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

Yeah but what Nasser considers a very attractive offer and what actually is may be two completely different things.

 

Isaac Hlatshwayo is a very polished fighter, he was far
too classy for Medley - but Rob looks to have taken a lot
of improvement out of both fights, I noticed that Medleys
defence has improved a lot, he uses a shoulder roll defence
more thesedays.

Hlatshwayo went 12 rounds with Kendal Holt, who pushed
Tim Bradley to 12 in an even fight.

Mundine, although a larger man, wouldnt be on Hlatshwayos
level - IMO, I dont think Mundine comes anywhere close.

In saying all this, Medley did get fair schooled by Isaac, but
taking into consideration improvement - and Mundine possibly
been on the decline - I dont see it as a pushover for Mundine at all.

 

Agree 100% mate.:good

 

C'mon mate. You must be on the wind up with this post. Ridiculous comment. Medley would struggle against Shannon Taylor at 160 if they ever fought.

 

I'm not a Mundine fan either. But it was probably worth noting in light of most people saying Mundine didn't make Sakio an offer. I heard it was a decent offer but then again, it may be off.

 

there ya go...

 

Mundine is a MW :rasta.....what weight did you think it was at :huh

 

Awesome name!

 

Providing Medley can keep things into check, whilst moving
up to 160, then I dont think Mundine beats him as easily
as he beat Taylor.

Robs a tall kid, you put some muscle on that frame in the
right way and we have a fight, yes its not as simple as that
I know, but all things considered - the formlines through Isaac are
at least promising, I rate Isaac very highly, he was tipped
to fight Hatton, before Ricky landed the Pac fight.

Going up in weight will to be tough for Medley, but he is
the right height for it, just needs to add some muscle.

I dont think this fight will happen, but if it does, im very
confident that Medley will give a good account of himself.

But, Id much rather see Mundine fight Bika, that fight
makes far more sense, its ridiculous that Mundine would
duck Bika - to fight Medley, but its a Mundine thing to do.

 

I thought his next fight was out of Australia? You can't tell me that he cannot find one legit boxer to contest :bart or was his so called ring dominance shook up from Tassie boy Geale :deal

Fair enough mate if thats what you think, but i just don't see Medley doing much at all against Mundine at 160. In fact i would be quite shocked if Medley could win more than 2 out of 12 rds. Your right in that if Mundine doesn't look overseas for a credible opponent then he should be fighting Bika at a reasonable catchweight. I suspect that Mundine and his camp think that Bika would be too awkward and tough an opponent and might put a speed bump into Mundine's neverending dream of world dominance. For the record i would still pick a fading Mundine to win a decision over Bika at a reasonable catchweight but Mundine obviously doesn't fancy the job.

 

to be honest I think Mundine will lose against Bika..Bika hits pretty hard for Mundine's liking.

 

Dont agree ranser.........we all know Bikas got power, rough house tactics and a big punch....but that doesn't necessarily mean he can translate that into the ring vs Mundine.

Bika has KO'ed walk up fighters and fighters that trade in the zone however Mundine wont do that with Bika.

Bika failed to put away smaller guys like Soliman and McGary because they don't stand in the zone and the only reason he dropped Codrington was because of the toe to toe nature of the fight....Bika was almost gone as well a few times during that fight.

End of the day I would like to see Bika VS Mundine because its a big fight for AUST......however Mundine has the superior skills and Bikas wild style will be made to look far worse than it is by Mundine evasion and speedy attack.

And to top this all off he failed to KO Rico Chong Nee

 

Mundine no longer has the strength at MW, nor the stamina in general, to keep someone as strong as Bika off him for 12 rounds now.

That would be why he is ducking him and looking for easier options, like the Fijian ODLH.

 

Tend to agree IBM, but don't forget Bika is walking around a long way above middleweight at present and hasn't fought at middle for about 3 or 4 years.

If Bika stayed as strong as he is now at middleweight he'd beat Mundine - but the question is would he stay as strong, or at least strong enough to do the job?
