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

Speed and evasion negates power and messes up timing.....Bika is wild and lacks timing when he has a guy planted solid in front of him.....he wont catch Mundine and Mundine wont trade like he did with Geale.

Bika will be drained at MW and will die in the ass trying to catch Mundine.

The fight wont be on as Bika wont go to MW and Mundine is happy at MW......SMW is blocked out.

Anyway Bika is at LHW anyway.....I don't think the fight will get made

 

If the Mundine vs Bika fight did happen. It would be better for Mundine to fight at 168. I think hes under rated in 168. Hes very tough. Obviously so is Bika. But it would be a wide points decision to Mundine, or Bika would come back similar to Bute vs Andrade. Either way there is a lot of money in the fight. Maybe the weight difference was a factor. Mundine moving straight back up to 168, is as stupid as fighting at 160 for a title in his first fight at the weight (he took tune ups).

 

I would much rather see Mundine V Bika at 168 than Mundine V Geale again at 160. Mundine is simply better suited to 168 and Geale's performance was great, he fought out of his skin but i doubt he could do the same in a rematch.

 

Tend to agree :admin:rofl

 

Agree with the first part Francis but not so sure about the second.

Geale performed very well first time around, no question. So well in fact that 1 of the 3 judges had him the winner on the night, and 2 of the 3 judges who reviewed the decision had him the winner. Conclusion = very close fight.

Geale is young, improving and appears hungry for success. To be brutally frank neither of those three apply to Mundine, at least not in the same measures.

If Geale and Mundine were to meet in say 5 or 6 months time I see no good reason why Geale couldn't win. Certainly don't see Mundine KOing Geale, and if it's a matter of who does more it's pointing more towards Geale IMO.

 

What do you think Teke?

 

So Lyell has turned down Geale. Jack Leow must really hate Aussies.

As posted a few days ago in a different thread:

Commercially I think Mundine's management are crazy! The public interest is there right now for the mandatory rematch with Geale.

If the Green vs RJJ thing comes off it'll put everything else in the background for sometime, and by next year most fringe fight fans will have forgotten the great battle that was Geale v Mundine I.

So why put off the inevitable with a career padding tune-up fight each that they are struggling to get opponents for?

(Lyell wasn't going to be a push-over for Geale - but let's see who he ends up in with, and Mundine vs Medley promises to be less than an epic)

Get the real deal made now and get on with it!

 

Look at Green VS Mundine mate....years in the making....I think the more this fight is put off the better....needs more drama and ****-fighting before its time again.....I think early to mid next year is fine.

 

And at what weight, Bika won't fight him at middle.

 

The only likelyhood that these two will meet again is over this IBO title - which means a pre Feb 2010 deadline.

Some may still be interested by then, but Joe average, who makes up the major percentage of any walk-up attendance or PPV, may well have gone cold on the idea post Green v RJJ.

Striking while the iron's hot usually makes good business sense.

 

The only way Mundine gets an extension on the Feb date is if Mundine and Geale do a co promotion in Tazzie similar to what has been proposed.....However he may also get an extension if he licks his contact lens again :yep

 

Probably the older the version of Mundine that's served up the better from Geale's point of view!

But hey, if they want to maximise the money out of this thing, now's the time. Do it while the interest is there!

 

How does he do it! racking in the cash in these bull**** fights, what a fraud. A local Phenomenon, its incredible this ass wipe even has a career.
