Anthony Mundine set to return!!!
http://www.fightnews.com/fightnews_2...EgJeruSbQ.html
I was starting to become a huge fan of Chock,and then he got the eye injury...he's scheduled to be back though!
"After rejecting the advice of doctors to have a cornea transplant, Mundine revealed he has been affected by shortsightedness for most of his boxing career. Mundine said, "I have an eye condition called keratoconus that makes your eyeball go out of shape so you lose your focus and you can't see distances."
Decemeber 10 is the date pencilled in. He also wants to fight the Kess JC winner.
Re: Anthony Mundine set to return!!!
Good, glad to hear it. Next time Mundine should not take medical advice from old ladies. Poor b@stard. I wish him the best in his return.
Re: Anthony Mundine set to return!!!
168 has become awesome over night!! You have Kess and JC,then Mundine,Inkin,Froch,Bute,Berrio(who has the potential to KTFO anyone on any given night) then Taylor is moving up,Pavlik may at some point then RJJ and Tito are fighting 2 pounds above this weight and Miranda too! Wow!!
Re: Anthony Mundine set to return!!!
he was only ever a journey man anyhow, don't see him coming back and fighting more seconed rate fighters being any different than before.

Fail to see how mundine giving kessler some trouble has anything to do with him being a journey man, any fighter who takes a regular WBA belt when there is a 'super-belt' is a pridless journey man - they are the only ones who take worthless belts.

Will do.....I'll call them right now. Sh#t, I forgot I don't speak Spanish ::** Oh well; I'll try abbra-caddabra and see if that works ;D Seriously, one fight that has to be made this year imo, don't see how Miranda can avoid it really.

That's a really stupid point! You fail to see he gave the second best fighter in the division tough fight(ie meaning he's not a jouneymean) just because he took a belt? A pro has to do what makes $$$,if someone offers a belt,you don't say no. Isn't Joel Casamayor an interim champ or something? Is he a journeyman too?

No, casa is the ring belt - there for undisputed.
Mundine lost to guys like manny siaca, got sparted out by ottke who didn't have the power to put and old lady away.
I have only seen clips of that fight but didnt kessler win just about eveyr round on any neutral card? Any guy like mundine who can never win the big fights and has to take second rate belts to make $$ is a journeyman gam, you know that... isn't he 0 in 3 world title attempts? getting knocked out, lossing to another second rate fighter and getting beating without to much trouble by kessler? then you pick up some title no one respects to get $$ lol if that isn't a journey man then i don't know what is.

hen you pick up some title no one respects to get $$ lol if that isn't a journey man then i don't know what is.
Well Ottke was his 11th pro fight? Siaca was a bad night and he looked good v Kess imo. His skills also improve at A RAPID pace and he looks better and better every time. He looked awesome v Soliman and Green. LOL at the highlighted,I see what you mean with that. I still wouldnt call him a journeyman though,the guy has skills!

yeah he does have skills i aint disputing that... but guys who fail time and time again at the crack of a world title to me are eithe rin a motherfucker of a devision, or are journeymen... up untill now SMw has been pretty poor for talent...

A journeyman? Name anyone other than Kessler and Calzaghe who'd beat him at 168? He KTFO Soliman who gave Winky Wright a tough fight, and Sam has a granite chin. I'd love Mundine to fight Froch cos he'd school Carl the overrated bum.

Saying youve only seen highlights of a fight and then making a comment about that fight is just fuckin stupid man. If anything i think the contender has shown us how highlights can make things appear different then what they are. I watched kessler vs mundine and let me tell you now....those judges were on fuckin crack especially the one who gave kessler every round or something. Siaca.....dude mundine went into that fight with an ankle injury, he couldnt move like he usually does. Hes tried to get rematches with siaca but siaca never wants them. And ottke, well that was his 11th fight and he was beating the crap out of him before the knock out. The knockout by the way was more of a conditioning thing then a chin thing. If you had watched the fight then youd know mundine was fucked coz he barely trained for it, he didnt spar or do most things you should do for it.
Re: Anthony Mundine set to return!!!
The Otke KO against Numdine was weird. It did not cath him on the chn but on the ear and side of the head. It was defo weird for him to be out for 5 mins aganst Otke. Otke normally Ko'd people by boring the audience to death.
Not seen his other defeats so won't comment about them.
Mundine v Froch is a fight I would love to see.

I dont think there is any argument that Mundine is a bit chinny, but calling him a journeyman is ludicrous. I recommend watching the Soliman fight its one of the best performances u could see against a limited yet tough opponent. Mundine managed to look good against a guy who is almost impossible to look good against.
I'd like to see Froch v someone who can fight back.
Re: Anthony Mundine set to return!!!
I think if Froch takes on Mundine then that will show where he is. He has not really beaten anybody to get to Number 1 WBC. He should fight Mundine as they both want the JC v Kessler winner and Mundine has already been beaten by Kessler.

Froch would get schooled by Mundine, he should fight a Bika, Soliman or Berrio first. I think all those beat him anyway.
How do u get to be ranked WBC #1 without fighting a guy ranked in the top 30 in your division?
Re: Anthony Mundine set to return!!!
Eagle i dont think mundine is chinny, neither kessler or green were able to hurt him. Granted they couldnt hit him cleanly but there was times when they did and to no effect at all. The ottke shot was a temple shot, temple has nothin to do with your chin. You can have the best chin in the world and get koed by a temple shot.

Its ok settle down, im a fan of choc as well. Maybe he is not chinny, but i doubt he has a granite chin. Like u said he rarely gets hit so we hardly know.

Well do u rate Froch? Cos u call Mundine a journeyman yet he is way better than Carl. Soliman was in his PRIME when he fought Mundine he'd just come off the Winky fight. Wright is a MW/SMW these days not a JMW. Thats like saying Manny Pac is a flyweight cos he used to fight there.
If u call Mundine a journeyman u know very little about him and boxing.
Re: Anthony Mundine set to return!!!
I'd still be worried about his eyesight.
