Mundine fight

[Auckland4ever]

Never got a chance to see the fight, heard Mundine did a lot of holding. You do what you have to do to win & frustrating a guy like Echols is the perfect strategy.

There is still a lot of corruption & dodgy politics within the main sanctioning bodies & its ridiculous how many 'world champions' there are, but anyone who refuses to give Anythony Mundine credit for accomplishing what he has in such a short time deserves an uppercut. He is a good fighter in an average weight class, even so, becoming WBA champion is no small feat.

I can understand people rating Ottke as the real champion(Calzaghe for me), but if I was to bet on a rematch, my money would be squarely on Mundine.

Dont be fooled for a second on believing the hit Ottke landed on Anthony suggests he cant take a punch. Often, it isnt how hard a punch is, its where it lands. Mundine copped one to the temple, and most fighters will tell you the temple is among the worst places to get hit.

And how many of the other boxers do you think were quality players at the highest level in another high profile sport, before deciding to become boxers with no recent background in it, and were competitive at the highest level within a few years?

The man is an absolute sporting freak, a rare athlete.

main reason cause both sports (league and boxing) requires toughness and quick on your feet
