    Actually Garths probably better it staying at MW, Mundine going up in weight might find a bit of form........... Besides Mundines best wins are all at SMW and a couple of LHW fights coming through.

    Granted, Choc wouldn't make that much from the bookies but he would be making a lot more for a rematch. Even if he won, Choc had nowhere to go after the Woods fight but retire. All of his talk about fighting in the U.S. was just that, talk, and he had just about run out of safe opponents here in Oz. He'd finally gotten to a point where he could no longer print his own money. Enter the rematch, where both he and Wood would make a far bigger earn fighting each other again than they could anybody else.

    And if Choc wins a rematch, there's already talk about fighting Green at light-heavy.

    And then they'll all sail off into the sunset sipping on their pina coladas with suitcases of cash in tow.

    Sounds good, but Mundine is too dumb and to much of a show pony to allow a lose in front of the Australian public let alone a KO lose.

    The Green fight was always there regardless of the Woods fight result.

    I think ur onto it and i got the footage to back it up. Flash back to Bagero vs Mundine, the commentators say that after this fight if Mundine wins he is heading to the US of A :lol:... i almost fell of my chair when i heard it because i honestly did not expect this dribble to go so far back to when he first won the Aussie title, this was back in 2001, 9 yrs ago.

    I will put it up when i have some time tommorow

    maybe just maybe Mundines declined.his footwork is
    nothing like it was.hes running on old legs:yep how do
    you go from beating the best from Oz-Green,Geale,Soliman,
    Taylor,Hamden to losing to Garth Woods.stick a fork in him
    hes done.his pride as well as him being wealthy anyway
    rules out a dive IMO.

    Mundine's decline has been obvious in many of the bouts you mentioned above.

    No way was it a Dive, his people had been trying to avoid the fight and an offer was given to garth as a pay out to step aside.

    I honestly feel Mundine belives in his head that now his droped weight its a huge achivement for him and his goal is to win another world title in assending divisions, i dont think for one second he was looking for a way out of this, he was biding his time but he missed an oppertunity that someone else snatched before Khoder could go to work.

    He isnt getting any better and didnt look great since he droped the weight, the only fight he did look ok in was against Waters but compared to 9 yrs ago he is not the same man, perhaps less than half of the man that fought Bagero back in 2001

    I think he will loose to Garth again in a rematch but that also depends on the weight and how much time it is between the orignal fight and the rematch. He cant beat Garth at the weight he is currently fighting at and it would take him a good 6 months to a year to regain proper Middleweight strength again.

    If anything he will avoid Garth for a few more rounds until Garth catches him again, he has not corrected Bad habits he has, he needs to get rid of his father and find a decent trainer, u can only do so much with a pad man, in the end u need to get trainer that can fix up your technique, its why blokes like Vic and some have moved on. Garths trainers a ****** just like garth, why else would you put a sick paul briggs in a fight when Fenech tells u to pull him out? ******S lol

    All Mundine needs to do is find a decent trainer and he is set because the style garth has is garth woods hoods style, nothing his trainer tells him in the corner will work and mundine should use that advantage but he didnt because he underestimated Garth imo, i dont buy the grap about him not watching any tapes of garth either, he was part of the contender , meaning Mundine so he had to watch some of the farkn fights on TV, how stupid does he think we are lol

    If I remember correctly, Mundine was filmed sitting in audience for the Wood v Oganov 'Contender' bout. They put the camera on him showing his reactions to the rough-house bout, and may have even quickly asked his opinion - he was there.

    We don't often agree Ty, but I certainly also heard this said, and more than once.

    Can't provide you with a definitive source Ghost, but it has been heard a few times, including on Melbourne radio station SEN.

    It was well known in the boxing community around Sydney that Mundine had given Garth an offer to pay him out, Garth refused this offer as he wanted to be the first Australian to defeat Mundine. Asking me for the source is like asking me who the snitch is within either Garths camp or Mundines camp that told me, that i will not do.

    Ash knows they were trying to pay Garth out, dont you Ash LOL

    edit,. thanks CHB its good to know im not being put in a dark corner fed sht all day long. Cheers.

    Anthony Mundine up for Wood rematch

    by Tony Sheahan - Sunday Herald Sun - Dec 19th 2010


    THREE-time world boxing champion Jeff Fenech is considering whether protege Garth Wood will give Anthony "The Man" Mundine a rematch.

    Fenech said if the right deal could be struck, the fight could take place in three months' time.

    "My opinion has not changed one bit about Garth knocking 'Choc' out again," he said.

    "It could happen as early as March, but we'll wait and see what happens between Michael (Karigiannis, Wood's manager) and Khoder Nasser (Mundine's manager)."

    Wood surprised the boxing world by knocking Mundine out in the fifth round of their bout on December 8.

    "Garth can improve 100 per cent on what I've already seen. We already know what Choc has done and can do, so, we don't see it as a problem at all," Fenech said.

    "Mundine wants to make more money and, of all the guys in the middleweight division, I'd prefer Garth to fight Mundine any day, rather than fight anybody else.

    "Danny Green has 50 times more experience and is a far better fighter, and I got a bloke with no experience to do what nobody else could, which is floor Mundine."

    The Mundine camp is desperate for redemption and Nasser has been smoking the peace pipe with Karigiannis in the hope of a rematch.

    "Khoder and I have caught up for a few coffees and cigars," Karigiannis said.

    "It will be twice as big as the last one and we're looking at going back to Acer Arena."

    But Fenech could not resist taking a swipe, saying Mundine should fight overseas, where he has threatened to go for years.

    "All they are interested in is money," Fenech said. "Mundine should be fighting for titles in the United States, like he keeps saying. But instead, he stays in Australia fighting nobodies.

    "Everybody wants to see him get knocked out again. You should have seen the letters pile up after Garth knocked him out. There was a truck load."
