There is a such thing as a bad winner too.
yes its true i did mean to stir the pot. makes it a little more interesting thats all . flamings ok on this one if anyone wishes. haha.
ohh and green did fight a good fight . out of the 2 he is by far the toughest in a street fight . but mundine outboxed him i am a mundine supporter buyt hold the highest respect for danny green . however boxing is boxing . fighting in general has nothing to do with how good someone is.

I guess the opposition is safe when hoppas got that thumb tucked away in a pair of boxing gloves??
HAHAHA

I was waiting for the Hoppa Fatality! Mortal Kombat style...lol

What an absolute monkey looking of a man though! And his opponent looked like he just got busted shipping cocaine from cuba and the government told him to fight or jail time...lol And his manager, I think, with the mullet and dodgey moe! :

As for the main fight, green was completely owned, yeah mundine mouths off but all good boxers do, its just part of the build up.

And that VB guy was gold! Gold I tells ya!

It was a good fight. Danny was missing way to many shots and mudine was landing them when they counted. I still don't like mudine but he won it fair and square.

Watching it on main event, was a classic quote before the 2nd or 3rd undercard bout... talking about the main fight...

"Approximately 1 in 20 people have a bet on this fight. To put it simply - if you havent got money on it, you're just not Australian"

Different divisions, but give Kosta a go and he'd smack "the mouth" from here to the other side of his vast ego.

Totally different league the titles Kosta has are earned were not arranged, and Kosta remained a gentleman achieving them.

Green = Owned because he had nothing, he got a few punches in here and there, and they were mainly body shots anyway.

Every sport has its mouths, just like it has its humble ones aswell.

Its about entertainment aswell!

Oh and those qoutes had my mates and I in stitches!

"His more tied up than a pretzel!".....

HAHA..truely cringe worthy!

I think Hoppa missed out on a gig in evolution, and he's still in the Neanderthal stage...

A good brawler but I think it would be a different story when he fights someone with speed and the ability to hold back and wait for opportunities to counter

[QUOTE=Polyal]Its about entertainment aswell!/QUOTE]

yes, there is no doubt that Mundine was the drawcard in that fight.

If you are into the promotion of boxing you'd be wetting yourself at the good fortune of Mundine coming along...

But most people want to see him lose, not win. Well they'll get their wish if Kessler accepts his challenge, again.

Hang on does Kessler even have to? Doesn't he want to break into the WBO for the higher $ ?

And thats just the point, who cares who wins, mundine creates interests both ways.
