Australian Boxing Preview

Anthony Mundine will take on
Danny Green in the
biggest non-title fight in Australian boxing history
, held at Aussie
Stadium in Sydney on May 17 (Australia
time). The slightly older Green is looking to pick up the mantel of Australia’s
best boxer from Mundine after Kostya
Tszyu’s imminent retirement.

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 process is
undeniable.

Mundine is currently a slight favorite at –125
with Green at 105*.
Shortest odds for how the fight will end, however, go
to Green, who is 205 to stop the fight with a “KO or TKO.”

At last week’s press conference, Green was calm and workmanlike in his
demeanor. Mundine, as is his usual style, was more brash; both fighters have not hid their dislike for
each other.

Respected U.S.
trainer Roy Jones Sr. will again be in Mundine’s
corner for the big macthup. He claimed that Mundine is “30 per cent better than the last time I was
here.” Meanwhile, Green has been training four days a week with a local Rugby
League club, the Parramatta Eels. This will server him well against Mundine, who
played Rugby League himself before his boxing career took off.
