Most useless fight ever.

That wasn't boxing. Hands dropped to the side of his body, no guard up, and keep running. That was NOT boxing.

Recipe for World Title:

Rule 1. RUN RUN RUN. If they can't catch you, they can't win.

Throw a few swipes (he's quick, I'll give him that, but no power or strength) and then quickly clinch so Eckles can't retaliate. Then proceed to hold Eckles EVERY FCKUING TIME and wind down the clock... If you feel like it, throw in a cheap shot as the clinch is broken up by the referee.

Repeat for 12 rounds.

you guys are ****ed!!!

you have no understanding of the word "boxing" - it wasnt a schoolboy brawl behind the sheds at 3pm, you either hit or get hit!

and for those who commented how he didnt fight and didnt use his fists, errrrrr......did you manage to see eckles's ****ed up face? it wasnt like that BEFORE the fight, so errr maybe he got hit around the head a few times?!?!? DUHHHH!!!!

and on top of that, it was a UNANIMOUS decision, you dont score POINTS when you grab and hold, you score points by landing PUNCHES with your FISTS..

FFS! get over the attitude and the jealousy or whatever you have against Mundine and recognise his ability to BOX!

sorry guys but im with franks here..

yes mundine is dickhead..

BUT.. he won.. adn he did it without biting someone's ear of etc.. as franky said it was unanimous decision..

mundine is not a big hitter.. he grinds his oppenent down through his superior speed and athleticism.. how is that not boxing?? sure it isnt as spectacular as watching somene get knocked out.. any trainer will tell you in boxing footwork is one of the most important aspects..

merli..

"That wasn't boxing. Hands dropped to the side of his body, no guard up, and keep running. That was NOT boxing. "

there are many different styles.. when im in competitions i dont have my hands up either.. i like inviting the person in to have a hack.. if ure quicker and u know it.. why not flaunt it?? to say that it wasnt boxing was hmmm .. he has his own style.. and as much as we all know he is a tool in person.. he is a great athlete no one can deny him that..

Franks, you really have to stop undermining other people when discussing topics. All it does is detract from the point you're putting forward.

I boxed for 6 years, when I was younger, how many years boxing experience do you have?

If you had any fight experience, you'd know how just how little it takes to create a flesh wound like Eckles got. Flesh bruises VERY easily and all it takes is a quick jab to the face in a meaty part (in this case the flesh under the eye) to make it swell up in defence. That is the body's natural reaction to injury.

I've missed punches to the head, and just glanced alongside the cheek and split it wide open. Human flesh is VERY easy to make swell up, and is NO indication of hurting the opponent (although it does disable them during the fight).

... and that's all Mundine was doing. Hands down, no guard and throwing wild jabs from the sides whilst backtracking constantly... He was even backtracking in the LAST ROUND!!!! That was *NOT* boxing.

He was out there to win a "World Title" (snicker) and that's what he did. He did exactly what he had to do to win it, and I'll pay that (even though it disgusted me)... If you saw the 1999 Hopkins vs. Eckles fight, you'd know just how much punishment Eckles can take and remain standing. It's incredible. Mundine didn't have the power to even faze Eckles, let alone knock him out... When Eckles lost his composure, it was PURELY out of frustration because he couldn't catch Mundine who was always backing away, and then stepping forward with defensive jabs to keep Eckles at bay, and then backing away again.

There is no way that Mundine would ever have knocked Eckles out. He just doesn't have the strength, and he knew that. There were only two possible outcomes from this fight:

1. Eckles KO's Mundine and wins by result.

2. It goes the distance and Mundine wins by points.

Mundine recognised this, as did thousands of other people and he did what he had to to win the fight.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
