I didn't see it either but in two miute highlight reel I saw punches landed (from Geales right hand) that i assume would put Mundine away if landed by a powerful puncher.
PorkChop..... Mundine was definately out punched..IMO. Effective punches being in Mundines favour.. IMO. Last night showed Mundine being put to task for the full journey by a hungrier, fitter and less skilled oppenent. Geale showed his utmost ability and allowed us to see the first sign of life from Mundine is a long time. Mundines general ability to read the punches gave him a better standing through the fight. My diplomatic view.....
The main thing that troubled Mundine imo was Geale's incredible workrate throughout so Anthony won't dare go anywhere near someone like Pavlik or Paul Williams at 160.
Yeah Paul Williams could **** Mundine up with his accuracy and great all round skill not to mention punches coming from angles Mundine has never faced before. The Pavlik machine in my mind is not a scary thought. The way he fights can be very predictable but he does have good reach, a double jab followed by a walloping right. I think Mundine can beat Sturm easier than Geale imo.
Its a great fight best one for a while in australia.....you will enjoy it I thought Geale went much better than expected.....I am a Geale fan since the Dawson fight and have seen hime 4 or 5 times before. He showed he has a great workrate and good evasion...he does throw some big punches as well but the big shots missed the mark.. The fight could have been a draw but because of Geale being down in the second Mundine had the edge on the card...lots of close rounds with the general thought being Geale threw more but Mundine threw the cleaner punches. On Mundine I think hes still got more in him....the fight Wednesday proved that beyond any doubt. Mundine was slick, fast, evasive and on the front foot. Mundine did mix it alot more than expected and hence he got hit more by Geale...but most punchers from Geale were in bunches an deflected off everything, gloves, shoulders and head....so while it looked good it was not clean....thats why he lost. Mundine hurt Geale 4 or 5 times.....Geale hurt Mundine 1 or 2 times. Mundine still has legs in him.....however I dont think he can beat any of the top 3 in MW....it was the same story in SMW. As a hugger I want him to pick off the vacant and regular belts beating top 5 to 15's for the next few years because getting KTFO by PAV wont do him any favors. I know you guys want him to step up so he can get KTFO but dont hold your breath......if you expect less from Mundine it wont bother you :thumbsup
No, I want Mundine to step it up coz he's p4p king of the world and the greatest athlete Australia has ever produced..
It would be funny if Golden Boy does make the fight between PAV and Mundine and by some small chance Mundine wins....that will **** all you haters up :yep
Haha, look if stepped it up and beat Pavlik I would take my hat off to him, that's backing up the talk..
Mundine talks a better talk than most fighters......but I have some breaking news......."Mundine wont fight the big boys"....its all trash talk to get more people interested in the fight. And if Mundines ripping off the public fighting Geale than thats a poor view :deal
Geale has even less power than Malignaggi,thats the only reason Choc took the fight.If he had any power at all he would of put Choc to sleep.And Mundine wont fight Pavlick or anyone of note,he is just throwing Pavlicks name out there to get some notoriety. Both these guys will get run over on the world stage,they just dont have any pop.
