Your a legend mate. Golden post!

KING POST :D

[seanmcgrath]

Great post. Thanks for that, will be at either the Harp or Terminus for this one.

[kathy]

Looks like Scott will be there getting some photos, so I'll get him to post up some pics afterwards.

[michaels]

I'm going, really looking forward to this fight..
will be Mundine's biggest test for a long time. I rate Geale above Danny Green any day.
I think will have a little too much experience to Geale.
Oh and Preacher is fighting on the undercard as well for those who didn't know..

[Jon]

think mundine will win by KO. too good.

whos preacher fighting?
and is sonny bill still on the card?

[zito]

mundine is going to feature in the EA Sports game fight night 4

[fighta29]

[quote]Originally posted by Jon

KO????

Do your reasearch dude. Oh and Geale spars Bika who comes to knock you out as he spars the same way he fights....This is also a middle weight contest. Mundine lacks KO power at this weight...

Geale on points to beat the hit and run style of Mundine.

[Voice]

anyone want to place a bet on Geale?
I will take Mundine...come and get it.

[nick stone]

Interesting article about Paul Briggs from the aussie boxing forum being given the shaft for next weeks fight, which is a shame really..

you can read it here

http://australianboxingforum.yuku.com/topic/3878

[fighta29]

A tip for all. Anyone who knows Daniels trainer, Graham Shaw, would know that his fighters come well equiped, well conditioned and mentally prepared. Combine that with the pure skill of Geale and you would realise that this is a defining fight for Mundine. This will be one of the best fights Aus boxing has seen for some time.

I know where my money is going...

Geez, betfair is at $3.50 (5/2). I reckon at 4-1 I'd take a bit of Geale also.

Why can't they ever seem to put together a top undercard on these events with Australia's best and most experienced fighters? The main support is a League newbie...
Even the Friday night Fenech fights have better cards.
Best of luck to Blake...

[Awesome]

Voice, agreed about the undercard... It is ****e. The large majority of fighters haven't even had a fight before.

What is even more rediculous is the fight between a guy with an 8-0 record against one with an 0-4 (See Brown V Kiatpaiboom). Am I reading that right or is there something seriously wrong with that?

[fighta29]

Jeff has nothing to do with the organisation or promoting of the Fenech fight nights. He simply has the rights to the fox air time. The hard work is done by the team at Grange Old School Boxing,

[fighta29]

This is a format Koder Nasser has followed in most of his promotions, average quality fights/fighters. It means that less is spent on the undercard fighters, to the point where he gives them tickets to sell, rather than paying them. Kills two birds with one stone, fighter is paid, tickets are sold, this means there is no middle man to pay.

[perrycale]

I just hope that the main event wont go on at the usual time of around 11.30-midnight mark for a usual mundine ppv , its hard midweek ..

[fighta29]

Yeh I think it will. Alot of under card fights. Mundines intro ususally takes a while too

[nick stone]

the boxing world here will be hearing alot more from graham shaw and the grange team, big g is from the same town as me in the uk hes a brilliant trainer (like myself) hahhaaa and handsome too!!

[wild_west]

There seems to be alot of confidence in Geale from alot of the guys here... interesting really

What can Geale do that many other guys havent been able to?

[fighta29]

Box!!!

[fighta29]

Just kidding. Geale brings all the attributes that mundines previous opponents lack. He can match his speed. Has better movement, can punch/defend/counter from virtually any angle, and is not intent on a knockout, though he will if presented with the oppurtunity. Your also talking about a boxer with 160+ amateur fights, commonwealth ganes gold medalist, olympian, with a pro world title.

[Rocky]

Daniel Geale - Always looks like he just got out of bed.

Too lathargic and no energy about him. How bout someone give him some speed or eccie tabs ?

[fighta29]

Not even going to answer that one

I am with you Nick. This fight is going to be the beginning of the end for Mundine. He has avoided Geale in the past ... Geale by way of UPD. Not going to say too much , I have said it all in a previous post so .. Go Daniel ... stay focused .. dont rush , just pick away mate. 10 rounds to 2 ! too easy !

[kingwaa]

mundine is having his last training session alongside sonny bill as we speak at corporate box gym

pics to come soon

[fighta29]

Daniel and Graham left for QLD yesterday morning. He looked unbelivable in his last spar at the Grange. Rest of the team will join him soon. He is calm, relaxed and confident...

Not going to predict any further on this fight. it will speak for itself. Cannot wait!!!!

[humble]

Geale on points. Too sharp, not a slouch, balls to boot.

Kurt to give Blake his first loss.

If this gem below hadn't have featured in this thread:

quote:Originally posted by awon

The first statement would have definitely been the most ridiculous.

Sorry Awon, but I am amazed at that bet.

Back on topic though. Fighta29, don't let your personal connection with Geale allow you to develop what I now refer to as 'Hatton Fan Syndrome'. Match his speed? Not even in a car. Better movement? Not even on the dancefloor. This fight will be close, but don't get carried away.

[fighta29]

LOL Hiro... Ridiculous? No, observant.

[Voice]

I'm actually getting a little excited for this fight. Apart from a couple of wagers to lift the interest, seems this fight is a major crossroads for both fighters.
A loss has an obvious effect for Mundine but for Geale he has a chance to propel to a serious contender for a mainstream title. If he loses that door will probably close and it will be local fights and obscure sanctioning bodies for the foreseeable future.
Definitely a high point in the boxing calendar this year.

My prediction is a points win to Mundine (5 point win).

[fighta29]

Spot on voice (except the win part)

[perrycale]

Reports are that Geale is looking sharp as and that hes hes been sparring with sakio bika the last 6 weeks, one of the betting websites has geale at a whopping $9 to take the win by decision, astronomical odds when u think about it.

[Voice]

I'd have thought anything over $4 is pretty ludicrous as he is definitely a credible opponent and Mundine hasn't been the most active of late. I usually like to reference Betfair as the punters make both sides of the market rather than the bookies ripping people off with short odds to back the win only (rather than lay against the win).

[witt]

which website has him at $9 odds? thats awesome

[perrycale]

Punters have obviously jumped on the Geale Train now,but according to this u can still get Geale at $8.00 for a decision.

BOXING: GEALE TO KNOCK MUNDINE OUT!

Sportingbet CEO Michael Sullivan said after huge money arrived for Geale to win the fight last week, punters were now tumbling in to Geale to knock Mundine out.

“A Geale win by KO has shortened up from $7.00 to $5.00 in recent days with punters believing an upset is on the cards,” Sullivan said.

“We took a bet to take out over $150,000 last week on Danny Geale and there has been a string of four figure bets on Geale to knock him out this week.”

Sportingbet currently has Mundine $1.30 favourite for the fight but punters are not interested.

“Mundine does deserve to be a short priced favourite for this fight but at this stage punters are not prepared to take the $1.30,” Sullivan said.

“While Geale remains a $3.50 outsider for the fight, it would appear The Man will have his work cut out for him on Wednesday.

“Danny Geale has a 21-0 professional record so he is no mug and unlike a lot of Mundine’s other opponents, he is a fighter on the way up who could have some surprises in store.”

ANTHONY MUNDINE V DANIEL GEALE

Sportingbet market

Anthony Mundine (Australia) 1.30

Anthony Mundine v Daniel Geale – How The Fight Will End

Sportingbet market

Mundine by Points Decision 2.00

Mundine by KO, TKO or Disq 2.40

Geale by Points Decision 8.00

Geale by KO, TKO or Disq 5.00

Draw 31.00

[Voice]

ok I see what you mean...Geale to win by decision = $8.00. Interesting a decision is longer than for him to win by KO/TKO.
The main odds are $3.50/$1.50 which seems about right.

[perrycale]

Hes probably the most Unknown so called world champion in his own country, he was on SEN 1116 AM this morning with Kevin Barlett, he kept calling him as David Jeal!!!

Anthony Mundine, Sonny Bill and a Kiwi look for a biff
Article from: The Courier-Mail

Josh Robertson

May 26, 2009 12:00am

A NO-NAME Auckland streetfighter upstaged Australian trash-talker Anthony Mundine yesterday, crashing a press conference in a hilarious, expletive-laden cameo.

Gary "The Baboon" Gurr, who will take on Sonny Bill Williams in the footballer's first professional fight tomorrow night, stormed in midway through the pre-fight presser at Boondall – from which he was apparently excluded.

"You f---ers started the party without me," Gurr shouted. "Where am I going to sit?"

Mundine, who'd just been asked how it felt to be part of the first world title bout between two indigenous boxers, was stunned.

"Who is this cat?" he asked.

"He's the guy I am fighting," a giggling Williams said.

"He's stealing your thunder, Choc," warned the indigenous reporter who had asked Mundine his last question.

"It's all good. Sonny B's gonna take care of him," The Man replied.

There was no seat for Gurr on the panel; ushered away by Mundine's manager Khoder Nasser, the stocky Kiwi hurled a water bottle and kicked a seat.

His parting shot was hardly Cassius Clay: "This is crap anyway. Youse are f---ing f---ed."

Williams was then asked if he was ready for such an opponent.

"I'd better be, otherwise the crazy man's going to give me a hiding."


And some more here...

[Hironaka]

Sonny Bill Williams is a fine looking man, with a fine body and fine tatts. If he were a race horse, he would be $1/$1 favorite.

[Voice]

What time does it start and about what time would the Mundine fight be on?

I'll post pics from the undercard weigh-in later.

ps- Gurr (Sonny Bill Williams opponent) could possibly be the biggest ****er to walk the Earth.

Yeah you're not the only one. Scott thinks he's dreamy ;)

I wrangled the full length pic of SBW in his undies off Scott, and I've stashed it away for *ahem* personal viewing.

Apparently he's a real easy going type of guy too. You should hit him up after the fights Ron ;)

[Ron Burgandy]

Ron here...Haha na Voice, its not Hiro. Cmon, u cant say that SBW isnt a awesome specimen??

[SCOTT MC]

Due to popular demand...


This was taken right before the douchebag (Gurr) shoved SBW across the ring. SBW just shrugged it off and laughed.

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,25543275-5017479,00.html

If nothing else, Anthony Mundine is good at marketing. Remember he wanted to be like the Louisville Lip when he started out.

"Bad Boy" Gurr has "stormed into" the press conference, but those in the know (according to the third article above)say he actually arrived early for his performance. It also suggests a little bit of pre-planning. Apparently when he threw his water bottle, you couldn't have thrown it any softer.

Anyway, made the press which would have been the aim.

I know a Sydney boxer who made himself available for SBW for this fight. It was politely declined as SBW's entry into the fight game was to be managed. It would have been the other fighter's pro debut.

so mundine won on split points!!

[eddo]

wonder if there will be controversy over the knockdown? would of changed one scorecard for sure

[Steve P]

Mundine's prophecy on Daniel Geale's unbeaten fight record was

"The Oh has got to go."

Going the distance and that close must have been a great fight.

[methusila]

:(....thanks for the results Eddo, and others.

[ASSASSIN]

Didn't see the fight, just saw the highlights, however from what I saw, Sonny Bill's opponent looked like the biggest bunny ever.

And Sonny bill looked almost as worse, and was throwing slow punches with no guard, but his hands down to his waist instead?

Can anyone that saw this fight give us a detailed report on the match.

[seanmcgrath]

Wonder if highlights are fox sports news (??)...

[kathy]

Scott was shooting ringside, and will have pics available at Rogue and will put a couple up here.

[perrycale]

End of the day ,i reckon geale CLEARLY won , if the ref didnt at take a point off or the very least a last warning for the tape which i think i counted as 8 times the fight was paused and that 8th rd knockdown of mundine which the ref somehow gave that as a slip then u kind know who the the winner is gonna be.

[sasha_li]

I guess he's still "The Man".Well done to him,Sonny Bill and Sarracino.Hard luck to Sloss and Preacher.

[Impact1]

The way Mundine pulled away from the ref for the decision and walked away to lean against the ropes was a complete discrace, total disrespect.

[Lucy Tui]

You got to take into account this was both Sonny Bill & his opponents first fight ever like Sonny Bill said he was there to fund raise for Say No to Drugs which they gave $50,000 to organisation in the King Cross.Just wish Sonny Bill all the best if he starts his new career in boxing will need to keep his hands up.
Mundines fight was awesome Geal is the real deal fighter.
Congratulations to Mundine on his win,I like mundine as a middleweight he seems to work more inside and was able to give as much as take it from Geal. Excellent fight.
Good to see the fighters from the thaiboxing scene on the undercard. Blake Sloss, Bruce McPhee, JWP.Ian Jacobs.
Great night.

[supermario]

Mundine landed the harder blows, but Geale has a steel chin, and he gave Mundine some hard shots of his own, which were taken well by The Man. That was no knockdown on Mundine, he clearly slipped on the Boxa logo, as shown on the replay, and it happened again a couple of rounds later. I'm a Daniel Geale fan now, hadn't seen him fight before, but he has a lot of balls, and fights with style. Great, great fight from both guys, very worthy of a rematch. I think the knockdown in round 2 won the fight for Mundine, otherwise, it would've been a draw. Definitely not a clear win either way.

[Voice]

Wheels, the piper is calling...

[Jon]

thought mundine picked his shots and landed them. geale was more aggresive. mundine won clearly by accuracy and evasion. and it was a slip not a KD but good job to geale for taking the fight and being competitive, hope to see him bounce back and fight some big names hope mundine does too.

[Lucy Tui]

Hahaha Voice he just rung me whats to know how to contact you.
Farout you're a big winner tonite.

What a pitiful and disgraceful athlete Mundine is. I have no respect at all for him after he disrespected the referee, his opponent, the sport and general rules of the sport. What a tool. I can't believe he acted in such a despicable manner. Congratulations to Geale, you exposed Mundine better than any other fighter has. Excellent footwork, excellent bobbing and weaving and defence. Caught Mundine with shots many opponents never caught him with. Just lacked the mustard to seriously make a statement. Whilst Geale was more aggressive, landed more punches and made Mundine look off his game, Mundine landed the cleaner and more powerful blows.

SBW just looked wrong! I'd fight him without batting an eyelid and I'm sure plenty of other KBers would.

Well done to Kurt, too crisp and experienced in the hands department.

Preachers fight was good to watch. Toe to toe, punch for punch and never a dull moment of holding. Both boys happy to bang.

Omar Shaik had some impressive moves too.

[Ron Burgandy]

Ron here...I was at the fight and I can tell you that it was prob a 80%-20% support for Geale. Even tho Geale did expose choc more and caught him with some good shots, choc was just wayyyyy too slick. Much cleaner and very crisp. When Geale got hit his head rocked back whereas when mundine got caught u never saw his head move. Geale is a warrior. Kept coming at muundine the whole fight.
Pornstar...8th round knockdown?? It was clearly a slip. Im pretty sure it was mundines back foot that slipped on his boxa logo. Karma mayb??
SBW, well he fought with his hands down and prob could have got caught if his opponent knew how to throw a punch. Im sure that guy was just picked up off the streets somewhere and asked to fight for $200. The fight before SBW was a low light as it lasted 50secs or so. I thought Alex Leiapi (spelling) was one of the better heavyweights in AUS and his opponent looked very out of shape and at 120kgs looked every bit of it!!

haha you whinging / whining b i t c h

[robdiep]

congrads to mundine. good win. hope he fights worthy opponents more often.

what weight class was sbw fighting at? i'm guessing light heavy or cruiser. yeh he did look weird fighting. hands too low and quite too stiff. but i guess his physique and result made up for it.

bad luck to preacher. he should stick to muay thai.

well done to sarracino. pretty good for 3 days notice!

[humble]

Funny is it? Ask John K above, I've defended Mundine plenty of times as I was an avid fan of his and thought better of him. That's why John K was surprised with my comment.

Rather, you're the ***** as you're not man enough to admit to something wrong.

If you think that his behavior is exemplary then by all means you can join him in the "disgraceful" pot.

Fact is, he doubted himself. He had no clue if he won or lost because Geale gave him an excellent fight and I believe exposed all his weaknesses perfectly. That's why he had to make a show of himself and walk around the ring rather than respectfully wait the decision.

[aramz]

What was the result of Preacher's fight?

Also did Saracino fight? I thought i saw a snippet of him in the highlights at the end... what was the result of that fight?

[Angie]

quote:How but Sonny's bod? I'd turn gay for that.
Ha ha ha... I thought he was good looking, but then I saw him and was like holy cow, he is a beast. I think even boys from Boonchu had a man crush on him, or maybe just one, Ryno cough cough. Ha ha ha.
Blake fought well, threw lots of punches. Sarracino won and he is lucky. He clearly won, but lucky cause he wasn't fit. ha ha ha. Thanks for saying Happy Birthday when you were in the ring Sarracino. I left after Sunny Bill's fight. I knew Mundine would win!

[humble]

Other guy won on points vs Preacher, but much respect to Preacher for 'banging'.

Even the commentators said it's a shame he had to lose because performances like that are so good to watch.

Saracino was good too. Smarter, stronger and more heart. He won.

Preacher tried hard but if he wants to win some boxing bouts he will need to just train in boxing for a few months to break his muay thai movement , weight transfer and balance mindset. He has good hands but he was being picked off at will just because of his footwork. It looked like he was still positioning himself for a kick at times.
Please dont get me wrong , I am not having a go at him i think it is great he is venturing into boxing , but you cant do both successfully , that is why the likes of Daniel Dawson is 100% foccussed on boxing now. Choose one Preacher ...

sbw is over 100kgs so i dunno how you think he'd be LW of Cruiserweight

sbw stance looked like he was fighting points karate

[Awesome]

A mate of mine was carrying on about how SBW was in for a tough fight but I said that all the crap that Gurr was throwing up was just hype and that he would get smashed - that is the script and sure enough they stuck to it. Almost as bad as the Les Mason debut. Oops, sorry, nothing could be that bad and at least Gurr didn't need a manzear.

Geale is the real deal and Mundine did well to get past him. I see that he won't rematch him either - too close for comfort. I suspect that both will now move on to chase the big $ and fight some of the big name middleweights.

[JWP]

SBW weighed in at 104.5kg. He is one big dude.
I asked him "you want a chip bro? he said a chip, I said yeah a chip, chip, you want a chip. SBW said "I dont eat chups, I only eat Plangton, I might look big, but I cant chew" then he asked if I had a bucket or a hose. I thought it was very strange.

it was a great night. I thought geale had it in the end but hey it was close.
Sara has a good bash and done real well considering he only had a few days notice and was on the piss all weekend before.
Talking with the fighters out back they all seemed like they were called up on short notice, very odd. oscar telemara had one days notice and jumped on a plane from nz the very next day and hasnt trained in months.
crowd were going nuts for the mundine and sbw fight but were dead silent for all of the rest. you could hear a pin drop!

It was close as expected. I would be surprised if Mundine accepted a rematch as I think he and most others realise he was very fortunate to get away with that one.

Great fight. Well done to both fighters

..WTF ... JW ummmmmmm ... I am totally confused ???[B)]

[michaels]

The chances of a rematch are zero in my opinion, it was one of the best fights i've ever seen. So quick and the body movement of Geale especially was something to see. He is the real deal for sure.
I had Mundine ahead just and i think it was a fair result. Great fight.
Great to see all the kickboxers doing the sport proud buy showing heart and never taking a step back.
Mundine's entrance music was awesome.

[allanf]

1 of the best close contest fights in Australian boxing i have seen last night. I had Mundine ahead aswell after the 12 rounds. Both champions in my opinion, congrats to Mundine its time to take on the best worldwide.

Only seen highlights but SBW looked like he had some skill. Hope he goes back to rugby or league though as he does all his damage with that left shoulder. Awesome specimen and sportsman.

Just to let you know, a rematch is all but signed. Rightly so

pornstar,

i suspect that people would have voted without a solid understanding of the fight game and probably a good understanding of the fu,ckwit that mundine can carry on like at times.

while i thought it was a close fight, as much as it kills me to say, i probably would have given it to Mundine

[Hironaka]

Mundine should be disputing the decision. 116-112 is the correct score.

And an AIS Olympic boxing coaches opinion doesn't count as much in my mind. It's kind of like a kickboxer trying to judge a Muay Thai fight.

[Voice]

I don't know if I have ever seen a boxer throw so many punches yet land so few as geale. And what is that horrible tat on his back? Score him an A+ for energy though, he certainly fought hard.

[supermario]

How do you guys think a rematch would pan out?? I think Mundine would win convincingly, but Geale is fantastic. Mundine definitely stands a chance against the other world titlists.

haha totally agree there mate. I wonder how he fares in golf/archery etc...

Also - I watched the fight again. With the commentary turned off. Mundine won 75% of the rounds PURELY cause he evaded all the useless shots made by Girl and land a couple clean/crisp/power shots.

Girl is just a dog on heat. No class, just running on adrenalin.

[Hironaka]

I had Mundine four points clear. Not sure where the controversy comes from.
