Mundine V Green Postponed
The fight of the year in Australia has yet again been postponed. It has been announced that the Anthony Mundine vs Danny Green fight, said to be the biggest non-title fight in Australian boxing history, has been moved to May. The fight will now be held at Aussie Stadium in Sydney on May 17 (Australia time).
Doctors told Green that he needed two weeks rest after sustaining nerve damage to his back during training last week. Mundine, who was not thrilled with the second postponement of the blockbuster fight, reacted to the news by saying, “Is he a warrior or a wuss?”
The Super Middleweight Middleweight bout features “The Man” Mundine is 25-3 (20 KO’s) and is arguably the more polished boxer of the two. He takes on “Green Machine” Green, who is 21-2 (19 KO’s). Green is as game as they come and, although he does not possess the pure athleticism of Mundine, his slugging prowess is undeniable.
Before betting was suspended, Mundine was a slight favourite.

mundine should be used to eating his words as he has been ko’d by one of the worlds lightest punching world champs and
now he has to fight one of the toughest hardest hitting brawler/boxers in the world, on the other hand choc is a fast, classy boxer and i think who ever dictates the fight to make either a brawl (greem) or a fight of boxing (mundine)will finish the fight on top. Mundines fast hands or Greens puching power with either hand will be the be the other factors to decide the fights out come. Who ever wins i hope it a split points decision either way their again i got tickets to greens sponser table LEW.

Agreed.
I remember watching the “man” fight Ottke, and he was boxing well at the beginning, it even looked like he had a chance. But as soon as Ottke landed one punch, the fight was over. Mundine has speed, but he doesn’t have the chin, while Green has a chin and he packs a serious punch.
Hope you have a good night, should be a good fight no matter what the outcome is!
