Green & Mundine...how did it begin?

Fenech started the whole thing.

 

Its made both guys alot of money thats for sure.

 

Green will say that Mundine started it by calling him a bum, and Mundine will say that Green started it by wanting to fight him.

I'm fairly sure Fenech started it by telling Australia that Danny would beat him if they fought, then Mundine retaliated by calling Green a bum, ect, and the rest is history as they say.

Though sadly I feel theres more to this beaten to death story.

 

yeh and green followed. He criticised mundine for the fact that he was a rugby player and not a real boxer.

 

I remember the heated interview with Choc and Fenech where Jeff had a t shirt with floats like a butterfly on the front and sleeps like a log on the back with Mundine out cold after Ottke lol. I remember wanting one of them.

 

I think Oztriker may have made those shirts. I remember him tellimg me Fenech bought 20 shirts off him that he made. I can't remember if it was that one, but I know it had Mundine's KO loss to Ottke on it.

 

Green was an up and coming SMW after doing well at the Shi-do-nay Olympic games, Fenech was looking to find a fighter that could knock Mundine down a peg or two, Green ascended the ranks well, Mundine avoided him (YES, TRUE!!!).

It got personal when Mundine called Green a bum.

They don't hate each other, that was a carry-over from Green's Fenech days, it was basically a case of the 2 best SMW's in Australia pitting their talents against each other and unfortunately Green came up short when they finally did.

But I tell you, if they rematch, I'm gonna go for Green again, because I think he will be a different beast second time around - what he did in their fight was damn stupid, and he will have more sense about him second time around.

 

You sound like me with a Mundine Kessler rematch

 

Green's body seems to suit LHW more than SMW. They could have fought ten times at SMW and mundine would have beaten him every time.

At LHW Green has more of a chance but I would give mundine the edge 60-40 as Mundine is comforatable at the higher weight too, from his NRL days.

i probably wouldn't watch it mind.

 

Green definitely looks healthier at LHW.

The 'sickest' I've seen him was at SMW when he fought Mundine, he basically chased the body all night, and Mundine toyed with him.

I can only hope that if they do rematch at LHW, he'll have a clear mind and a plan B to fall back on, because his first showing vs Mundine was pretty ****ing ordinary.

Whenever I see a fight like Green vs Mundine, I'm always shouting "STOP CHASING THE SKINNY WEE ****, LET HIM COME TO YOU!!!"

 

Just out of curiosity how did everyone score that fight?
I had it 118-111....to Mundine obviously...

 

So your comfortably with a rematch unlike others who think its a waste of time?

I think a fight against Kessler would be a good fight.

 

I had it 118 - 110.

 

Wll bring on the rematch then.
