Mundine Steals Geale's Title

If your not sure of what happend then just read the paper......Anthony Mundine...."3 time world champ" :yep:hey........or does Mundine own the paper as well :rofl

 

it don`t matter what belt it is mate. most would like to have layed claim to it.

and one thing that isnt a myth is, you dont lose a belt on a drawn fight and that would have been a fairer decision in this bout

Ready when you are for my Avatar.

 

Agreed, the rounds should go to the man who performed better, and if a decision can't be made, then it should be a draw.

The boxers status shouldn't come into it.

 

Each round should be scored on it's merits by the judges. The judges should be totally impartial for both fighters. The judges SHOULD NOT favour a boxer in a close round purely because they are the champion. If they did this then they would be biased towards one fighter. If the round is genuinely even then score it even, if not then score it to the fighter who won the round in your impartial view even if they only just won the round.The only advantage that the champion should have is the fact that if the fight is scored a draw they will retain their title.If you don't agree with this then you don't agree with having a fair IMPARTIAL contest.

 

Ash come on! Gotta give you kudos for trying to justify all that :yep

But really, the tape shouldnt come off in the first place, once or twice is forgivable, but like 5 times? He walks from his corner to go into the 4th or 5th round and you can see the tape starting to fray, how convenient not to fix it between rounds.

Low blows are ****, whether its Taylor, Mundine or Joe Bloggs, now I think Mundine's was accidental for sure, but the ref hardly warned Choc about it.

And I just flat out reckon that was a KD, but thats being covered in another thread and mixed feelings there.

But hey Mundine got the big fat W on his record and cant blame you for going into bat for ya favourite boxer Ash, I would to :good

 

Man, scoring a fight drunk is way easier, especially when theres 8 guys sitting around all yelling at the tv at once to 'rip'isfugginheaddawwwfff geaaaley'.

Sober score: obviously close, had Geale by about a point, great fight. Choc's body shot in the 3rd I think was a notable mention, as was Geale's incredible pace/workrate from the opening bell.

 

I think I am going to sit back and watch the fight all over again....without my hugger glasses on......na it wont make any difference :yep

 

You're right. But I spose there's that old school belief that you have to win the belt of the champ convincingly, my old man is always dribblin that.

But on a side note, I dont think Geale really lost much besides the belt. He put in a stirling effort and all my mates who at the start of the fight were saying "oh so thats the guy Mundine's fighting.." were huge fans by the end. His stocks definatley didn't go down and he ain't out of the picture, so really that says the belt is worthless which is obvious to most.

 

"3 Time".. Ahh.. Here we go..

 

Come on mate.....Its "Mr 3 time" in 2 divisions...got to get it right :nono

 

Haha sure, whatever you say..

 

It was a great fight.......both guys did well....me and Teke were thinking it could go either way however Mundine is the best....ehhm....I mean it was a good close fight :good

 

Yep. All the U.S boxing sites (and even some mainstream papers) are going gaga over our awesome 3 time dual division world champion Anthony Mundine after his amazingly dominant win over Daniel Geale whose aura of invincibility was once thought unbreakable!
