WBA#1 super middleweight Anthony Mundine (27-3) scored a fourth round knockout over Ruben Acosta (12-2-4) of Argentina at the Newcastle Entertainment Center, Newcastle, NSW, Australia tonight. Acosta came to fight and attacked Mundine from the opening bell but the Australian had too many skills for the importation and controlled the action. At 1:41 of round four, Mundine was crowned the winner by referee Garry Dean after he dropped Acosta with a power left hand rip under the rib cage.

ive been wondering all day about the outcome of the mundine~acosta fight...well i knew mundine would win it was a matter of when he would win!happy to hear he keep to his prediction of KOing Acosta within 6!...........I would like to see him take on Lacy as a tune up before a world title shot.....ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE A FIGHTER OF LACYS CALIBRE ON UR RESUM'E

.....HOPEFULLY THE DIVISION WILL BE UNIFYED BY THEN SO MUNDINE CAN HAVE A CRACK AT BEING UNDISPUTED ,WHICH I THINK HE HAS THE SKILL TO DO!

.......AS FOR SOLIMAN?......WELL THAT WOULD BE GOING OVER OLD GROUND!

At 1:41 of round four, Mundine was crowned the winner by referee Garry Dean after he dropped Acosta with a power left hand rip under the rib cage.

Mundine stated after that he will be fighting for the vacant WBA super middleweight title now Mikkell Kessler has become a super champion holding both WBC and WBA 168 pound titles. Mundine will meet WBA #2 Jeff Lacy or WBA #3 Sam Soliman. (Soliman lost a disputed twelve round split decsion to Mundine in 2001)

In the main supporting bout heavyweight and rugby league football star Lance Thompson (2-1) scored a second round stoppage over Vai Toevai (2-9-2) of New Zealand. Referee Brad Griffiths saved the Toevai from further punishment at 1 minute 59 seconds.

Cruiserweight Jamie Wither (7-0) scored a shutout six round decision over Justin Clements (33-14-2). Withers suffered a cut over his left eye in round two. Scores 60-54, 60-54, and 60-54.

Super middleweight Peter Mitrevski(16-3-1) was given stiff opposition by Komgrit Nanakorn (8-4) of Thailand in the early rounds of there six round contest as the import connected with accurate right jabs. The Australian dropped the Thai in round four with a left hand to the jaw and dominated rounds five and six to win by scores of 59-54, 59-54 and 60-55.

Super middleweight Peter Kazzi (6-1) scored a second round stoppage over Anton Donpradith (0-5) of Thailand. Kazzi dropped Donpradith in round two with a left rip and shortly after the referee crowned Kazzi to save the visitor from further punishment. Time 1 minute 59 seconds.

In a light heavyweight contest former national amateur champion Daniel Baff (3-1) was impressive in scoring a stoppage in round one over Rakeesh Kumarsingh (1-4) of Fiji. Baff hurt his opponent with solid combinations and at 1 minute 50 seconds the referee called it off.

Cruiserweight Wayne Parker jnr (3-0) won a majority four round decision over Dave Dowden (4-19-1). Scores 39-37,39-37 and 38-38.

This promotion was nationally televised on Foxtel Main Event on pay-per-view. Commentators Clinton Grybas, world light heavyweight contender Paul Briggs and former IBF jnr lightweight champion Barry Michael. Promoter Tony Mundine Sr.

Lacy’s calibre? I guess you are joking!?

Lacy is one-dimensional, slow and without boxing-skills. Most top fighters would easily defeat him. Just remember how easily Smith made him cry and Ashira Evans KOed him.

Mundine would rape Lacy badly.

I think Lacy would stuff Kessler... shame Kessler seems to be ducking him

In Danish it means almost something like: on hiking with the master

But the word "hiking" is a little too new for an exact translation - if you have some older word for walking in the nature (looking for plants, animals or special swamps), I guess it would fit better on the Danish translation.

In Danish:

På vandring med mesteren.

Lacy does indeed has a big pulse, but else he is not better than Kessler IMO.

Palle was the person I would least work together with

You have a word specifically for "walking in the woods looking for special swamps" in Danish? Interesting....sorry to get you off the point, it's just that sort of stuff is kind of neat to know.

Thanks, have a cool click

Listening to all the talk down here, it seems now it will be a Mundine Vs Lacy bout in the US. Mundines people are not too interested in dealing with Sams mob. And he has said he would like to fight a high ranked American in the US somewhere to get some exposure over there. Mundine will be way, way too fast for Lacy. Lacy will probably retire after this fight.

i know mundine would beat him easily,if u bothered to read my post moron u would see i clearly said lacy would be a good tune up for mundine!................and i know lacy is one dimentional and slow.....but not to many people thought that before calzaghe beat him.......

......and lacy still would be a good fighter to have on ur resum'e ,hes only lost to joe calzaghe ......SO DONT KNOW WHAT UR TALKING ABOUT! .HAVE A SC FOR SAYING EVANS KOED HIM AND GIVING ME THE SHI.TS!

Lacy will batter Mundine if they fight, I bet my sig on it.

.....Mundine....I don't know much about him......isn't he this guy

[youtube=425,350]e8je7bVRpDY[/youtube]

c'mon Lyle that was with no ametuer career, only 10 professional fights and no quality sparring in the leadup. He went to Germany to face an undefeated German World Champion and personally I thought he was winning the fight

Hopefully Lacy v Mundine happens.. Mundine definatley sits on his ass in that one!! but more than likely gets the decision.
