    Man gets issued a serious international challenge by Olympic medallist

    Daily Telegraph

    May 6, 2010

    ANTHONY Mundine has been called out to fight for the vacant WBA middleweight belt by an Olympic silver medallist from Kazakhstan. Will he 'Man up' or 'mouse out'?

    ALL right Anthony, here's your chance. Ever since you ditched your footy boots for a pair of boxing gloves, we've repeatedly heard how you're "The Man'', you'll beat anyone, anywhere, you're the fastest, the greatest, the blah blah, etc.

    Well, here's your chance to prove all us critics wrong!

    A little-known boxer from Kazakhstan has called your bluff, promising to fight you in your own backyard and let your family be the judges. He's pledged to knock you out.

    The fight will be for the vacant WBA middleweight world title belt, like the type you're always telling all of Australian you're seriously chasing!

    So, after telling us all you're as good as Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson and all the other iconic legends of the fight game you've compared yourself to in your mini-Muhammad Ali mimicking manner,The Daily Telegraph wants to issue you a challenge.

    PUT UP!

    OR SHUT UP!

    The HeraldSun in Melbourne were banned from his fights for saying much less lol. He's finished if he doesn't take this fight now.

    Have always said if he actually ever got around to stepping up I'd support him.

    This is surely last chance cafe for even the nuthuggers!


    As old Merv Williams used to say on TV Ringside in the 70's:

    You can run, but you can't hide!

    Pretty funny that the Telegraph got wind of this, considering Golovkin is pretty unknown.

    Someone's alerted them to it, or they've been keeping a close eye on him.

    Mate, they are pulling this info from these forums.

    We found out on the "otherside" when the poster got the spelling wrong in the fighters name & the rag made the same mistake:lol:

    Can't blame them tho. It's all good for boxing.

    It is simple, if Mundine ducks this fight for anything less than a top 3 ranked middleweight he is a bigger sack of **** than I always presumed him to be!

    With that kind of media saturation, Choc will have nowhere to hide...

    There is not one telegraph article that shows mundine in a favourable light I think impartiality is out of the window when they write about mundine. If they do glean things off this forum then they probably think they are tapping into popular opinion from the ratio of mundine haters to normal people.
