While I agree with you, so called boxing fans are just as much to blame. Look at the threads in here FFS. Each time one of them comes out with a quote in the newspaper, it's a 12 page thread.
mate everyone here bar a few nuthuggers of both fighters agrees with you.but the general public only know Green-Mundine.you wont get to see Dawson fight for a WT on Main Event but you will see these 2 against bums in their next fights.Kats-Mitchell iis on Main Event.not all doom and gloom.
Agree Ippy, but Kats & Vic hardly get a paragraph in our daily papers to discuss here. Vic could probably unify the heavyweight title and not get more than a passing mention in the daily's. Let's face it, there's barely a daily newspaper in Australia who have a paid, boxing savy staff-member, and when they do contact someone from the industry they often receive an 'advertisement' rather than any kind of unbiased assessment. Part of the reason team Mundine have been able to milk the Oz market so comprehensively is that the media have taken the path of least resistance with our 'biggest name' and never questioned the rort that was going on. It's only since the recent rise of Green's stocks that some media have got a bit 'gamer' and started to question what their previously beyond reproach pin-up boy was/is actually up to. Prior to that they were too worried they'd 'lose' the only fish in the tank if they didn't toe the line.
Nice vid. Hope he knocks Mitchell out good! P.S. The rumours are true. Michael Jackson is alive! He's donning a British accent and interviewing boxers in the UK!
interesting how he looked in the video, very loose with his shadow boxing, is he changing things? trying not to fight so tight? i hope he wins by KO
Am wondering if he was simply not giving much away. Mitchells seems to have the right game plan for Kats, move, make angles, stay just in range and of course Kats will expect this, nothing new there. BUT.... everyones got a gameplan till they get hit [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRL9ogtsAtw&feature=related[/ame]
kats should defo not go into like he did against earl tho, mitchells beard alot better and if earl puts him down with his lil short arms mitchell has a chance in that regard too- either was good fight, lookin` foward to it i can tell ya- dont right mitchell off my aussie breabins. Shame theres no new and up and coming aussies on the bill?
Kats boxed quite different in his last few fights...take the eskobedo fight for example. Mitchell looks good on the attack and moves well at a distance but could be a bit open in his defence in close....if he sits on Kats with a low guard like he did on the bag he's going to get hit hard and often. I dont think anybody over here will write off Mitchell however we do hope he gets KTFO :yep
