A countdown to history: Updated with part 2

With mundine soon to become the pioneer by kicking the ass of austin trout I figured it would be a great idea to post a review of all of choc's fights one by one leading up to the history making fight.

"The Man" decided to save Australian boxing on the 3/7/00 against Gerrard Zohs a fighter with 20 fights, 10 wins, 9 losses and a draw. Weighing in at 74.9kg the man came out to pyrotechnics and LL Cool J blasting away on the speakers.

The fight itself was short but gave little snippets into the future greatness we as choc fans are all well used to seeing from him today.

Zohs tried a cheapshot as the fight began but paid for it later in the round as Choc put him down once with some wrestling and once with a punch. Mundine was novice like and at times tentative but managed to shoehorn in a first round bit of showboating. Choc dominated the fight as Zohs couldn't hurt him, in round 3 Choc ran into a shot but beat up on Zohs as punishment although both fighters fought at a slower pace. Round 4 saw Zohs have a good go at the beginning but Choc starched him midway through the round showing everyone he was right to pick up the gloves.

Mundine showed he was an athlete but looked amateurish throughout the fight as he loaded up constantly and his defence was awful, on the other hand it was clear his jab, left hook and right uppercut were going to be world class in the future. Mundine also looked distracted at times and was happy to touch gloves frequently despite his future misgivings about doing so.

A bit like how I find it not funny that you write for free in danny green's magazine and refer to yourself as a boxing writer. :hi:

 

I agree "magazine" was an overstatement. Good call. :hi:
