Amazing.

I never knew Newcastle had an entertainment centre.

 

Trouts team responds:


Team Trout: What is Anthony Mundine Talking About?*He Backed Out on Us and*We Can Prove it!!!

The problem with former world champion Anthony Mundine’s claims that he is*being ducked by WBA Light Middleweight champion Austin “No Doubt” Trout is*that when Mundine’s people backed out of the fight, they did it in writing.

Trout (23-0, 13 KOs) and his promoter, Greg Cohen of Greg Cohen Promotions,*say they are aggravated and disgusted by Mundine’s fraudulent claims that it*was them who backed out of a proposed fight. Mundine recently announced a deal to face Rigoberto Alvarez on September 21*for the WBA interim championship.

“I don’t mind he ducked me to fight somebody else, but don’t go to the press*and say it’s the other way around. At least let’s be honest if you don’t*want to fight me,” said a still incredulous Trout. “Fight me or admit it’s*you who doesn’t want to fight. Stop pretending. I’ll fight you any time.”

“We’d be happy to furnish the emails from his manager/promoter,” adds Cohen.*”We came to an agreement and I said ‘are we in agreement on this, this, this*and this? He said ‘all good.’ I sent the contract and didn’t hear from him*until I got another email saying ‘the new WBA rankings just came out and*Anthony has moved from #3 to #1, so we’re backing out of the deal. In the*deal we came up with, I was only getting one option on Mundine, but they*didn’t*want to give us any options. Now that their guy is the mandatory,*they don’t have to give us options. So, they made a business decision and*backed out… how Anthony Mundine then comes up with these outlandish stories*about us changing contracts and hiding from him and all this other stuff is*beyond me.”

Trout, who successfully defended his title against Sonora, Mexico’s David “The Destroyer” Lopez (40-13, 23 KOs) on June 11 at the Auditorio Miguel*Barragan in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, has been actively looking for a worthy*foe for his elective title defense and says it’s crazy to suggest he’s*avoiding anyone.

“I’ll still fight him as a mandatory. I don’t care. I’ll fight him any time.*If he wants to duck me, that’s up to him, but don’t blame it on me and try*to tarnish my reputation. I’m not avoiding anyone. I’m right here saying let’s*get it on! I will fight anyone, anywhere, call my promoter to make your offer!”

 

Have to admit Team Trout's version of events sounds more plausible.

 

Based on history alone its hard not to agree with Trout.

Mundine's career in recent years is littered with almost hundreds of false claims.

 

Edit:

I think my English is ****ed!

Having a moment on non-clarity with my original post! :nut

 

Mundine is the one with a long history of ducking and diving, so cohens version is probably more believable.

The 1 fight option part is still lame though. Its not needed and mundine has a right to gripe about it. Whether that is the real issue here because it was an adendum to the original negotiation??? Maybe.

I guess we'l see what happens IF mundine does become trouts mandatory.

 

Wasn't the one fight option just a rematch clause?

 

He will probably lose to Alvarez so it won't matter anyway.

 

who would you believe?

an arabic snake oil salesman with a history of backing out of fights?
or a manager/promoter with documented evidence?

 

Trout's version is almost identical to the Golovkin back down,He's a serial offender.!!!!

 

how the hell is it the same as Golovkin?

I can't see the issue. There is a big difference if you are manditory, for a start it takes out stupid options.

Trout tried to screw Mundine and Mundine checkmated him by becoming manditory. Just all part of boxing.

 

with due respect... you are one deluded man..that is all

 

****ing hell , Choc REALLY is the pioneer the blokes Ducked fighters in THREE decending weight divisions now ,i for one can't recall anyone ever doing that or even getting close to it , congratulations are in order ...:happy:happy:happy:happy
