Speaking of Craig Field. Does everyone remember Marc Glanville's incredible hit on him at Brookvale when Field was playing for Manly. F#ck me dead what a hit that was.
Not a Mundine fan but I can respect his views on the anthem issue considering what happened to his ancestors.
Reading the opening thread was disappointing.. IF true, whats the motivation??? I have always liked Mundines ability, even though its hard to assume he has total faith in it.. Being a proud Aboriginal (Mundine), a level of hypocricy surrounds his Muslim faith, in fact, a tremendous amount of ill-respect towards his Aboriginal values. If the Red, Black and Yellow flag is in his corner.. whislt draping a Muslim beleiver, all elders must, indeed be slightly perplexed... considering Aboriginal culture, repsects and tradition are being deficated on... by his actions. A complete slur, not as he see's it, will once again, limit his public following.. if the Australian National Anthem is 'not allowed' to be played. Its unpatriotic... secondly..... RACIEST.. and technically illegal. Is Shannon Taylor allowed to have the 'theme song' in course of himself being a fighter involved???? I know, factually, Johnny Wheeler, whilst refereeing the Tszyu/Sanchez title eliminator bout, gave Tszyu an extra 15 seconds to pound Sanchez, a little more... Due to Sanchez's loud mouthing and flambouyancy whilst 'OUR' National Anthem was being played. Ol' Johnny loved to tell the tale. God rest his soul. If the opening thread in well credential, is a total disgrace for Mundine to have this frame of mind. If true, Im far from being supportive of him, and pity his Father... one of 'OUR' finest Oz fighters to ever box... nationally and internationally. A quality Australian.
How do we know what Mundines beliefs are if we do not know him...I would hate for him to be a brainwashed twirp tho.
Is Shannon Taylor allowed to have the 'theme song' in course of himself being a fighter involved???? I'm not to sure but he has asked all his supporters to stand & start singing once he enters the ring & he'll do the same...I know I shouldn't be surprised by Mundine's stunts but even I never thought he'd go this low & I don't think to much of him as a person.
Hmmm... Ashley, Id hate to hear the details...... but... Im intrigued anyway.. Shannon Talylor told me some nasties regarding Johnny Lewis also... Dont want to open a can of worms.... !!
Wait and watch. NSW Boxing authority - Craig Waller Only the boxer and cornerman/ref to be present in the ring before and after the bout.
Looks like the mundine media arm is working well and getting some great publicity and legs from this artical. Mundine will come up with this kind of thing to get bums on seats and PPV $................DONT U GUYS KNOW YET ITS ALL AN ACT/MEDIA STUNT?
Granted... Just tastless exploitation of media and Australian psyche..... Hopefully without true substance.
If the original post is true, then this might be a new low for the fraud. . . and that's saying something considering the rubbish we have had to endure over the past few years. If Mundane fights anyone with an actual pulse before his career is over I would be SHOCKED. I think his only hope is trying to lure a rusty and retired Green into a comeback fight to earn his one last big payday. All this Sturm talk is all bull****.
Its called marketing, hype and BS .......BUT MUNDINE AINT NO FRAUD.....if he talked **** and never went into the ring then hes a fraud.....but he has some good wins against good fighters. Mundine aint the best fighter.....but he want you all to think so......it sell tickets
So claiming to be the best P4P fighter in the world, fighting the best, shocking the world, . . . and then running away from Kessler and then continually fighting tomato cans . . . so this doesn't make him a fraud??? Righhttt. . . I'm glad he still has some of the aussie public completely fooled. U go ahead and keep fattening his wallet and buying his PPVs. And yes I understand all this BS is just marketing for the fight, but there is no need to defame and insult Australia while doing so. There are other ways to hype the fight without having to resort to this rubbish. Really just shows what a total tosser he is.
