How much underweight can someone legally come to a fight at a given weight?? (I mean Green at cruiser was totally light, but that was IBO, not WBA...)
They used to do it all the time in the day....SMW fighting at HW weighing 78kgs Green was at least inside the CW range If Mundine fights Wood he may only be 74kgs fight night....no title involved so the weights wont make a difference IMO other than Khoder making sure Wood makes 76kgs.
If they're smart they'll either push for a catch-weight affair with Wood, under the limit, or just pay him to step aside. Wood will look to brawl him anyway, so it'll be a fight where stitches and injury are a major possibility. Time's a wastin' if they actually want to achieve something worthwhile out of Choc's career. One more major set-back and it's pretty well mothballs. They gained some momentum after the Geale win, even though he just got over the line, but from there, who in their worst nightmares would have anticipated the waste 2010 has become? Those of us who've continually said we'd get behind him if he ever stepped up may not even be held to that after all this time and the innumerable disappointments.
I'm quite prepared to say Mundines career is over. He will never fight a decent opponent ever again. :yep
i think he means decent as in ranked higher than 85....i guess waters is ranked 7 now so we cant complain. magically shot up about 40 places overnight
Mate I think the Waters fight is bad :deal I think Rise above means top 10 world wide...I would love to see it but knowing the team they wont do it....ever again dealdealdeal
i sadly agree. such a shame. all the bull**** showmanship aside i would love to see Mundine face a top yank and i would be there screaming the house down. such a waste of genuine raw talent. at least he wont retire a poor man
i remember the reason he didnt face kessler at SMW was cause he was dropping down to MW to dominate the division he called out pavlik, sturm, abraham... what happened there id like to know.. now its mayweather pacman and cotto he is calling out.. next he will be calling out vic darchinyan..
