Mundine UD over Nievas.

Bute isn't that great either. I would pick Mundine over Bute. Bute looked quite ordinary against Bika, who has been beaten by Soliman among others.

 

Mundine and Bute would trouble each other. Bute is big, strong, aggressive and southpaw. But Mundine is more skilled, more faster and Bute hasn't fought anyone worth a lick.

 

Mundine looked ordinary and was beaten by Siaca, losing his bull**** belt in the process. Bute looked ordinary against a tough opponent to look good against,but still matched the scores that Calzaghe beat Bika by. What do you think is worse? Mundine is fighting some shitty fighters isnt he.

 

A few remarks

Mundine would beat Bika - fairly easy. Bika got Calzaghe on a bad night (for Calzaghe) and all of a sudden he is a world star. Bute had to adapt a little, but when he did he outclassed Bika. Bika is a good test for the contenders with his style, but he'll never beat a champion.

Nievas - iron chin - come on - the man has been down in 5 out of 20 fights - and several times versus people that can't fight let alone punch. He is great at getting back up though - hasn't been stopped yet.

Mundine is a good fighter - but he shouldn't be fighting guys like this - either hang up the glows and realise you did all you could in boxing or challenge the real champions.

As for Mundine-Bute - that could be interesting but it's not going to happen. Bute is going for IBF and Mundine is WBA regular - And Mundine doesn't need Bute - Mundine can get his fight with Kessler the day after he grows some balls - he is mandatory and Kessler fights his mandatories!

 

:think :good on the button, my thoughts exactly.

 

mundine ebaressed himself needing twelve rounds to beat this taxi cab driver. yeah, great going bumdine!!!

 

I do not think he will choose to fight Bute he is not rated by WBA therefore is he easy do duck, I hate to say it but think his next fight will be against Danilo Haussler, who is really overrated!!. But my hope says Mads Larsen. He has a name in the division, was good once perhaps still is an d it wood be a good opportunity to see how he is now. Mundine would might undersestimate him due to Mads 3½ years break. I think it would be a great match up.

 

:good Good post.

Mundine shouldn't be fighting guys like that. The thing with Mundine is that when he steps up he would give anyone in the SMW division BIG trouble. But the way he performed last night was ordinary. He is VERY up and down as a fighter, and it is hard to predict which Mundine is going to step into the ring.

Offensively Mundine was very limited last night. He couldn't put combinations together against a guy who was begging to be hit, wasn't using angles, and just lived off the one two upstairs, when there were so many other openings available.

I am hoping that he just got very lazy and over confident. The Mundine that I saw against Green and SOliman would trouble Kessler. The Mundine last night would have been BADLY beaten.

 

Hey mate what did you think of Zappa? I thought his punches looked very powerful and tight, although obviously against pretty limited opposition.

What were your overall thoughts on the card?

I was there live and while the atmosphere was good, overall I was disapointed. In regards to the mainevent I was waiting all night for Mundine to just let his hands go. He seemed very stiff in there, like he never really loosened up.

 

I totally agree with you actually. I thought he had stepped up a notch, but It looks like the same old Mundine. Frightened to let his hands go and open up.
