He'll definitely have a big money rematch with Wood. the mug punters will think wow Wood beat him before so I have to see the rematch, thus creating bigger paydays. I hope Wood gets a fair shake.

i dont know about big pay days from this fight or any of his last few fights?

i mean i doubt that many if anyone from this site would have payed to watch this or any of the last few fights? last time i went to the pub to watch the jerez fight there were 5 people there including me and the mrs. if people dont watch his fights and he fights in small venues surely his sponsors must be loosing interest too? i just dont understand how he can be making much more than a reasonable living ?

compared to say a green fight where you can barely get into the pub let alone see the tv and the venues are almost always packed and everybody in oz at least is keen to watch the sports news highlights if nothing else.

Let him go Stateside so they can put up with him for a while.

nobody would fight him. he was a nobody there before the wood fight. even the journeymen would laugh at him now.

It would be revenge for all those crappy TV shows they send us.

The options:

- retire: probably the best option as he has been diminished and can take the money and run.

- rematch wood: probably his last shot at PPV and being avaricious may take a chance but another defeat will see him lose face and be on the scrapheap.

- rematch geale: not bloody likely as Daniel will take the much more vulnerable Mundine apart and all the loose glove tapes to gain time and threatening judges this time will not save him.

- keep fighting imports: no one will turn up or PPV, so little chance.

- move stateside and go mix it with the big boys: not an option now unless we rephrase the option to read: move stateside and go mix it with the little boys

Become a bad ass gangster and then write a book..."the man who clubbed Mundine" but seriously.... milk it for all he can and here's wishing well be it in or out of the ring to Wood.

He is not rated in the top 20 light middleweights by Boxrec now.

If he is to remain in this sport he must re-match Garth even if its a 70/30 split Garths way. I wouldnt be surprised if he retired. Anthony has relied on his hand speed to score points. His elusive skills and reflexes have kept him out of major trouble since the Ottke KO, even then it was more lack of conditioning that bought him undone. At 35 those reflexes have started to slow. I watched the Jerez fight and I remember thinking if Jerez had genuine KO power then it could have been a shock loss. I think he is at least 4 years past his prime. The KO loss to Garth will play on his mind no matter who he fights and as history tells us once a genuine KO loss is suffered it usually leads to another, especially when age is a factor. If your greatest assetts are hand speed and genuine elusive skills then age will find you out, a granite chin will keep you in the game a little longer but this is not the case with Anthony.

Anthony Mundine is now 35 years old and old injuries from football and boxing are catching up on him.

Maybe he should open a couple more coffee shops.

The yo yo system in Boxrec ratings continues. Now Choc is number 15 super middleweight.
