Well done Greigs Dad Pay up fella

Nice result for Mundine, sounds like it was an impressive performance

Im actually really suprised! I though Mundine was finished

Good stuff shows hes improving bigtime since the last time they met.

no wonder Kessler didnt want the rematch

This is ridiculous everyone knows kessler is the WBA champ. the wba need to get rid of this superchamp shit and we need to keep titles unified. so the wba now have two super middleweight champions

I like Mundine but Kessler done the business fair and square .

Mundine might be a bigmouth but he has bottle and no little skill.

He may have won but thats not the point he's not a world champion and if he thinks he is then he's deluded. let him box the IBF champ and if he wins then the WBA can call him the super champ and we can have another bout for the vacant title and two WBA super super middleweight champions.

Good deal for Mundine, I think hes an exciting fighter and IMO it speaks volumes that he was able to stop Soliman.....

If Mundine can keep this up it'll make the SMW even more interesting.....

I like Mundine, very slick and underatted fighter. I hope he goes on to bigger and better things now.

i heard he caused Kessler alot of problems but having not seen the fight i really cant say for sure

but i think there was a rematch clause and Kessler paid Mundine step aside money so he could fight beyer but the rematch was still on the cards.

guessing the ozzys could shed more light on what the score was on this and the Kessler fight

I thought Kessler beat him pretty comfortably. With regards to a rematch I didnt see any reason why there would be one.

I watched the fight last night, Mundine was impressive, I think Soliman won about 1 rd. I also watched Mundine/ Kessler & although Kessler was the clear winner Mundine fought one of the best fights of his career. Mundine looked awesome... he was landing his right hand pretty much at will. What surprized me was that from the 1st second Mundine stood his ground & was the aggressor. Many though Mundine would box more early on, but he was on a mission. I think the Mundine of last night would have given Calzaghe or Kessler a though fight!!!

He was in superb form!

Mundine stated in his post fight interview that his intention is to fight at Middleweight and that he won't get a rematch with Kessler or a fight with Calzaghe.
He will be a handful at 160 but Jermain Taylor is no Sam Soliman!
