Mundine does it again.....

[bikersk]

Just don't know what to make of him these days. Due to fight "Deadly" Rob Medley at Jnr Middleweight he's fighting with the IBO and can't make the weight. He's really put people off here lately - yes even more than usual - to the point where previous fans such as myself are now feeling he is taking the fans for a ride to line his own wallet.

Mundine 'dogs' title fight - Boxing - Fox Sports

Switch all about Mundine: Medley - Boxing - Fox Sports

He needs to fight Daniel Geal again and stop fighting club fighters. No disrespect to Rob Medley as I have seen a number of his fights but there are way better fights out there than Rob, isn't there?

Mundine has been taking the piss in every fight since the Green fight apart from the second Soliman fight.

More concerning - what's with Green and Mundine fighting for IBO belts and then acting like they have won world titles? Anything other than WBA, IBF or WBC = bullshit. WBO maybe, but it's a big maybe...

Mundine is a clown - you'd think he'd try and get close to 154 before he signs the contract. They should't pay him - but that won't happen since it's his people, his promotion, his terms.

Mundine is a F**kin dispicable C**t, suprise suprise he backs out of a title fight. Even worse the fact that medley is another punter mundine isn't confident of beating. The fact that he gave up his belt not to fight Geal says it all in my opinion.

FUCK YOU MUNDINE YOUR A BLACKEYE OZ BOXING DOSN'T NEED.

And he even had the gall to ask the IBO to have all local (NSW) judges and ref. He and his team must know that sanctioning bodies have their own rules about that. My opinion is that no one has bought the PPV and they are in damage control looking to whatever technical points they can use to shut down the event without looking like it was b/c no ones buying his snake oil anymore.

I have refused to watch anything of his since the second Soliman fight because it flat out has not been competitive.

Thankfully the Australian public is getting wind of it.


I don't think pound for pound Green is anywhere near the fighter Mundine COULD be, but credit to Green - he's made good attempts to get Tarver out here, got RJJ out here and did his best to get Hopkins out here - YES they are all long in the tooth, but they are still a couple of streets better than the Argentinian cabbies Mundine fights...

[bikersk]

Yeah i agree. Once again no disrespect to Rob Medley but we shouldn't have to pay for that.

Hopefully the start of a comeback for boxing in Australia is finally realising that what Mundine and associated promotional companies are trying to tell us is the pinacle of international title boxing, is actually a fraud.. Hopefully the further fight fans move from the crap Mundine is peddling, the closer the might get to discoving the wealth of great boxing that goes on around the world.... However it can easily go the other way and people just think Australian and for that matter, International boxing is just boring and valueless....

Which has always been the most infuriating part of Mundine's career for me, is that he had captured the attention of a lot of the public here, either for the right or wrong reasons, but did nothing with it.. He had talent, and could have put boxing back on the map as a sport that Australia is a contender in... But he has only drawn attention to his unwillingness to break Australian borders...


We just gotta pray and wait for the next Kostya...

Yeah my toughts exactly. He did bring a boxing revival to the Australian public, but as you say let it stagnate. It seems to me that Green and probably Darchinyan (to a lesser extent) have now captured the attention of the public and they are now just realising Mundine has not much to sell and are prepared to wait for something more substantial before opening their wallets.

I'm pretty sure Kostya's got his boy Timophey moving up the amatuer ranks...
