    Is Anthony Mundine a man or a mouse?

    Is Anthony Mundine a man or a mouse ... have your say using our feedback form below. Source: AP



    AFTER Anthony Mundine controversially stole Daniel Geale's IBO middleweight title in May, the boxing world was cynical about the Man's intention to give his vanquished opponent a rematch.

    And they would have been feeling justified last night, when the IBO revealed Mundine will relinquish the belt instead of complying with its order to fight Geale again.
    While the Tasmanian's protest failed to have the result overturned, IBO delegates ruled that a rematch had to take place prior to February 27 next year because the first bout was so evenly split.
    But the IBO's Australian delegate Phil Austin confirmed Mundine does not intend to comply, meaning the belt will be handed back in the coming weeks. "He's decided to relinquish the belt," Austin said. "Anthony is now dropping down to junior middleweight.
    "It will become officially vacant when he sends in his bands for his next fight [against Robert Medley] on 11 January."

    Medley and Geale are stablemates of Grange Old School Boxing. Many insiders believe Medley has only become Mundine's next opponent because the former NRL star needed to appease Grange for not giving Geale a rematch.
    The pair will fight in Sydney, and the heavily tattooed Medley is considered a dangerous prospect for Mundine at the lighter weight division. Austin said Geale would automatically get the first shot at regaining his belt early next year. An opponent for the soon-to-be vacated title is yet to be confirmed.
    "We installed Daniel Geale as a mandatory opponent for Mundine by 27 February next year, because we had high regard for his ability," Austin said. "It was a close fight and he deserved another chance."
    Controversy shadowed Mundine's third world title, with the three judges awarding the 34-year-old a split decision.
    On the day after the fight it emerged that Mundine supporters had heckled and pressured one of the judges, British official Marcus McConnell, while he was scoring between rounds. McConnell was one of two judges who awarded the fight to Mundine, 115-113, but vehemently denied the verballing had any influence on his scoring.

    Mate i agree with everything in the story.
    It asks is he a man or mouse????
    If he is a mouse then what are we.
    Id say he is a smart mouse.
    If you win a fight then move on.
    Geale rematch would be much the same as the 1st.
    Close fight but thats all.
    But i dont buy into any headline from the telegraph about mundine.
    Especially one from josh massook.

    You do know its not the journos who write the headlines, but the sub editor?

    Don't agree with the 'controversially stole' bit, I had Geale winning by a point but as I've said all along, if its that close I'm not going to argue a decision.

    And yep, Choc needs all the help he can get selling this one.

    "Mundine is a gutless piece of ****" is a much better heading than man or a mouse. Has a nice editorial tone to it.

    TCW: "mundine will not make 154"

    That is a big call TCW, and you seem to say it with a lot of confidence...what do you know about this? Why would Anthony broadcast something that he could not possibly achieve? It does not make sense that he would say he can make light middle and forsesake a title belt on it....

    I think he can make the light middle weight, the day before the fight, and probably enter the ring nearing supermiddle.

    Because some people dislike him, does not make him stupid.
