Green vs Mundine II to be held at Adelaide Oval in 2017?

[ClivePatrickLyons]

Thanks mate I did'nt realise that I thought the commission didn't care about the weight difference

The Victorian Chairman of the Professional Boxing & Combat Association, Bernie Balmer, said he has no problem with the weight difference. Balmer said he helped set up the South Australian branch. So the chances are they are of like thinking.

Former Vic chief (senior public servant) Bart McCarthy assisted SA government with legislation, which was implemented to stop so called "tough men" comps, which were no more than pubs/clubs setting-up rings & inviting patrons who grew balls with every grog to participate. There was also problems with Vic registered kickboxers. Numerous fought in Adelaide under bum names while suspended.
Boxing is contested under ANBF rules - observed by government compliance officer Tom Hunter. There's no weight difference rule within ANBF.

A few will question Briggsy's fitness etc but there is one thing that is for sure and Paul does not want to be embarrassed in this. he will come in ready to fight. Greeny offered to give Briggsy a warm up bout and he didnt want it, he said he can't get up for a warm up bout (remember Holyfield v Czyz). I think Greeny will win, but it should be a war and there is no way Green has been in a bout with anyone who punches as hard as Briggs

Youve got too much time on your hands. A comment made 6 years ago which proved incorrect. Well bugger me. I can assure you Im not blinded by emotion and definately not towards Greeny. I was asking a question which again you have failed to answer, but that is a trait you have. You dont want to turn this into a personal attack I can assure you.

OK. Yes I would make as big a deal if the participants were making less money(if I was aware of them). The numerous mismatches between imports bought over to pad our fighters records. Mundine-Ellis,Green-Briggs both farces at least Mundine has more than 6 weeks to get ready unlike Briggsy.

[bogan whisperer]

For those who have been complaining the weight difference for this fight is so totally unfair that it will just make the fight a farce it is time to PAY ATTENTION.

Betstar are offering $1.55 for a Danny Green win. Excellent value for those so keen on reminding us that the fight is simply a farce due to the weight limit.

But it gets even better. Betstar are offering a generous $2.50 for a Danny Green win by KO.

So if you really believe what you have been whining about this is simply a license for you to print money.

Making a fortune should be absolute child's pay according to your views about the inevitable outcome of this fight. So go to it. Make your fortune.

Not bad odds. Risk $200 for $110.00 return on your investment. Worth a lash.

You obviously understand how the odds workout money-wise. What odds do you think a Green win should be paying?

Mundine is clearly the better boxer, but I'm not sure where he is going to find punch resistance & the power that has vacated him, wouldn't surprise me if both fighters are looking at taking some performance enhancers for this bout

[bogan whisperer]

Mundine will have stacked the weight back on simply by no longer starving himself. But I'm sure both fighters will consider every single legal option available to them to enhance their chances.

I doubt the fight will be subject to any testing, being an exhibition fight

[Redback Rasta]

This is a prize fight for money and no more or less an exhibition fight than their first meeting. I dare say there probably wasn't any drug testing for their first meeting either (assuming there is none for this one of course).

Mundine said he would insist on it for what that's worth after Greeny got caught out breaking the rules in the Tarver fight.

The first fight was a WBA eliminator it had a meaning beyond just money.

Best you check out what the meaning of "exhibition fight" is.

Here's one definition >>>

An exhibition fight is a contact sports non-profit event, usually a boxing fight in which participants fight, normally for three rounds. They may wear large gloves to minimize punch harm or impact on the combatants, headgear, and non-boxing related clothing.

This fight has a meaning beyond just money too. If you don't realize pride and bragging rights are on the line too you best open you other eye.

A paid exhibition fight then, pride and bragging rights? OK but IMO this is like Fenech-Nelson 3,RJJ-Hopkins 2 although what Hopkins achieved after that fight is impressive. Just a super annuation fight and cashing out.

It simply isn't an exhibition fight at all. The terminology is completely incorrect >>>

An exhibition fight is a contact sports non-profit event, usually a boxing fight in which participants fight, normally for three rounds. They may wear large gloves to minimize punch harm or impact on the combatants, headgear, and non-boxing related clothing.

Here's the breakdown of why it isn't an exhibition fight >>>

*Non-profit event - could hardly be further from the case.
*3 rounds - no it will likely be 10 or 12 rounds
*Large gloves - no they will wear gloves consistent with professional boxing.
*Head gear - no they won't be wearing head gear.
*Non-boxing related clothing - again no, they won't be wearing singlets or the like.

Conclusion : It is not an exhibition fight at all. Nothing of the sort and pointless trying to pretend it is

You rolled over on the pride and bragging rights pretty easily, and rightly so, because everybody knows the result means a lot to both of them and that will become even more obvious in the pre-fight build-up.

[GhostBoxing15]

It's an exhibition fight, if it was a real fight who would sanction a fight that 2 fighters have come from 4 weight divisions apart? It has no relevance on their records as they are both done & dusted & has no interest from any sanctioning body

It simply isn't an exhibition fight. Doesn't even go close to meeting the criteria for one.

If you had ever been to an exhibition fight you would know what one actually looked like. The fighters wear head gear, 16 oz gloves and usually singlets as well, and they are usually 3 or 4 round hit outs. Exhibition fights are often used as fillers on a card where there would otherwise be too big a gap to keep the punters entertained. Usually where there have been a series of early KOs and the main even fighters aren't ready to go.

[AntonS]

Gents, you're repeating yourselves. Time to move on

[GhostBoxing15]

Just another swindle to take money from the public that wouldn't know any different, Who's supplying the Dannyweight belt for the winner?

[Redback Rasta]

It isn't hard to tell there's a Green - Mundine fight in the pipeline. The media are all over it and the forums are going absolutely gangbusters. This thread being a prime example.

[AntonS]

It'll soon be under lock & key, if repeated repeats don't cease.

[Like a Boss]

Anthony Mundine is planning to spend the next month training with Roy Jones Jr and his father Roy Sr in Florida prior to basing himself in Brisbane and working with Trent Broadhurst in the lead up to his February 3rd fight with Danny Green.

Roy Jones Sr was in Mundine’s corner when he beat Green in 2006.

Green KOed Roy Jones Jnr in the 1st round in 2009.

[thunderfromdownunder]

My two cents,
Mundine was the better boxer when it mattered, but now, his style isn't made for longevity. Green is a decent boxer/puncher and I feel he hasn't eroded as much and has everything in his favour this time around.
Let's just hop they put on a decent undercard

When it mattered?

You are implying there that there's a time in a boxer's career when it doesn't matter if he wins or loses.

Suggest to Green or Mundine that the result of this fight doesn't matter and be prepared for the backlash. There is some serious pride on the line here and to guys who have already banked their millions, pride and bragging rights mean a hell of a lot.

Good summary. Like RJJ-Hopkins 2 though Hopkins won and lost 3 legit titles to top shelf boxers after their bout.
