The official 1 month countdown thread to mundine vs geale 2

Basically he forsees no problem with anyone that Geale fights, team Geale are overlooking Choc - big mistake.

Anthony "the man" Mundine will be the new IBF Middleweight Champion on the 30th brah.

 

"Per" your opinion, everybody should bet on Choc as you don't know boxing.

 

Hahaha, so butthurt because I criticised your awful threads which you think are amazing and genuinely funny.

Childish loser

Cynics would suggest Anthony Mundine is the last man who requires a confidence boost.
But the outspoken boxer claims he has received a timely shot in the arm ahead of his January 30 IBF middleweight world title bout with Daniel Geale by returning to Brisbane, the city where he last defeated his rival.
Mundine on Friday completed a month-long training stint in the Queensland capital where he claimed the controversial 2009 victory - Geale's only professional loss.
Mundine claimed there was "something special" about Brisbane and believed the four-week camp had provided the fine-tuning needed ahead of his rematch with WBA Super and IBF titleholder Geale in Sydney later this month.
Not that Mundine sounded like a man who needed a pick-me-up on Friday.
"I always feel different when I leave this joint. I always feel a lot fitter and stronger," Mundine said.
"Moving to a different climate, it's like altitude training for me.
"Now I am ready to shake the world up again."
Geale lost his IBO middleweight title to Mundine on a split points decision in Brisbane in May 2009, but Mundine declined to give him a rematch.
The softly spoken Geale, 31, (28-1 record, 15 KOs) has uncharacteristically claimed he will knock out Mundine (44-4 record, 26 KOs).
Mundine agreed it would not go the distance, but for very different reasons.
"I want to end him and I can do it many ways," said Mundine, who has won 21 of his past 22 fights.
"In my head, it is not going to go the distance. I am going to hurt him and stop him.
"They say he is a better fighter because he went to Germany and came back with a title but he was up against guys who suited him style-wise.
"I know he has a lot of heart, he is a great fighter but he is not on my level."
The 37-year-old Mundine - who previously held the WBA super middleweight title - is a $3.36 outsider with bookies against hot favourite Geale ($1.30).
"They can't doubt me now but, once I win this fight, it will take my legacy to another stratosphere," Mundine said.
"Age doesn't mean a thing. There are guys like Bernard Hopkins and George Foreman who were going in their 40s - I am a young boy in the sport."

When "the man" is talking trash you know he is on song, he looks strong in the picture above, I feel he thinks he honestly believes he will stop Geale.

If he has that Danny Green fight mentality where he knows he can't lose then Geale is in trouble.

Makata, Masua....Geale?

 

Mundine's fall from grace is largely mythical, there was the questionable KO against Wood but aside from that he put on a clinic against Alvarez and stopped McKart in his last two.

Yes his hip is ****ed, the only time it has truly limited his mobility was against Falliga just after Geale 1.

Yes he is past is prime but he isn't a shot fighter, he still pulls the trigger and nobody fires faster at the weight. Geale beat Sturm well but Sturm has a typical European style that is made for a schooled amateur like Geale and work rate won him that fight.

Mundine has improved at picking his shots with age, he is slicker than what Geale is used to and sparring with Medley is ridiculous considering the contrast in styles with Choc.

Mundine will beat him up with hard accurate shots from his feints :deal

 

It suggests to me that the Geale camp are going to fight him like they do everybody else; work rate, fitness and trying to turn the opponent or step off closely.

Mundine is too defensively savvy, to spar with a generic boxer like Medley is **** poor.
