Well the arguement on Mundine's side before the fight was that he "can't get himself up anymore for these fights with nobody's"... (the obvious response is stop taking fights with bums them)....
To the point though, don't be surprised if he moves to the US to get knocked out by a C grade US fighter as well....
He is saying that for these guys he's been fighting, it's the equivalent of them fighting a prime Hopkins or Roy Jones,, in regards to being motivated to topple the giant... But for Mundine it's hard to be motivated for such fights....
So don't be surprised if he continues on after this, just aiming to get knocked out by a slightly more well known cab driver....
It's funny Otley said that Mundine is everything that is wrong with boxing and has giving nothing to Pro boxing... But on the radio on the way home on a sports channel, they were just commenting on hour great Mundine was for Australian boxing and how much he gave to it, and how good it's been to have him around......
THAT is the problem with AUSTRALIAN boxing!!!! They hype up a man like Mundine to the point of making out to be P4P champion of the universe,,, then 95% of sports fan's in Australia think boxing doesn't go very far past Mundine..... Which is about as far from reality as you can get..
In that respect, having Mundine fighting for "championship belts" for the past 15 years has actually hurt Australian boxing and brought it down to an almost shameful level for most of the mainstream sports fan....
You would actually be surprised of how little general sports fans and general public think of boxing here a sport... Even because of the violent side of it... Yet they are all over UFC/MMA.... Why? Because we don't have a C class MMA fighter here being touted as the be all and end all of the sport, and a complete ignorance of the rest of the sport by pretty much every aspect of the media....
The quicker Mundine goes away, the better chance we have of getting rid of his big ugly shadow, and maybe see some really ACTUAL promising fighters coming through who we can get behind...
RIP KT from Australian Boxing..... He was a once in a life time blessing by the looks of it..
