Here we go again........Mundine steps up!

Oh well.....it could have been worse :yep

Mundine VS Medley then winner takes on Geale is not so bad......is it :huh

 

Confusing to say the least! The article begins with...

'Grange promoter Treacy is negotiating with Mundine’s manager Nasser for “The Man” to defend his IBO middleweight boxing world title against Robert Medley in Tasmania in October'.

Plainly, with the mandatory ordered by the IBO against Geale by Feb 27, Mundine cannot defend the title in October against Medley!

Could be wrong here, but it sounds like Mundine's mob are trying to con Geale's using the Tassie venue as the carrot, and then putting Medley before Geale in the pecking order.

Geale's mob would want the conditions for this thing set in stone! Better still tell them to bugger off!

What happens if Mundine is allowed to defend against Medley. Medley wins the title, and then doesn't want a part of Geale?

 

Then its Medley for PM

 

Gee, all that talk of Sturm, Pavlik, Abraham has suddenly changed to talk of Medley, Bika and Geale :roll:

 

Wouldn't trust team Mundine, full stop.

The mandatory is in place - if team Geale forgo it they are fairdinkum stooges.

 

hmm as a big fan of Mundine - slowly dwindling - reading this **** is just beyond a joke now. When he's going to fight someone on the world stage, can someone just put a new thread up with all caps saying "PORKY, IT'S HAPPENING" until then, I'll just avoid these Mundine threads. Its better for my health and the health of those around me.

 

Medleys the obvious choice for mandy. He's a good little fighter, not great though. Has stepped up twice & got soundly beaten by a welter. Why would Mandy bother to fight Pavlik, Sturm or rematch Geale when a mouth watering fight is right there in Medley. And this is no offense to Rob, good for him, hope he gets some $$$$ but if this fight goes ahead then it speaks voumes on how serious Mandy is in fighting the worlds best.

 

Excellent post! Thing is this thread, this fight and this post should be happening in 2004. Not 2009. That's the whole problem right there!

 

What has the fact that the IBO deemed, on the evidence of their previous bout, that Mundine must defend against Geale, got to do with Medley?

Surely if Medley challenges legitimately for the title and wins it, the previous 'mandatory' baggage no longer applies.

Frankly, I can't understand how Mundine can defend this title unless against Geale, and if things can really work otherwise I'm more confused than usual!

 

Ditto!

 

jesus h christ, what a joke

 

im going to have to side with ashley and teke here.this fight wont happen as the man has bigger fish to fry as geale was just a stepping stone to the international scene.

see the man himself said so.:deal

 

There you go, Mundine has finally waived the white and chooses to fight on a domestic level until retirement.

Very Sad :-( :-( :-(
