Rubbish. I had hoped for Mundine's next fight to be in the US against a name fighter. Instead we get Billy something in Tasmania. Disgusting.
Exactly I mean come on Mundine is nothing special. So what he is fighting a journey man who beat the Irish hype job big deal.
Top 15 my balls. Guy nearly had his head taken off by James Kirkland. I didn't see the Duddy fight, but I've seen 4 of his other fights, and he's a hard working, no talent fighter. Sure, he beat Duddy, but that doesn't change the fact that Lyell is VERY mediocre. At least he's better than Pintos and Hamdan. Mundine by mid-rounds TKO or wide UD.
Geale is a top 5 Middleweight. And Mundine has made offers to Paviks camp but has been rejected because he doesn't have a name in the US. Fighting Lyell gives Mundine the chance at Pavlik believe it or not. And Geale will be on the same card.
Bobby is a no-hoper. Mundine has NOTHING to gain from this fight. Mundien has a name - the problem is that he is treating his image and his fans really poorly. He needs to take top 5 fighters - not some imaginary top 15 with a fluke win. Maybe if Bobby .... Billy... whatever.. has another 3-4 wins against known fighters, then the fight would make sense. But just taking someone who came of a fluke win and is 100% unknown is just ridiculous and mismanagement of Mundine's carreer.
Youngstown press. Gives Mundine a chance at Pavlik next. After the Geale rematch. Geale is a top 5 Middle everyone.
