    Yes he was otherwise Mundine would of hijacked the interview. They only have a set amount of time.

    It was clear from the word go, he had an Anti Mundine agenda, HE claims they didn't want him talking about the Racial statements, but its the only reason they were on the show today, if Choc hadn;t of made the statements last week, He and Geale wouldn't have been on the show today.... They may have been closer to the fight but not today,

    How could he not have an anti mundine agenda honestly, if he was seen to be placid toward mundine the public would have thrown him to the dogs, they wanted to see mundine put in his place somewhat, and he bought that upon himself, i thought he did well by giving them both equal shares of talktime.

    That was a poor face off.

    Fair play to Choc for apologising to Geale and he seemed sincere and I think the body language of the handshake from Choc speaks more volume than his words.

    In any case, Ken Sutcliffe is a poor host.

    Choc took about 2 mins, 3 mins tops to say his peace.

    Why rush him or keep the segment contained to 7-8 mins when there is absolutely no live programming the entire day. This should have been a 12-15 minute segment.

    The footy show runs 30 mins over time almost every week. This was a much anticipated event, the two guys meeting after the press conference, why not let it play out a bit longer.

    Sutcliffe clearly isn't capable asking relevant questions about the specifics of the fight, so I guess that's where the limitations lay with the format.

    Sutcliffe has been on my nerves since his appalling hosting of the Olympics so this just took my frustration to another level.

    **** mate your inner hugger is really showing as the fight draws nearer. Ken was being fair to Geale and allowing them both equal air time. Choc wanted to take up the whole 8 minute segment with his usual self hyped over dramatic bull****.

    I agree completely.

    The reason they were on the show was because of the press conference and the controversies from it.

    Sutcliffe stopped Mundine from hijacking the segment, otherwise Geale wouldn't have gotten a chance to speak.

    Instead of just letting it go at the apology, Mundine wanted some mileage out of his racist remarks by trying to make out it's all about how much of a saint he is for 'his people'.

    He ended up coming across like even more of an idiot, throwing the black power salute and going on about 'if we're separated we're like an open fist like a fan' - Geale just left him swinging in the breeze on that :lol:

    What an idiot.

    I wouldn't regard myself as a hugger, Do I hope he wins the fight... **** yeah, I won't deny that.

    I just don't let other peoples thoughts and comments consume my days and nights, If Mundine wants to say ridiculous things, that's on him, I aint gonna lose any sleep over it.

    You could tell that Mundine was so eager to get his little open/closed fist analogy out, yet Sutcliffe and co werent having any part of it, nor were they awed at all.

    Poor Choc.

    Love or hate Choc it has nothing to do with it, Sutcliffe ****ed the segment, it could have been quite good but he rooted it without a rubber
