Mosley by KO. OR Mundine by robbery.

I think it will be a highly skilled fight and looking forward to it. I just hope Anthony doesnt feel the need to disrespect such a great fighter

Mundine will have to put his hairy-chested historical histrionics away if he wants to get the locals back onside to support him, especially after his poor display of sportsmanship after being soundly beaten by Daniel Geale.

He really has to hide his "heel" personna away, and try to become the people's champion for once. A bit late in his career now for such a turn around, but he needs to get bums on seats and pay-per-viewers to switch on, so anything is possible.

too late to stop playing the villain mate. everyone just wants to see him get KTFO.

agree popeye,mundine has done his dash, both well and truly over the hill anyway,who cares who wins

Having Shane Mosley in Australia reminds me of when I forked out 200 bucks tossed Jerry Lewis in Melbourne about 5 years ago. Sure he was no longer in his prime, couldn't hit the high notes and wasn't particularly funny. But it was Jerry Lewis and I'm glad I went. Same for Sugar Shane. Just hope he does the business on Anthony. Oh and if the play the star spangled banner I dare Mundine to stay seated

Looks like money problems could get this fight cancelled.

Sounds like Shane never wanted to fight at 154. That said, he is correct that if they (and who is they ??)cant find 300k where were they going to find the reported amounts. Who was promoting this? I don't think it was BOXA

Say no more...I would be very surprised if this comes off without any hiccups, prior to or after the bout!

OK thought I would track down the history of this prestigeous title
Never been defended, comes and goes. but the sad thing is that there are far more ridiculous titles out there

You can easily tell it's not a Boxa card 8)

Card is pretty good although it would have been nice to have a decent co-main

This is not a good read about either Mundine or Mosley:

Mundine seems to have his hands full with his wayward cousin: Blake Ferguson and there are medical queries about Mosley's fitness in this article.
