Mundine v Mosely II

[Beltane]

With the princely sum of $750 for Diamond Ringside tickets, the joint will be as empty as a politican's promise!

jones - green dubious?

jones got pummelled. it was like a pitbull on a poodle, lol.

get over it sook
the smart money knew who was going to get the nod,Jones had no need to let it go anylonger
he was already paid,went back home and lost nothing in the ratings,Sook? did you learn that at school today all the best

Yes but Hopkins got $2million in the rematch with Roy and and Roy got $0 because it didn't sell well because he lost to Green so Roy wasn't that smart was he.

Don't agree Lou. With a decent undercard, I would have gone to see this, but the undercard is rubbish.Have a look at the records of the opponents Ahmed Dib and Bilal Akkaway have fought.Talk about padded undefeated records...

[bogan whisperer]

I think Mundine has a good chance to win this. Mosley has always struggled with taller fighters who fight at a distance (Forrest, Winky) I also think Mosley is more shot than Mundine. Mundine is still somewhat top class, having only just lost a competitive but clear decision to Geale. My money is on Mundine for this fight (even though he isnt the favorite)

How many rounds do you think Mundine was competitive against Geale? I would have said about 4. Geale would have won the other 8 conclusively and probably 2 of the other 4 as well.

[bogan whisperer]

Since the fight is almost here -- any word on live ticket sales?

I'm reading Mundine is likely to lose a packet on this promotion. Perhaps 500 or 600 thousand dollars.

[Perseus]

I also think Mundine has a good shot at winning this.
He's not facing the year 2000 version of Shane Mosley he's facing an aged, faded version of Mosley. Shane had a tough time getting past Pablo Cesar Cano in his last outing.

An earlier version of Mosely would have humiliated Mundine. But this one is 42 and may struggle. Mundine says he plans to stamp his authority from the opening bell. I don't think that will be his plan at all. Expect Mundine to keep right out of harms way for at least 3 or 4 rounds.

[Uppercut1]

I still reckon this version of Mosley will beat Mundine. I predict Mundine being stopped.

[bigred83]

so glad i didnt pay for that.
was a good display by anthony while it lasted, but really dissapointed with the ending.
the furguson fight was a joke, there was no way that kid was 6'1", 97kg. no way ever. it was a setup, and it backfired IMO.
will say that the kwadjo v quinlan fight was a cracker. if a promoter doesnt try and pick up a rematch, they are a tad silly. thats not to say it should happen in terms of where things are, it will just be a great watch again. those two went at it like men posessed, was awesome to watch.

[hussein]

Credit where credit is due, Mundine dominated from the opening bell and rarely looked troubled.

One of the better performances of his career.

Mosely was completely and utterly outclassed.

Mundine won every round. But forget about class being the difference. Mundine was younger, bigger, stronger and used his reach to maximum advantage. That version of Mosely last night wasn't a shadow of the fighter who became a legend.

[amwsnw]

A fight stopped on back spasms - very odd. Shane made a small complaint to his father at the end of the round and his dads reply was "No son, you have to win this fight" seemed to me his dad knew what was coming along. Raul Caiz had made his decision the fight was going to be stopped before the doc even looked at Shane. Then the reporter picks up on the two talking about a rematch and neither really wanted to discuss it. Credit where its due, Choc boxed well, but there were several occasions where both fighter had the other hurt and just didn't go for the kill !! didn't think Choc set the world on fire, just expected more from Shane.
Credit to Kwadjo and Quinlan, great fight.

What sense would a rematch make? The first scheduled fight didn't happen cause they couldn't sell it. The second cost Mundine a fortune because they couldn't cover costs. Rematch

[amwsnw]

I agree mate, however the way Khodder thinks, who knows. Maybe a rematch in the USA if Choc still dreams of breaking into that market...

Mundine's only fight in the US sold about 250 tickets and Khoder didn't want him to go over there. That's why they split up for a while. Mosely v Mundine wouldn't sell in the US. Not a chance.

[Uppercut1]

Boy was I wrong in my prediction.

I hate the fact Mundine is gonna talk up this victory forever now. "I stopped Mosley blah blah"

[buster007]

its most likely choc looked goo cause shane was having back problems.

shane is the last fighter I'd expect to quit without a great reason.

u could tell something was wrong cause he wasn't throwing many punches. that's very uncharacteristic of mosley.

[The Raw Prawn]

BoxRec's Top 10 Lightmiddles will all be running for cover this morning.

[patron]

Mosely was one of the best finishers in the game, he hurt mundine twice with right hands but didn,t follow through, mundines stooges, micheals and co. had mundine winning after the first 30 secs.Moselys lefts to the body were not mentioned, and Mosely didn,t follow through with a right hand and left hook over top which was a norm in most of his fights, credit to mundine, the records will show him ahead on points when the fight was stopped, Mosely will head home richer and , no worse off as far as ratings go, and a tube of Pain -away for that
back problem,only one decent fight on the program, and how could they have 2 novices as the main prelim,Ferguson was in the wrong arena last night,but they both showed they had the ticker all the best

[Beltane]

Yet there were only two winners out at Hombush:

- A 42-year-old man who has won one fight from his past six, and wasn't in condition to finish the fight, but walked away with a cool $1m, and weeks earlier $400k money for nothing, courtesy of Jeff Fenech.

- Mundine's ego has been sated with the victory, even though it cost him a packet.

With a support card that was basically a farce and a main-event that was on the nose, again Mundine and his mob have given the sport another black eye.

At 38, he is a non-entity over in the USA, despite all his bleatings that he wants to fight the best overthere. Yet in his own backyard there is a real fighter named Sakio Bika. Well Mundine, time to man up!

[patron]

looks like we are going to be served up a return, not Mosely and mundine, but Ferguson and Turner,something to look forward to, and yes mundine is a nobody in the States, that is why Mosely had nothing to gain in this fight , other than a big payday as i said in an earlier post i couldn,t see mundine bring someone out with Moselys record, there have been plenty on the air today with the same opinion as i,ve got, and i,ve participated and followed the game for
60 plus years, i also admire every boy that steps through the ropes, and i think mundine has \
put another nail in the coffin of a great sport.Thursday night pommy fights have been a
lifesaver on Fox all the best

[bogan whisperer]

Mundine's win has gone virtually unnoticed in the US. The only coverage it seems to have gotten was on boxing websites, and the common theme was "Mosely is shot and should retire."

Beating the 42 year old Mosely was never going to open doors for Mundine. I think they'll probably target another former big name who is shot.

[amwsnw]

It's funny how all of a sudden Mosley is shot although he recently defeated cano. Shane was the betting favourite going into the fight. Must've become shot over a short period of time. Similar response when greeny iced rjj.

[buster007]

shane was fav cause mundine is finished. shane was shot before the fight. u know it.

choc was only looking good cause shane could barely move. surely u can see that.

did it seriously not dawn on u that something was wrong with shane when he stopped throwing punches? and Anthony still could not knock him out.
