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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
