Ben but if he was to fight in US? Would you think different of him?
So you'd rather him fight Shannon Taylor here?adamheight wrote:there was a guy on another board who hit the nail on the head saying that fighting on a sakio bika UNDERCARD must really put mundine in his place.
Couldnt care less if he fights in the states or here. As long as its a credible opponent.Ultimateboxa2 wrote:Ben but if he was to fight in US? Would you think different of him?
If you want to put every rumour on here and debate your thoughts, no worries but when the fight dosnt happen as usual you will look stupidUltimateboxa2 wrote:So you'd rather him fight Shannon Taylor here?adamheight wrote:there was a guy on another board who hit the nail on the head saying that fighting on a sakio bika UNDERCARD must really put mundine in his place.
I must admit, i have found a lot of you to be hypocritical on here. Knocking him for fighting bums. Then when the guy is apparently (Its boxing - apparently), going to the US, were still putting him down.
nah man, we just dont have selective memories like you...Ultimateboxa2 wrote:So you'd rather him fight Shannon Taylor here?adamheight wrote:there was a guy on another board who hit the nail on the head saying that fighting on a sakio bika UNDERCARD must really put mundine in his place.

your defense of him is growing weak I'm afraid. Credit will be paid...when it is due. He has beaten the faith out of most of us. Schedules mean nothing. Actions only will count.Ultimateboxa2 wrote:So you'd rather him fight Shannon Taylor here?adamheight wrote:there was a guy on another board who hit the nail on the head saying that fighting on a sakio bika UNDERCARD must really put mundine in his place.

dibs last fight against marali was one of his toughest (i actually had marali by 2 rounds)...Datsue wrote:Sorry to bring this back on topic (arf!) but I've never seen Dib. What's he like? Looking at his record, the Contreras win's a good one for an up'n'comer, but how much did Carlos have left?
I've seen Luevano live (against Nicky Cook) & while he isn't truly elite level he's deffo world class, very slick & a good southpaw counter puncher (nice straight left to head or body, especially on the counter). A really strong swarmer would give him trouble or a guy who can crack will take him (unsure of his durability, he looks somewhat fragile at times) but I can't see him losing to a guy who boxes off the back foot; he's very tricky & mentally tough; Cook just didn't know enough to get him out of his groove. I saw highlights of his fight with the Thai, Jandaeng, & TJ was simply too crude to get to him.
Do you guys fancy Dib for this one? What's his style like?
PS: (Sorry for the long post, just seems an intriguing fight) Also, what's the score with the African dude from Dib's last fight lodging a protest? Whining over the decision or what?
Cheers for the info, mate! Unless Zolani is one bad dude, then based on that performance I don't see much chance of Billy unseating Luevano.Monty wrote:Datsue
Marali lodged a protest in which the review saw things the same way as adamheight - 2 points for Zolani. The IBO ordered a re-match within 90 days about which Team Dib were less than enthusiastic of taking. Golden Gloves were prepared to offer $50,000 US but dib decided to drop down and face Luevano. I have not seen Luevano fight but being an expat-Englishman I follow the English scene and would say if David stopped Nicky Cook then Dib would have it all to do in this fight - it won't be easy for him for sure and good on him for taking the fight
