I wrote in another post: "I would love to hear the first words out of Khoder Nasser's mouth after the Geale fight." Haven't heard much on that front for a while but I'd be surprised if there's not a story or an outburst around the corner. To be objective it is Choc 1 Geale 0. There is still 12 rounds to go and to think this will be any kind of formality would be forgetful bordering on delusional. It could go 2-0 in an almighty middle finger kind of way or the cleaners will be giving Choc a nudge with a broom handle at 7 am. Either way I would love to be a fly on the wall when Khoder is made aware of the result. For all I know he may even attend, does anyone know the situation?
Mundine's last interview was very amicable towards him but I doubt it would've been in reality. Nasser seems quite boring and irrelevant in the public eye. Mundine won't go down without a chirp and if he wins he'll be taking on the world. He can't exactly say "I dedicate this win to Gealy's missus, get a dog up ya luv." He's already been nailed for that one. So I figure he'll either push for 2 national sorry day per year or ask Nasser to shine his shoes.
Nigel whats the inside gossip on the split between Anthony and Nasser. What exactly do you know bro ?
Not enough. I've heard that in professional circles a cooling off period is agreed upon where you don't poach staff, bad mouth ex colleagues to clients, trade industry secrets etc. and can only assume that this is what has happened. Enough of bashing on Mundine but his mouth is his signature move, it's a weapon in his arsenal and he would be the first to admit it. It's is the only bridge he hasn't crossed, let alone burned. Having such a successful relationship perhaps a future book deal has already been signed. Mundine still even says Nasser is the best in the business. Anyone who can shut him up for a little while is pretty smart. It's just conspicuously quiet in regards to that issue and I don't recall any spat that was any more than a brief article.
-I heard of his split with Nasser -Avoids Trout to fight McKart -Arm chair expert calls it career suicide, expect subsequent nosedive -World Title fight Fair play to the guy. WTF just happened?
Avoided a WTF to fight a nobody in LV in front of 240 people to return here and finally rematch Geale.....begrudgingly earning Geale a massive payday. Yep, that went well.
Who needs a manager? What else was he going to do, beat Trout? One starfish in LV and its game over anyway.
If Nasser was in charge of the last one and there were complaints, what is going to be better/different in this fight?
What will be different....less grubs running around the ring wording up judges, hopefully point deductions for tape coming off gloves, correct calls for knockdowns, and highly likely, Geale dominates throughout for a clear and decisive victory....you would hope for atleast the clear victory.....that much Geale can be in control of.
