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.

Anthony Mundine will take on Danny Green in the biggest non-title fight in Australian boxing history, held at Aussie Stadium in Sydney on April 19. The slightly older Green is looking to pick up the mantel of Australia’s best boxer from Mundine after Kostya Tszyu’s imminent retirement.
Mundine is currently a slight favorite at a 1.75 chance with Green a 2.05 chance to win on IASbet. Leading up to the fight, Mundine has been training in the tiny aboriginal community in New South Wales where his father grew up. Mundine is also using the same ring as Aussie Russell Crow used in Cinderella Man (on loan); as well as dining on traditional meat such as goanna and turtle.
Green, who is following a slightly more traditional training regimen, was recently forced to move back to Perth (from Sydney) after the death of his infant niece. Green and his brother are very close, so he chose to be with the family during the lead up to the fight.
At the moment, I’d try and double my money and back Green for this, he’s a class boxer who’s had some bad luck in the past. It should be a good match, and the result will probably silence one of these blokes, but then again, they are boxers

The Crows Vs. the Cats on Saturday March 18 at AAMI Stadium, 7.20pm (CST). Everyone knows Adelaide are in good form right now, and that is showing in the odds at the moment, paying $1.31 to take home to NAB Cup. I do think the Cats have a slight chance of beating Adelaide if they can beat them in the middle, and they’re paying a decent $3.50 to win at the moment, which is a much more favourable bet than one on the Crows. I’ll be placing a small bet on Geelong, and hopefully watch them break 43 years of cupless footy on the weekend.
It will be a tough game, and it could very well be an early look at the 2006 AFL Grand Final, with both these teams in my top 5 for taking the cup this year. Let’s see how it goes, I for one will be cheering the Cats all the way.

Australia may have to do without skipper Ricky Ponting for the majority of the five match ODI series against South Africa after the Australian Captain pulled out of the first match loss with a stomach strain. The Proteas took a 1-0 series lead after a 6 wicket win in the opening match last Sunday. The teams meet in Game 2 in Cape Town tomorrow, with Game 3 in Port Elizabeth on Sunday.

Week 2 of the NAB Cup gets underway on Friday with the first of four quarterfinal matches. The Brisbane Lions who scored by a point at the GABBA last week against the Essendon Bombers will meet fellow opening round one point winners the Melbourne Demons at the Telstra Dome.
The action continues on Saturday with Neil Craig’s running midfielder’s looking to guide the Adelaide Crows to the Semi Finals of the NAB Cup when they take on a young Hawthorn Hawks outfit at Aurora Stadium in Launceston.
Saturday afternoon will see the two most impressive winners of last week’s opening round with the Fremantle Dockers hosting the Collingwood Magpies at Subiaco Oval. A tough assignment for the Pies who were red-hot early in last weeks opener against the Saint Kilda Saints while the Dockers put their best foot forward to smash the West Coast Eagles. Clearly the match of the round this weekend.
The second week of NAB Cup action concludes with five time preseason premiers the Kangaroos fielding a weakened lineup when they head to Cairns to take on the Geelong Cats on Saturday night. The Roos did it easily last week against the reigning day premiers Sydney but coach Dean Laidley has already declared his intention to rest about a dozen players, preferring instead to focus on the opening round of the season proper.
2006 NAB Cup - WINNER

It looks like the Redbacks are the outright favourites to win the 2006 ING Cup, paying $1.52 for the win at home. New South Wales are paying $2.55 to win the Cup as visitors. The odds for the highest opening partnership are a little closer, with South Australia paying $1.85 and the Blues at $1.95 and it’s even at $1.95 each for who will win the toss.
I think NSW will struggle playing without Simon Katich, Michael Clarke, Nathan Bracken and Stuart Clark, because they’re with the Australian Test team.
The line up is as follows:
REDBACKS: D Lehmann (c), D Cullen, G Manou, C Ferguson, C Bailey, J Gillespie, G Blewett, D Harris, C Borgas, K Skewes, M Cleary, S Tait, M Cosgrove. NSW: B Haddin (c), A Bird, D Bollinger, M Henriques, P Jaques, J Krejza, S MacGill, A O’Brien, M Phelps, C Richards, G Roden, C Simmons, D Thornely.
