Good point mate :good I would also say Mundine should go to the states and fight a guy like Manfredo to get used to the preperation and style of fighting in the states before he flogs Pavlik :yep
Mundine versus Pavlik, yeah right! Not so long ago it was Mundine versus Calz??? Then Mundine v Abraham, then Mundine v Sturm, then Mundine V who the f##k ever! When will this ever bloody stop. He's not going to fight Pavlik, simple as that! The opportunities were there to take the same path taken by Vic and Mick Katz but the bottom line is, why risk it when the money is right here. Little risk, large reward. To the Ashley's and Lud's of this world, I honestly believe you could stand right in front of the Opera House and still not see it.
:nono Mundine's last half dozen fights have done him no favours at all. Struggling to convincingly beat anyone will show out IF he EVER fights a TRUE champ. We all know it wont happen... so he may as well keep on sparring and preparing to make SSSSSS and no significance on the international scene.
BLAH BLAH BLAH... Mundine would have to beat every opponent in the States by 8 rounds to even get a draw. For Mundine, as it is for his opponents here, the biggest hurdle will be getting past the judges.
No substitute for actually being in there fighting at the highest level you can to battle harden yourself up for World class opposition , you and i both know that as well .
Mate I was there last week....I may have been thinking about the Mundine fight while I was there......but **** its a great building :good
You're right Ashley, It is a great building. Why didn't you just lift it up and take it home with you? Just as much chance of that happening as Choc fighting Pavlic
I think mundine would have to fight the echols fight plan against pavlik - hit and hold or hit and move but stay of the ropes like he does sometimes. We all know he's good for 12 rounds at middleweight and if he fights his fight then its an easy nights work against a double jab right hand robot.
Pavlik was coming back from a injury and used the Espino fight as one to blow the ringrust. And you think Mundine would fight for the purse Espino got?? He got like 55grand.
He's been hit by super middleweights so pavlik wont be that hard, his sparring would be crucial - not a fight from 3 months before
