mundines ko by ottke

Loaded gloves.

Thread closed.

 

There is more to this than meets the eyes :yep

 

Where can I send that bale of hay to Teke?

 

Mundine was cometely fatigued and it was the easiest way out for him, he didn't even spar back in those days so he was in completely uncharted waters.
I have been waiting to see how his career panned out to see if this assesment was correct, and after watching him completly waste his talent I believe this to be correct,because in the back of his mind the decision he made that night obviously still haunts him.

People need to remember only a chin shot knocks you out like that a temple shot affects your equilibrium and makes you disorientsted but doesn't knock you cold.

I hope He proves me wrong next year by defeating a top 5 guy but I think the demons won't let him take the chance.

 

So you're saying Mundine took a dive?
I disagree.
I think he was out of it and went down like he did due to the fatigue he was experiencing, and due to the fact that the punch hit him in the sweet spot.

 

...and of course because Ottke had loaded gloves.

 

I agree it could have been fatigue but you don't close your eyes like that and go to sleep from fatigue and that punch.

At the end of the day it was an awesome effort at that stage of his career and without any sparring but I do believe that this one fight is the reason Mundine hasn't realized his potential due to lack of real confidence.

 

His KO and the one that RJJ copped from Johnson was made worse by how hard their head hit the canvas. Both bounce beautifully

 

That loss certainly did haunt him for a long time, perhaps it still does.
He became totally unwilling to engage for a while after that. Even though he beat Echolls, he looked more like a guy fighting for survival rather than someone trying to knock his opponent out.

 

Was just about to say, in both cases the heads bouncing off the canvases were harder then the actual shots !

 

Roys one was a particularly good firm bounce

 

Good call but the fight has affected his career and direction the only reason you would drop a division at his age is if you were trying to get away from the power, even the Jap scared him and made him remember his fears.

 

I've been dissecting some of your posts over the last couple of weeks and to be honest haven't really given them much credit. But on this occassion, i cannot disagree with you and any aspect on the above paragraph.

 

Kel,
I didn't come on here to make friends but I eat, sleep and **** boxing and have read these forums for a few years and although I have been attacked by a few people I am not going anywhere, and am really enjoying my experience here, I think my wife thinks I am having an affairatsch
