    Anybody give Sam a chance of beating Mundine?

    Will it be Mundine by KO or wide UD?

    I think it will be same result as the second fight with Sam eating the canvas 2 or 3 times before round 10.

    Depends on which Mundine turns up to be honest. If he decides to coast cos he's already whipped Sam, it'll go to points. If not, a repeat of the last fight. I wasn't particuarly impressed with his fight against Hamden. Be interested to see if he ups the ante in this one. Either way, Sam's not a Middle and doesn't have a punch.

    Yeah the Mundine that fought Hamden was always in third gear......I think Mundine will come out hard and will KO Sam.

    this one will be a wide UD for Choc.

    Last time he got a solid punch in near the start that rocked sammy for the rest of the fight but sammy will ensure it doesnt happen again, and as long as it doesnt he should last till the end.

    I think Old Sammy rocks up this time.

    He will spoil and try to make Choc look bad. He will lose just about every round in the process.
    Possible late stoppage on the cards as Sam tries to finish strong and leaves himself open.

    I'm thinking Choc by points also.

    Soliman will be more alert of Mundine's power this time, whereas before I think he didn't fear his power whatsoever.

    Mundine on points, something like 116 - 112

    Soliman will lose again quite convincingly.
    Soliman should seriously be fighting at about Junior Middle with his height.

    I think the only way Sam will think he can win is with a huge work rate and that means staying in the hit zone for that little bit longer.

    I think we will see Sam go down throwing lots of punches but I dont see him lasting the full rounds.

    At some point throughout the fight, I think Sam's goal will change from winning the fight to finishi9ng the fight. I know it's not normally his style. but I feel he'll be a bit more conservative this time round.

    A lot has happened since their last fight.

    This will be a good fight to see where Mundine is at.

    Are you Mundine's PR manager? This is a joke of a fight. Mundine destroyed Soliman last yr. Mundine just seems to have easy tune up fights time after time after time. Seriously it wouldn't surprise me if when he goes down to middle he fights someone like Shannon Taylor in yes, another tune up fight he has zero chance in losing.
    I have always been a fan of Mundine's ability, but i'm also a genuine fan of boxing and Mundine is seriously becoming a joke. If he doesn't fight a live opponent next when he goes down to 160 ( and no Shannon Taylor or a rematch with Lester Ellis are not live opponents) then we may aswell treat him as just a boxing sideshow similar to butterbean.
