Good to see the people accept the 154

yep! ill admit i didnt think he could do it, bloody good effort by him and his conditioning/nutrition staff.... what weight did he come in at? did he look crazy drained?

 

He's boiled himself down to a weight that he looks anorexic at, only to rehydrate back up to a healthier weight by fight time.

He's not doing anything new, and he won't be at 154 at fight time.

Just another circus trick to distract from the fact that he ducked rematches with Kessler and Geale.

 

Oh I know ced, everyone does it, DLH was a great one for boiling down to make weight and then coming in at a much higher weight - look at him vs Gatti - it was like watching a MW vs a WW.

I just think it's funny how the nuthuggers (not you, I know) are saying he's made 154 as if it's some huge achievement.

On a grand scale, what import does Mundine boiling down to 154 to fight a career WW have when everyone knows he'll be coming into the ring at MW anyway?

Its all just distraction from the fact that he ran away from 168 to avoid a rematch with Kessler and he ran away from 160 to avoid a rematch with Geale.

Trying to spin it to make out he's a 'pioneer' by moving down is just him trying to polish a turd.

 

not everyone can recover in 24hrs, and thats what its all about. RECOVERY... some do it well as mentioned, others no so much. Depends on your makeup really. and the fact that mundine has never done it, along with the fact he is 35, makes me think he will be ODLH (circa Pac fight) like....

A walking corpse in the ring.

Which, as IrnBru said, shouldnt be a problem when you are fighting a career welterweight cab driver from South America.

 

I will have another guess....choc will have loads of energy and power and will go great...the guy hes fighting is very average so I look forward to a better test but im guessing he will KO this guy :deal

 

forgot to say hi marcus

I think maybe we are reading into the weight thing a bit to much,we are used to seing choc at super middle most of his career, of coarse he looks much skinnier now in comparison,but that doesnt mean he is unhealthy. I dont think he looks that bad to be honest, he obviously looks bad compared to how he used to look, but there are heaps of fighters who boil down to a low weight whilst looking gaunt at the same time, and they look fine in the ring.

It all depends on how choc lost the weight,if he did it corectly he will be fine. He looks fine to me when i compare his frame and weight to other world class fighters. Choc should of started his career at super welter as he has a naturally small frame and not that tall, 5,10 n a half, a lot of kooris have a small,thin athletic frame THATS WITHOUT THE WEIGHT TRAINING.

 

I think he will be full of beans tonight also, dont think he looks that bad at the weight, we will find out tonight, but i aint gona watch it, got my road work at the natio which is more important than this mismatch, the argie looks like hes here ONLY FOR THE PAY DAY, he got this i couldnt give a **** look on his face, i hope im wrong.

 

The Argie wasn't brought here to set the night alight with action. Mandy is not here for any reason better.

Both getting a pay day.

 

Yes but we hope the argie at least trained hard for this and tries to have a go and not dive, some fighters are talented but have no dicipline,maybe he puts in a decent effort.:good

 

Yeah its incredible that Mundine has made weight, especially since they used scales provided by team Mundine, overseen by Derek Milham.

Judging by Sherringtons report, the Argie has no chance.
