Mundine/Wood

[myrontheinvincable]

There was no fix !

Try, as all you want to extrapolate this mythical fix, but this never happened.

What happened was, that Garth Woods was extremely unskilled in the boxing context, and was not up to the boxing rules of the Marquis of Queensberry.

The damaged that he caused was devistating and illegal. A more skilled boxer would NOT HAVE HIT MUNDINE BEHIND THE EAR, BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS WAS NOT FAIR, AND WAS DISQUALIFIABLE...but as history has shown, Garth does not comply with silly old rules.

Q: If you look at the two after the decisive outcome, and without knowledge of the outcome, who looked the worse?
A: Garth Woods had a severly swollen and cut (LEFT) eye, and he looked ragged. Mundine looked clubbed to death, with the whack behind his left ear.

Punters are happy that Mundine was bashed behind the back of his left ear....typically, this summarises the low level of mentality, lack of knowledge, lack of fairness, and ebullient bullshit that fight fans have these days. If you have watched the replay, you would have to be a blindman not to have seen that the punch that caused the greatest damage to Mundine, was the right cross thrown behind Mundines left ear ( the left hook that followed was superfluous to the outcome.)

Now you blokes that have never had any involvement in violent pastimes, would have no idea about this.... you must try to move above the few spars that you had in your grandpas garage and your self-developed opinion of being an expert boxing commentator; or it might have been your onfield footy antics of wrestling and giving out coat-hangers, or your push and shovies as a bouncer at some lame pub for a year or two, that has mislead your ugly head to glorify your own stupid viewpoints.... I say, if you really want to assess Mundine and Wood's performances, then get someone to put a glove on and give you a half decent, big whack behind your ear - you won't be able to see how quickly it is, that you are heading towards the floorboards and experiencing a critical shutdown, because you will be in the land of the la la. You wont feel the extra left hook either, as you are slowly falling to the ground. All you virgin boxing commentators who have not ever experienced a big whack behind the ear, should have to go and get one before writing anything on a boxing forum.

You seem to be very well versed in the sport and the impact a wack behind the ear causes. Did you happen to see the body shot before the glancing blow behind the ear ?? In my experience, that seemed to be a punch that woulve and seemed to, do a lot of damage.

Mate, I have watched the fight replay time over, but cannot even begin to recognise the body shot you talk about.

[JSA]

I have only had the benefit of watching the angles of the KO that are/were on youtube. IMO i saw the bodyshot and feel it did have an effect, i saw the first left hook which to me seemed to stun Mundine and the right that from the views I saw SEEMED to contact but clear and decisive view i could not determine. That said it did seem that righht was thhe blow that really sent mundinee to la la land and thee final left was a coup de grace. As for exactly where the right hit decisive footage is not available to me. As for the first left cauusing the ko and mundines parachute being a little delayed in opening then i would suggest hiss previous ko/kd history suggests otherwise (ottke/ crazy kim) whhere he went down like a sack of shitt instantly. even without the right i think the body shot and first left at the very least left him in position and status to be rocked to the point of a ko anyway regardless if the rright was illegal wich i still cannot tell from the youtube footage(noo facility for slow mo). an over the top angle wouuld be best and i have not seen that, assuming its even available.

cant believe nobody has made mentionof the little double knee GARTH did as mundine fell. didnt do much but it was dirty.

anyway- i have no sympathy for mundine. having formerly a fan and supporter his general conduct, african american gangsta wannabee crap, hhis stupidity and most imporrtantly hiss terrible opposition and opponent ducking for years has made him lose all credibilty in my mind. so hhe got whatever he deserved.

one can offer all sorts of theories as to form etc. weighht drained, dodgey hip- perhaps you could even suggest that he has dropped weight in hope thhat at a lighter weighht he oped his hip wouldnt give him so much gip but i think thats clutching at straws and is a bit paradoxical. at lower weights he has looked bulaemic and anorexic and far from a picture of health. and no question it has affected his power.

finally for a fighter that depends on reflexes and speed age is now against him and that along with his weakened weight drained body he has been paying the price.but he has run the gauntlet of fighting ,in the majority, poor opposition in his later career and his money milking strategy and bottom feeding finally caught up with him. itt nearly did against crazy kim and others.

as for garth- cant see the lad going far but good luck to him.dity or not he will be found out.

the legal punches did the damage.

the one to the side of the head was a fairy tap.

Mate, I have watched the fight replay time over, but cannot even begin to recognise the body shot you talk about.

2min17secs into 5th round. Wood lands a right to mid section of Mundine. Its the punch that starts him leaning to the right and ducking, Mundine's left drops to protect his exposed ribs, Wood then lands a left to the head followed by a glancing right to the head then a left to the left ear area which koed him.

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".

HOW PREDICTABLE.

After seeing the replay of the blow and the way they tried stay as slose to eachother as possible in the corner and block the view I have to believe this was a fix like I said in the above post a few days ago. Yes it was a "BIG" shot but I don't buy it.

This is the perfect result for Mundine who now has to "re-think" his plans to go over seas. Now he can stay in Aus fighting tomato cans in prep for a rematch with Wood, all the while getting paid a crapload for doing it.

The WWE got nuthin on Mundine and Boxa, lol

Well Buster I guess it didn't turn out to be rubbish after all.

[buster007]

u mean mundine lost, but was granted a rematch in which he won.

totally amazing. its never happened before, lol.

mundine was ko'd by a legitimate shot. i can't help u if u don't believe it, but it is yet to be proven the punch did NOT in fact ko him.
