It was great to watch, i said mundine by UD but also said dont be surprised if mundine stops him. Like i said before, mundines skill and ability has improved shit loads...the only thing soliman improved on was his management.
Was Roy Sr able to make it ??? I heard there were schedule conflics and he might not have made it to train Mundine ???Quote:

I never even knew Mundine was trained by Roy Sr. But when I saw that video, he throws that right hand just like Roy. I always thought it was just flashines, I guess it's taught?

Im still shocked by the result, even now. So does this make Mundine a major player at 168?
You and me both. Mundine by decision wouldn't have been so shocking I guess but by KO is really surprising. And just from the clip, he looks very fast and he actually looks like a good boxer now. He has to be the most improved fighter in the game.Quote:

If Kessler puts Andrade away, he should give Mundine the promised rematch ASAP ;) that would be a great fight IMO O0
Mundine is the best fighter in super middleweight at the moment. Im confident he will beat kessler easy.
Hmm . Thats a bit of a silly thing to say considering Kessler went to Auss and put on a clinic in front of Mundines compatriots .
Sam Soliman is a good middleweight but he was only a fringe contender at Middle and has never hit that hard !
Mundine is good i like him but he is a level below somebody with the class of Kessler .
Kessler punishes mistakes and is an intelligent box fighter he sits right up in front of you giving you angles and then making you pay !!
Soliman does none of these he is a ragged arm puncher poor balance who compensated with super endurance .
Comparing Soliman the Mauler to Kessler the Class act at world level is like comparing Manchester United to Newcastle .
Man U can do it against anyone , Newcastle can beat anyone on their day but not on an off night .
Form is temporary class is permanent,
I WAS NEVER REALLY A MUNDINE FAN BUT HIS RECENT RESULTS HAVE BEEN OUTSTANDING. PEOPLE HAVE TO REMEMBER HE NEVER BOXED TIL HIS LATISH 20'S SO HE IS STILL LEARNING. hE DOMINATED GREEN WHO IS A CLOSER STYLE TO KESSLER THAN SOLIMAN, SO HE HAS BEATEN TWO QUALITY FIGHTERS WITH OPPOSITE STYLES IN HIS LAST TWO FIGHTS.
IN THE FIRST KESSLER FIGHT HE WAS TOO TIMID BUT WAS NEVER REALLY TROUBLED. A REMATCH WOULD BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY AND I'D BACK MUNDINE TO SHOCK A LOT OF PEOPLE.... 2007 AND 2008 COULD BE MASSIVE YEARS FOR THE MAN.
I was really impressed with Mundine! Aggressive from the 1st bell til he ended it! He's a tough beat for anyone at 168 right now!
It was good to see Mundine step up again and do what he needed to do to win the fight. Roy Snr has made such a difference IMO and I'd certainly be interested to see him against Kessler again. Agree with the comments about Soliman. He is more comfortable at middleight and i think he discovered he might just want to stay there.
I dont see Kessler beating Andrade, but a fight with either guy would be a good step up for MundineQuote:

Anyone seen or want to see this fight?
