"If my boy said he heard the bell, then he heard the bell !! ".....this was a famous quote from Ern McQuillan, when his protege - Tony Mundine was almost in a comotose state, and suddenly decided to walk back to his corner in the middle of the round (and there was no bell sound) and poor Tony was eventually knocked out by Kahu Mahanga.
What significance does this statement have? I didnt watch the fight, but I just have to say, that "if my boy, The Crusher said Anthony Mundine WON, then Anthony Mundine WON"....... Last edited by atigerofold; 01-30-2013 at 04:42 PM. |

Seems like many of the ESB posters and even the judges prefer to score ineffectual flurries that hit air, gloves or shoulders over jabs that land on face and skull.
I had the feeling that there was going to be some 'correcting' in this bout due to the (misguided imo) view that Geale won their first bout. Preconceptions like that can be very hard to dislodge, and so objective, accurate scoring just never gets a look in. I scored the bout 114-114 with a either two point variance in favour of Mundine or a one point variance in favour of Geale. Anything beyond these bounds looks like Special Olympics scoring to me. But with Aussie boxing's deification with 'workrate' and activity, however ineffectual, bout's today are won on whoever is the fittest. |
