Anthony Mundine's son is 2 and 0 in his professional career. What do the Aussie lads make of him? I think he can go far domestically and could get propelled for a shot if he's managed right. I'm not saying he's going to be a world champion because hes fought nobodies thus far and only two fights in. But he'll have the financial backing and know how to at least give him a shot at the highest level. When I say shot I mean conquer Australia first, then that's on him. He's years away from that at this stage. He's just a senior in high school ATM in boxing terms. Not even in college.
Brilliant pedigree, I can remember his grandfather Tony on TV Ringside back in the Baghdad days. I wish him all the best.
With a name and a father like that, there's plenty of this in his future.... This content is protected
He is fast and explosive he mimics his old man's style but his pretty raw so at the moment looks like a poor mans Anthony Mundine he needs to get the basic fundamentals down his feet are all over the place. He will learn on the job he has the backing to be brought along slowly as he has no amateur background because he was playing Rugby League but he couldn't make the NRL so he has switched to boxing. If he is brought along correctly I could see him being decent on the domestic scene and maybe winning an Australian title.
Yeah. No chin. None. The genetics aren't good here - don't think his grandad had a particularly good mandible either.
The Mundine glass jaw is a bit of a myth because of the Ottke fight which was only his 11th pro fight with no real amateur career. He went 12 rounds with the likes of Kessler, Echols and Danny Green who were all big punchers favored to KO him. The rest of his KO losses were in his late 30's early 40's.
I haven't seen enough to evaluate CJ at all. Hope he gives it a good crack. More Mundines the better.
Even glass jawed fighters don't get KOd in every fight, particularly those who have enough compensatory skill to, sometimes, protect their fragile mandibles. For me getting KOd by an utter featherfist like Ottke is a sure sign of a shaky mandible. Even if he never was KOd again, his chin would always have to be considered suspect.
