Mundine does it easy

[BrooklyniteQueen]

Add another chump to the Mundine resume, now it's time for him to go after the big fights!
Yep, Froch would be good. Mundine has ability but when tested by good fighters (Kessler)he has fallen short of the mark. The next twelve months should sort things out with him one way or another.
A Calzaghe fight in Australia would attract huge numbers in Oz..40,000 attendance not out of the question.

You gotta give credit to Nievas, he's one tough guy. If you saw the fight he got hit with everything Mundine threw & still kept coming. He was just totally outclassed. Mundine coulda won the fight with his jab alone! I was quite disappointed Anthony didn't end it. Around then 9th, 10th & 11th Nievas looked ready to go & was getting caught by some big shots. But instead of pressing the issue Mundine choose to lay back & lay on the ropes a lot. I don't know it he was waiting for Nievas to punch himself out (which looked like his plan) but Mundine needed to keep the pressure on & end it!

From the sounds of it Mundine had hit him with everything and registered in his mind that he wasn't going to be able to stop the guy and decided to coast the final round or so because he didn't want to get caught with anything crazy.

I've always been a fan of mundine. I agree with Galaxy that mundine should have ended the fight against such a low ranked opponent, particularly if he wants people to take him seriously when he talks about how great he is. No doubt tho, like most boxers he will come out and say he let it go the distance because he wanted to get rounds "under his belt" or something similar.

Sometimes winning every round is more impressive than knocking a guy out. Take Calzaghe v Lacy for example.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Froch would KO mundine,these two boys need to face off, puts the winner in a great position.

At least one of there big gobs would be shut up

Froch beat mundine? Do u have any knowledge of boxing or are u just a massive british boxer fanboy. Kessler couldnt ko Mundine so what makes u think Froch can? Mundine has beat top guys in Green, Soliman and co, Froch hasnt beat a man ranked in the top 20 in his division! Danny Green is a similiar power hitter to Froch and Mundine schooled him. Please oh please actually put some facts behind your predictions just once!

Well, it looks like Calzaghe V Kessler will happen this year so a Mundine v Froch fight should be made.
I think he would do well against Froch.

The thing was it looked like Mundine could almost end things at any time. But instead of putting his punches together or even following up after the jab Mundine seemed contempt to just look for that one big shot! I'll say this... if he fights like he did last night against guys like Calzaghe & Kessler he'll get stopped!

Mundine does it easy

He did'nt do it as easy as I was hoping.

Thanks Galaxy CC from me. That's what I would have said too. Speaking to someone earlier they thought it may have been a way to give the fight more cred due to the criticism that was leveled at the fight. It's true too that a 12 round boxing display with 2 well matched (or at least equally experienced) fighters to win a fight is impressive and i enjoy that too eg: Hopkins v Tarver but I think mundine should have stopped an opponent who is ranked so far below him.

cc back bro, rankings aside it looked to me like Mundine was playing it safe! He hurt Nievas I think in the 3rd with a huge left hook... did Mundine jump on him? No. Anthony actually just sat back on the jab. Again in the 6th I think Mundine landed a crushing left to the body & you could see Nievas grimace & buckle a little. Again Mundine just sat back. All Mundine wanted to land was that one big straight right & a big right uppercut!

[bikersk]

Thanks dude. That is the impression I got too, that whenever he had him hurt he stepped back a bit instead of stepping it up to finish him.

[Tam Seddon]

Froch would stop him! this fight needs to happen for the sake of both men in the long run!

Froch would get stopped.

no way he would get stopped by Mundine, i just feel frochs sheer power behind him would be enough to stop the man. I feel he wouldnt have felt enough power like Frochs to last the distance and he would slow down after taking his uppercuts.

[Big Jack]

Don't forget Mundine can punch, too. The right hand she landed on Soliman would have stopped anyone

yer dont get me wrong it would be a good match up and i do believe it could go either way, i just feel that those brutal uppercuts i saw landing against frochs last fighter was enough to say his next fighter will get slowed down by them a lot. He throws them with so much authority and power and i believe it could be enough to stop Mundine.

Anthony Mundine retained his WBA super-middleweight title against rookie Pablo Daniel Zamora Nievas of Argentina at the Convention Centre in Broadbeach on Australia’s Gold Coast last night.

Mundine shoulda blasted this dude out, I mean from the sounds/looks of it when the wind blows Nievas is likely to hit the canvas....
I didn't see the fight sooo I'll have to wait 'till I can find it to give my full opinion on it...

[spanky-banky]

i watched the fight and to me it looked like mundine could have ended the fight when ever he pleased! ....i think he wanted to go late in the fight, after all it was just a tune up fight and what are u going to tune up if u ko the guy in 2 rds?

Mundine is fast and has great defense. Froch has to actually hit him to do damage. Kessler has more power than Froch and he couldnt get through the mans defense cleanly.
