsnw]

I went to the local to watch it. I only saw two fights by the time I got there but from all accounts it was a terrible card....but I tell ya what, if I knew that outcome I would have paid to have it at home.
Mundine looked very ordinary from the start. It appeared to me his foot work was non existent (I know it has been slowly going over time but tonight was shocking). I am wondering just how much of a hinderance his hip probelms are. Great punch by Garth, landed flush........as for the back of the head punches by Garth, well when a ref wont take points off your opponent for holding for the entire bout you have to do something, and it worked. Mundine got his fair share of rabbit punches in.

[hussein]

Congratulations to Garth Wood, Mundine looked sloppy tonight, I don't think this weight suits him.

[diddy]

Hard to put into words how pathetic this result is.
