Anthony Mundine vs Sugar Shane Mosely

[Dan Cooper]

For a man who has thrived on his own ego through two sporting careers - rugby & boxing - Mundine is surprisingly & uncharacteristically subdued in the lead up to this fight. Perhaps he has weight issues? Perhaps knowing that win or lose he isn't going to make any money is having an effect?

In the press conference video - see the shortcut below - Mundine looks and sounds like a guy lacking in confidence and perhaps headed for defeat >

I was reading yesterday that if Mundine weighs over the set limit, Mosley won't fight. When sugar headed home the first time they should of let him stay there

No doubt the way Golden Boy do business, if Mundine doesn't make weight Mosely won't be going home empty handed.

The way Mundine came across in that video it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't make weight. That just wasn't a focussed & prepared Mundine on display IMO.

I just watched the vid, Looks like a bloke who knows he just lost ALOT OF MONEY

Looks like both fighters made weight. They don't actually announce the weights in this weighin video, but if they hadn't made weight they wouldn't have been smiling >

Bilal Akkawy-Jacques Henrisson cancelled from the undercard, another fight may also be canned

The undercard is one of the worst assembled for a big fight in memory. They obviously didn't want to spend a cent on it, and didn't care what kind of mismatches it involved. Typical of Khoder Nasser & BOXA.

this is from that same article. I found this interesting to say the least.

The only fight featuring two fighters relatively evenly matched fighters, other than the main event, is Joseph Kwadjo (21-6) against Renold Quinlan (5-0) and NRL player Blake Ferguson on debut against fellow debutant Luke Turner.
The eight fight card will now be seven, or maybe six fights.
For Mundine, the dream is a crack at supremely gifted WBA super welterweight Floyd Mayweather, indisputably the world's best pound for pound boxer.

I am not even going to comment on the mayweather idea.......Ok I will, It is ludicrous.

I'd give Paul Kent the benefit of the doubt on that one. I think it's a tongue-in-cheek joke aimed at Mundine. He did say "dream", and that's all it is.

Everybody who follows the sport knows Mundine isn't even on Mayweather's radar. Never has been and very likely never will be

It's beyond ridiculous to suggest that he would be. That's what pissed me off about Mundine refusing the Trout fight, now a win against him would have got him into at least the ball park of Floyd, then maybe another couple of big fights (and wins) may have got him there. No way he would have beaten Trout though, and he knew it, so he shirked that one.

Looks like about 500 people have showed up for the undercard

These undercards are making me sleepy.

As for the main event if Mundine lasts 12 rounds I'll be impressed, reckon Sugar will win in 6-7 rounds with a TKO.

 

[hot dogs]

If anyone could pm me a stream to see the fight that would be great! Although I want to see this fight I can't really justify paying for it.
Cheers

Sorovi looks about 50.

Me neither mate, plus I couldn't stand the thought of putting even $1 into Mundine's pocket

 

[Dan Cooper]

Some big punches thrown in round 1 there.

Sorovi debuted in 1991

 

[Dan Cooper]

Aloua will surely wear Sorovi down.

 

[Dan Cooper]

...and he did. Aloua TKO 3.

An 8 rounder between Quinlan vs Kwadjo to come. Then Mosely vs Mundine.

 

[mattys123]

2 more undercards and then Mosley ends Mundine's farcical career.

 

[Dan Cooper]

Mosely looks cool as a cucumber. In good nick for a 42 year old.
