I know Choc is not the most popular guy on this forum but I am looking forward to this card 2nite...
I think the inclusion of "The Contender" final and even the fight of the old bull Nadar Hamdan v the young calf Junior Talipae will make the Mundine card interesting.
As for the main event, Medley will not be a walk over as some of Mundine's past South American cabbies as opponents will be.
All in all, a good boxing card for boxing fans here in Aus I think, what bout u'z?
I would not be surprised if Mundine lost tonight, he has a groin injury and has been struggling to make weight. Not good signs. But if mundine is in usual form then he should win.Quote:

Yeah he's not had a great build up but he looks good. Best part of his prep was probably getting the fight moved to middleweightQuote:

Good points win for Peter Mitrevski Jnr at Jnr Middleweight.
Junior Talipeau V Nader Hamden next should be a good one. I like Junior in this one.
Then the "Contender Australia" final Garth Wood V Kariz Kariuki
Hello hello hello hello Hello hello hello hello Hello hello hello hello Hello hello hello hello
Junior Talipeau V Nader Hamden on now here we go.
Flash KO in round 1 for Junior. Hamden is hurt and cut. Fight is stopped!!!!!
Controversy as Hamdens corner claim head clash but the ref says its a punch Head clash confirmed by the reply so a technical draw. Crowd yelling "Bullshit bullshit bullshit". Such a shame Junior was gunna win by KO. O well next time. They both agreed to fight again.
So next is the contender Australia final Garth Wood V Kariz Kariuki. Shoule be good. Hopefully not stopped on cuts as 2 fights have been tonight and called a technical draw. Woods does cut easily and Kariz is a great puncher so we will see.
Yeah that was bullshit, the ref used the big Tv screen to make his decision, isnt that instant replay and isnt that banned in boxing except for one or two places in america? What a load of shit, if the ref couldnt make a call at the time then he didnt pay enough attention.Quote:

I agree on the decision but still you know rules are rules and at least if the ref was going to make a decision he could of made it less obvious he used the tv because id say if Junior wanted to appeal that then he would probably win his appeal.Quote:

Great round for wood - stnned Kariz with some big rights - go Garth
Rnd 2 wood lands another big right and another really showing some toughness wow both unload what a great round how can Kariz take this - wood now cut over the left eye but a good round for wood - good fight this one
Rnd 3 KAriz comes back somewhat and lands his own big right and now goes after wood but wood moving too well for him now kariz moves in for the final part of the round - but a good round for wood - -moved too well
Rnd 4 Another good round for wood who is boxing above his record. Kariz will need a KO.
Rnd 5 And wood cut again but its not in the eye so ok both land well at the end of the round and a tight round
Rnd 6 Kariz will start to come on now wood has his work cut out - this rnd will tell Kariz may still need a ko now becoming a bit messy with both holding wood bleeding bad but still landing heavilly Kariz looking for the KO but not landing much.
Last rnd - good left from wood - if he stays up he will win. Brawling in the corner and landing from wood he's on fire this round Kariz now only has a ko chance and another good round for wood
Result goes to Garth Wood by SD
Fuck me dead Garth Wood can hold. If i was the ref i would of taken a point or at least warned him.
Yeah he fought a great fight - kept the taller guy in close
I was actually hoping for more action in that fight after the disappointment of nader and junior (not their fault). I was getting quite frustrated watchin garth get inside and then just hold and push kariz to the ropes and still hold. Totally convinced that mundine would knock both of those guys out in the same night, maybe they can make it a tag team match ;DQuote:

Main fight up now
Well its round 11 and as expected Mundine is in front. He should be ashamed to go this far when he is really a super middleweight fighting a junior middle weight. Anyway rnd 12 about to come and Medley should be proud to have stayed up against a bigger more skilled opponent.
end of rnd 12 and mundine will get the points but as he said himself should be disappointed not to stop medley.
I think mundines power is non existent at middleweight. I wont judge mundine too much because of his hip and groin injury he had going into the fight. But he needs to go back up in weight.
I've said it before (and got flamed for it), but Mundine and Guzman are the two biggest wastes of talent in boxing. I really think Mundine had the tools to compete with the very best, but he's just squandered his career.
How the hell could one pro judge see that fight going the other way?Quote:

We also saw a total robbery in the middle of the season of Contender here The Russian fighter was given one fight from what I saw of it.
Some judges just mess so hard with real peoples careers its just not right.They need to be answerable to a panel that decides if they get to work again.
Really? I saw the Russian lose to a 'true blue' Aussie fighter that they wanted in the finals (to boost ratings of course). Still, don't ever trust the contender's edited replays of their version of the fights, all a bunch of BS. It's boxing made accessible to the general public AKA complete sh*t without much actual boxing.Quote:

No I ment the fight between the Russian and maybe an African guy ? the Russian I thought lost 4 rounds. So did the Russians wife from the look on her face it was about 3/4 through the season and the fighters corner even had a real go at the judge on camera. From what I saw, I agreed it was a fix.Quote:

Apparently Johnny Lewis has made an official complaint about the judging in this current contender series. That fight Junior Talipaeu lost against Victor Oganov was one of the biggest robberies i've seen.
