Last night Anthony Mundine was interviewed on Aussie tv. He got the worst news possible from his surgeon late yesterday. He will never regain full site and it may not get any better. He was holding back tears when speaking to media, but broke down in his mothers arms soon later. Good luck Choc! Hopefully he proves the docs wrong and gets back in the ring. :'(
Wow horrible.....he needs to talk to holyfield. Anything is possible.
I saw that too, he will lose partial vision in the left eye after recovery from surgery.
It's all over for The Man!
Wow, I'm shocked. Sad news for him. Out of every negative comes a positive though. At least we won't have to listen to his dickheads fans tell us why he would beat Kessler second time around.
I used to like Mundine because he was always improving. I mean constantly improving even after title shots and winning bouts he would improve every time out. Then I learned that he was a bit of an ass, but still sad nonetheless.
If that is the case then obviously it's a horrible shame for him, but I suppose that it will let him do some positive work in promoting eye and contact lens hygiene, and I'm sure he's a big enough star in Oz to get plenty of other work.
However, I'm sure he'll go to every possible solution before he takes the fact that he'll have to retire...it'll be fourth and fifth opinion time.
I don't see why his career should be over, I mean they let Thomas Hearns continue to fight even though he's punchdrunk, Morrison has aids, Mesi had bleeding on the brain, Valero has a hole in his head and Zab Judah has no testicles or chin to speak of yet all these guys continue to fight.
What does it matter if you are a bit short sighted in one eye, yyour opponent is never more than a couple feet away from you and you don't need to be able to recognise him, just aim for the man with no top on.
choc will be back
Shant miss him
it a shame he was getting better all the time aswell.
Just a thought but where's Big Jack? Normally he'd be all over a story like this ???
Hope he's ok. :-\
Fuck it...I can't stand this guy.Quote:

Fuck you all who say you dont give a shit, how would you like all your dreams to go up in smoke coz of an injury. You guys dont even know him yet you judge, hes nothin like guys like judah or any other fuckwits in boxing. He lives a clean life, doesnt drink or smoke. Hope he comes back and proves all you haters wrong.
This is fair tragic, i also think we're being a little selfish here by saying "but he ca still find a way to fight." This effects not only boxing, this will be with him for the rest of his life
Terrible news
