Boxrec had this rated as a 3 star bout yesterday and today it's up to a 4, did I miss something? Together they have only won twice in their last six fights...
Most Hare Krishna boxers are. Their belief in non violence is a serious handicap when it comes to boxing. Anthony could have been an outstanding synchronised swimmer but he suffered a career ending accident in a bathtub when he was a child.
How does Mundine expect to sell this fight ? Seriously will people or venue's fork out the cash for this ? He'd be better of doing the fight for free instead of trying to steal ppv money, people have had enough and if he does draw a decent name no1 will want to buy it Mundine has bled the boxing public/clubs/pubs dry with no return and keeps saying please sir may I have some more of your money? Its good that the media has woken up to this and should start giving attention to our other talent
Carson Jones isn't a bad opponent 2 months after the mosley fight - if Mundine had been takng fights like this on a consistent basis years ago he'd get a lot less ridicule. The problem is that he opened his mouth again and promised a top 15 opponent and then failed to deliver. They had better get Carson out to Oz asap as he is a colorful chsracter who may be able to help sell the fight. Mundine will likely win on points but Carson can bang and box a bit so should at least make it interesting - cant imagine paying 50 bucks to watch on ppv though.
Look its a pretty damn good fight IMO for fight 2months after the Mosley fight and getting Jones on 3 weeks notice, ranked #25 on boxrec...But would I pay $50 to watch it? **** no ! Its more a Friday night Fox fight I think Mundines next fight will show what he is about and whom he picks after Jones,the jig is nearly up
I hope Mundine wins, continue to call out Mayweather etc, flies to the US and gets knocked out by some woman in her 60s.
Might as well do a copy & paste, this is what i wrote on Mundines facebook when he put up the poster for the fight which advertises it as a title fight. Pathedic matchup, #1 Mundine already holds the title, its not a world title, just an international one. #2 Jones was knocked out in his last fight. #3 Jones has fought a string of bums and really isn't much of a step up in quality, fighting guys like him wont lead to any world title fights. #4 Jones hasn't had a fight since July 2013. I then posted the footage of Jones last fight , which you can find on youtube in full.
