Just recently finished watching the Mundine, Green card.
And to anyone interested I got to say it was a very entertaining night and not because of the fights.
To start off, Green pounded a decision over tough Mexican Kirino Garcia. Green boxed beautifully and hit Garcia with some very hard solid shots and had the Mexican hurt a couple of times but never pounced on the oppurtunities. It was an easy victory 100-90 over 10 rounds.
After the fight Danny Green called upon his home crowd (Perth) to give Mundine hell when he came out for the next bout. Asking the Perth crowd if they wanted to see Mundine get knocked out? Needless to say, there was plenty of reception calling for Mundines' head.
Rico Chong Nee (A New Zealander), Mundines opponent came out to cheers. Mundine soon followed, coming out to the tune of 2pac- ****** Gospel and was his usual ****y self. He got very rowdy reception, plenty of boo's and people with their middle fingers sticking out, and chants of "Mundine is a wanker".
Just when their bout was about to begin, Green re-entered the stadium to great applause, Mundine unhappy with this move motioned to Green in the crowd, made gestures and stomped on the ground as if he was stomping a ****roach.
The bout then began and Mundine was very sharp as usual over his over-matched opponent, taunting Roy Jones Jr. style, it was obvious that he had been spending time with Jones Jr. as Kostya Tszyu (one of the commentators) mentioned. Rico had his left eye shut as early as the 2nd round even without much action in the 1st. Mundine played the role of agressor for this fight and put Rico down with 3 vicious right hands and the fight was stopped in the 3rd.
Before the fight, we were promised a post fight staredown between the two rivals but the crowd ensured that would not happen. Mundine jumped on the ropes after the fight celebrating with his bravado, the Perth crowd didn't appreciate and glass bottles and other dangerous objects were hurdled towards the victor. Never before or again will you see a fighter get this kind of treatment let alone in his own country. Mundine had to be rush to safety by his team and security.
Though they claim they have never met each other face to face before, the hostilty is at all time high. The action outside the ring has been unreal and Green and especially Mundine have both done a terrific job of selling this fight. All system are going now, for their Multi-Million dollar super fight down under early next year.
