‘Ryan Waters’

Anthony Mundine was back in action on Wednesday, stopping domestic rival Ryan Waters in the tenth round at the Entertainment Centre in Wollongong, New South Wales.

Mundine made his second appearance as a light middleweight, two years from from his second reign as WBA super middleweight champion and his edge in experience over Waters was evident from the first bell.

32 year old Waters had gone 19 bouts without a loss and previously held a gaggle of regional belts over the course of his six year career but was stepping up to world level for the first time.

Waters went right after Mundine from the first bell, hoping to tire the 35 year old but the taller, longer armed "Choc" simply maintained distance and picked off Waters on the way in with crisp counters.

By the middle rounds Mundine focused on the body of his adversary and was cut by a clash of heads, with Waters losing a point in the seventh for the same. More...

Three good fight cards took place over the last few days and we kick things off with Thursday's show at The Orion Function Centre in Campsie, NSW.

Former two-time super middle world title challenger Sakio Bika, 28-3-2 (19), annihilated chinny Argentine import Nestor Fabian Casanova, 22-15 (9), in the first round to win his sixth bout in a row.

The iron-chinned Cameroon born Sydney resident could be heading for another title challenge and to date has only come up short against Joe Calzaghe, Lucien Bute and Sam Soliman.

Also on the bill, Solomon Egberime, 20-2 (10), retained the Australian light welter title with a ten round unanimous verdict over NSW welter champ Bobby Antonakos, 11-3-1 (3), despite losing a point for low blows in the sixth frame.

On Friday at Cronulla Sutherland Leagues Club in Cronulla, NSW, Ryan Waters, 16-2-1 (10), put a 13 bout win streak and the WBO Oriental light middle belt on the line against IBF Australian light middle and former Australian welterweight titlist Shannon McMahon, 16-4-1 (6). More...

It was a massive night of fisticuffs last night Down Under and with so much action to choose from, it's difficult to know where to start!

But start we must and that takes us to the Sydney area where at the Catholic in Campbelltown, NSW, there was a big showdown at middleweight between IBO Champion Daniel Geale and challenger Geard Ajetovic.

Geale was coming off a masterful boxing performance last December against previously undefeated slugger Daniel "The Rock" Dawson to win the vacant IBO belt and but the Mt. Annan stylist was facing a tough challenge in this one.

Ajetovic, a native Serbian who has fought his entire career in England, had completed his last six bouts without a loss following a narrow disappointment to European Champ Christopher Canclaux in a non-title bout two years ago.

When the bout started, it was clear that Geale possessed the sharper skills and ring generalmanship, but the dangerous Ajetovic closed distance and badly the champion in the fifth round. More...
