    Mundine is going to be a dangerous man at 160

    Although I'm skeptical about him even making the weight :huh

    Exactly.

    He looked stripped to the bone at the weigh in. I can't see it myself.

    Well according to REPORTS outside of Team Mundine, he nearly gets himself down to 160 (like 164ish) during training ("without trying") for his super middle fights.

    So I dunno.

    my friend sent me footage of some of the fight and it was not an easy victory. soliman fought very well and many who were in attendance thought soliman deserved a decision.

    A clear decision to Mundine 116-112

    Fighting in Soliman backyard hence the support for him.

    yes but from what i saw mundine was not as dominant as before. soliman countered well and fought his usual chaotic swinging arm style

    Don't get me wrong i was very impressed with sam and thought he put up a good effort. To me Mundine has slowed abit and i feel he might be losing some of that natural hand speed.

    Haven't been impressed with Mundine last 3 fights (since the eye injury) he might be just starting to be on a downhill slide.

    yeah this could be true. i always liked sam but i do feel mundine won this fihgt just not as convincingly as the scores dictate. mundine did look a bit lax though.

    Perhaps its due to the fact that Sam could not hurt him.
    Do you think Mundine looked better at 168lbs?

    I think sam landed on Mundine more then we anticipated. Maybe Mundine wasn't scared of sammy's punching power ala DLH v Forbes.

    I think Mundine shld go to 160lbs................... he might successful he may not. Staying at 168lbs he can't beat Kessler and that's a fact :deal
