Mundine Vs Trout set for August 24th!

[RAB2204]

Great match up, whats the outcome guys?

[thunderfromdownunder]

well i guess give credit were its due. Props to mundine for actually getting a live one down here. That being said, i doubt he can beat a young prime natural jmw.

[adamheight]

May be in Brisbane too!

[bigred83]

good on him for getting the fight down here, but what happened to him travelling OS to fight the best? surely that wasnt his little trip to NZ???

[Brute]

As far as Anthony is concerned a ferry trip to Manly is an overseas trip.

[thunderfromdownunder]

May be in Brisbane too!

Theres probably a reason for that. Maybe another dodgy hotel weigh in

[Beltane]

No doubt the bathroom scales will make a re-appearance.

The sagging ring ropes will be on order and a few heavies will be on stand-by to monitor the judges scoring.

[Hounddawg]

So WBA Regular champion for a third time, or interim or runner up in other words.

But seriously good on him if it happens, it's the most positive thread i've ever heard on Mundine.

Have we a source?

[Brute]

It's not on the schedule Trout only fought on June 11.

[patron]

this mundine promotion certainly has a Fishy smell about it, all the best

[crusader]

It wouldn't surprise me if Mundine is trying to arrange a fight with an actual trout. I'm sure he likes his chances against a fish.

[Totalpac]

Trout confirmed the fight on twitter.

Check him out at twitter.com/nodoubtrout

Think Mundine is in for a long night, respect for him making the fight though.

Not that Danny's opponents have been the best ever but atleast good quality/names. Maybe forced Mundines hand a bit?

Trout by domination for me

[crusader]

It's good to see Mundine taking on a live opponent again. Trout is a skilled boxer and has a great chance of winning.

[thunderfromdownunder]

the current version of mundine wont be beating any top fighters.

[adnileb]

Tough fight for Mundine. I like Trout. Has a good solid jab and work rate.

Mundine will be much faster though. not as powerful. Mundine on U/D

[Brute]

Anthony is not as fast as he used to be. He has said he could never play football again because of a bad hip injury.

[buster007]

he says lots of things, lol.

mostly fabricated or made up.

[thunderfromdownunder]

has mundine ever made 154 lbs legit? i know there was some contreversy around one of the weigh ins? (medley or waters, cant remember)

[Brute]

There was some debate about the scales used for the Jerez fight, for some reason Mundine and Jerez were weighed earlier than the fighters on the undercard and on a different set of scales.

[Marlin]

It wouldn't surprise me if Mundine is trying to arrange a fight with an actual trout. I'm sure he likes his chances against a fish.

[Beltane]

When young Mundine found out that the Trout he was to meet was the one below, he announced that he would be campaigning at flyweight in future:

[Brute]

Speaking of Light Middleweights, the interim WBO title in that division is being fought for on July 30 between Zaurbek Baysangurov of Russia, ranked 14 by Boxrec and Mike Miranda of Brazil, ranked 162, in Odessa, Ukraine..

That will do me.

[oliverfennell]

Mundine would have been a big favourite a couple of years ago, but Trout has to be favoured here, even as a "world champ" who's not even ranked in the world top 10.

[Brute]

"Boxrec" rates Trout at 6. He is undefeated.

No fight between Trout and Mundine is on the schedule. Mundine is still rated as a middleweight at 14.

Mundine is a Muslim. August 24 is in the last week of Ramadan this year. This would make training awkward.

[buster007]

yes but anthony is the most supreme athlete in the world, he said so. so it would be a piece of cake for him, lol.
