I am with don't bowl there. Green is an excuse-loving Weavil who, if he wasn't Western Australian, would be hated for his smug self-satfisfactfion by everyone here.

Plus he's not that good.

I'm with you guys too. He annoys the crap out of me. That doesn't mean I like Mundine BTW - it's not a one or the other thing... They're both ********s IMO. But at least Mundine is entertaining - you can laugh at him for the way he carries on... Green on the other hand is definitely a passive agressive knobend. The arrogance of both of them is off the scale.

But meh - good on him for working hard and becoming a world champion... even if I find his particular sport meaningless and rather distasteful.
 
If a boxer wasn't full of himself and a little passive aggressive then he'd be useless at his sport.
If you don't have the hyper inflated ego plus be convinced your a "highly calibrated damage machine", for want of a better term, then you'd not be a good boxer, and most likely get hurt.
Guys - point me out a boxer who hasn't got a bit of the knobhead in them.
The all have it.... plus getting hit in the head so much is not going to be beneficial for your social skills.

There is only 3 or 4 kilo's betwen super middle weight and light heavy weight, if Mundine wants to fight Green he'll have no problem added those few kilos.

Yes but the important bit is that Danny Green doesn't have to shred to get to the weight. Losing those extra few kilos can take a lot out of you, right Memories

Yeah it's definately an advantage for Green but it's not a disadvantage for Mungbean because it's only a couple of kilo's. Fighting at light heavy weight won't be an excuse if Green beats Mundine.

I can't recall his name, but the Fremantle runner and boxing coach was the referee for all the fights on the undercard. He trains some full time fighters too.

The best part of the night at Challenge Stadium was the stand off between the cops and rebels. Looked like we were going to see an old fashioned showdown when they cleared the adjoining tables. Unfortunately it was during the Kickett fight and most of my interest was directed outside of the ring.

Surprised at the level of hatred levelled at Green on here. Seems like one of very few gentlemen in a sport full of tossers to me.
 
Boxing is all about stories. Strories and representing something. It could be like that English fighter from the 20s and 30s who was still running around 50 years later, convinced he was a young blade, up for a bit with the ladies gagging for it. Or it could be any of the black Americans, carrying the weight for your people. or, for that matter, any of the Great White Hopes, trying valiantly to fly the flag for stupid white people everywhere.
Or it could be Lionel Rose, young of the greatest Australian sportsmen, fighting more than just the bloke opposite him.

Green stands for what? What's his story? He stands for Green and he's just not that good.

I went for Mundine in the Green v Mundine fight at the Floreat pub, probably a few hundred people there and I rekon 5 Mundine supporters.

Our cricket team got together around one blokes house to watch the fight and only one of us was backing Mundine.

He'd spent the previous month engaging in the kind of trash talking that would make the Man proud and had manage to goad half the team into making bets with him.

He won enough cartons of piss that night to last him the rest of the season.

I don't get your point. Because Danny Green is an educated middle class white guy you don't like him?

Well done Danny.But don't make the same mistake that so many past fighters have made,and come back at some time.Once gone the past sometimes become bigger and better than it was.Don't get sucked in,remember Jimmy Carruthers,a great world champion who came back and was a mere shadow of the fighter he was.
Hopefully Jeff Fenech will regather his marbles before he makes the same mistake.
Thogh I am not a Mundine fan( I have the same feeling for the scum up the road)there is no disgrace being beaten by him.There will be many fighters who will wish they had not taken him on in the future.
He was smart enough to fight Danny on his terms.He waited until he was ready for the fight,and we all know the result.Had he fought Danny four years prior Danny would have made mince meat of him.Dumb but clever.
Well done Danny Our world champ.

too old and underweight, as you said.

Mundine timed it beautifully, had he met him a few years ago in his prime regardless of the weight, it may have been a different story.
 
Green came out of the Mundine fight with his credibility gone. He went from saying he was going to knock out Mundine to trying to outbox him. Everyone knew Mundine was a better boxer, but people thought Green was a good chance for the knockout considering Mundine's glass jaw. The only people who won that day were Mundine, and the bookies who cleaned up on the betting plunge on Green.

Definitely. Mundine was too much of a pussy to fight when green wanted, then when green started to wane as a boxer mundine suddenly felt confident. What a chump, green would have smashed him at light heavy as well :thumbsu:

hes not a chump. Mundine had to wait till he was ready as much as he waited till Green was past it. He was still learning for a good 5 years. before the Green fight Mundine wasnt half the boxer he is post-Green fight.
