I think the word "poor" is an understatement. Don't expect to see any improvement in Green's next 2 oppoenets either. Just saw on fightnews.com the circus, . . . oops I mean REMATCH is scheduled for early 2010. Guess I was right afterall saying it would happen in around 12 months time. Mundine will fight Geale to pick up a meaningless worldtitle belt and call it a day at MW. He will then announce a move to LHW, and proceed to have a couple of fights to get used to the weight against cab drivers. Please try and contain my excitement.
This is exactly what will happen. Mundine will beat geale for the IBO 160 belt then proclaim that he is the middle king, similar to Hagler and Hopkins. No way in the world will he fight Sturm in Germany and risk losing (i think Sturm would beat him at this stage) before his big $$$$ bout with Green at 175. So in summary i predict Mundine beats Geale comfortably on points then says Pavlik/Abraham/Sturm won't come to the party and then moves up to 175 and fights 2 bums to get ready for Green. Don't be surprised if the Green-Mundine bout is for a WBF or WBU 175 belt then Anthony can retire and say he is a 4 time 3 weight world champ and P4P king when in reality he has never won a world title belt.
Mainevnet has gone mad, the site says that the Green Vs Van Niekirk is gonna be $50. Stone the ****ing crows I wouldn't pay $14:95 let alone $50.
I wouldn't watch the sparring session if mainevent paid me $50 to watch it. Who the hell would pay $50 to watch that ?
When did Green come out of retirement? When I left Oz in December he looked in his element poncing aout on some celebrity ice skating show. Why did he change his mind?
Green fights usually have fairly decent undercards on them, and I dare say guys like Kegsy and crazy Leon will be buying them just for that. Then you've got your shiners, and your left nut danny's who'll be sending the kiddies to bed early so they can whip out the lubricant and go to work on themselves while the Main events on.
Nuts. He gives up his world title to retire only to return less than a year later. If it was just a year off he wanted he probably could have held on to the title with a few porkies as to when he was able to fight.
