Mundine v Lacy for WBA strap!!

[zak]

I pretty much can't stand Mundine.

He's a turd of a human & a fairly dirty fighter...that being said...I think that he's got all the tools to give Lacy a damned hard fight.

Not sure that he could stand up to the power of Lacy though.

If Jeff would iron out his defense issues...I think that he'd be a damned impossible fighter to beat.

Honestly...I'm gonna have to lean towards Mundine pulling out a split decision over Jeff...either that...or the exact opposite (providing that Jeff is back to being Jeff now) & being a moron trying to trade with Lacy & getting blown out.

Mundine by SD.

Dont want to get into a slanging match here but if you met Anthony and spent 30 minutes talking to him i'm sure you would change your whole opinion. He is a gifted athlete who could represent his country in a number of sports. He is a role model to the Aboriginal youth of Australia. His message has always been no drugs, no drinking and no smoking. As for being a dirty fighter, thats just laughable. He is a walking headline because he says what he believes and wont back away from what he believes. From what i've seen of Jeff Lacy, Mundine does to him what he did to Danny Green, a boxing clinic.

If I met Mundine I would look him straight in the eye and ask him "you took shots from Antwuan Echols, Mikkel Kessler and a couple from Danny Grren. How in the hell did Sven Ottke lay you the F*** out?"

for 10 minutes personally I think he was faking! he just quit and layed there embarressed waiting for everyone to go away he damned near won the fight but definatley took it to early in his career.

A classic case of under estimating your opponent. Every boxing fan in the world knew the only way to take Ottke's title was to KO him. The Mundine Game plan was to walk right thru him,take him out early and not let it go to the judges. It is a known fact that Mundine did not one mile of roadwork in his prep. He was confident Ottke could not hurt him, what he failed to realise was Ottke was a very experienced,seasoned professional with a great amateur record as well. Mundine's lack of experience with only 10 pro fights and no amateur fights at all, found him out of gas after 9 rounds and Ottke knew it. Mundine had two choices after round 9, try to last another three rounds with Ottke all over him and take a loss and a beating as well or hit the canvas the first time Ottke lands a half decent shot. I firmly believe he chose the latter. Anyone who saw the Soliman fight, two fights earlier,where Mundine was spent after 8 rounds,had Sam had any power at all that fight would have ended the same way.
