Poor Danny tried his heart out but couldnt land a punch mundine was just to quick but a great effort by green you kept punching hard right to the end. Damn I hate mundine

I'm no mundine fan by any stretch, but he obviously was the better boxer on the night.

He landed more jabs, but he never hurt Green (though Green never hurt him either.) but that is why it's boxing, not fighting.

Mundine is a superb athlete, it's too bad he's too stupid to realise he's not Ali. He can't rhyme like him, though he tries, he can't move like him, though he want's to, and he can't rope-a-dope Green (though Green is no young George Foreman)

And also, if he's muslim, why does he cross himself at the start of the fight?

The fight itself was a little let down. Mundine had a wide stance to jump back all the time, but in the end he just planned better for the fight, and Green had no way to counter. Power to him.

i still hope that we see a rematch, but with green at 33, it's really unlikely.

Still, to those that saw the undercard, how about that guy on earlier that was 0 from 4 with the bloke in his corner with "VB" on his beer gut. He's a genius if ever I saw one :D

some of the best fights were a bit earlier on. a filipino guy who drew with an aussie was a pretty good hard fight.

Well, if nothing else, it got people talking about boxing again.

yeah talking about it and actually being interested is defferent, mostly how much people hate mundine. The thing is the majority don't care what Mundine does now where as if Green had won most would be eager for his next fight.

I cant get over that Aboriginal bloke at the end of the fight, hugging mundine, pissed off his head, i think he was trying to stick his finger up at the camera but stuck the wrong finger up :P

Hey Allblitz, just an aside, but I've been wondering what the Australian Muslim community thinks of Mundine, and your sig made me think you might have some knowledge.

From an outsiders perspective, it seems that Mundine just picked it because Ali did. He still crosses himself before a fight for crying out loud. Also when he talks about 'his people' we never seem to know wether he's talking about his fans, his religion or his race. Having said that, I've never met the bloke, so for all I know he could be reading the Koran right now.

Kozeyekan, he never crosses himself before a fight. Last nights fight he went to the corner and raised his hands (prayer). I dont know much about him as a Muslim, only from what I hear from the media. In Islam, we cannot judge him as we do not know whats in his heart regarding his beliefs. However, his outward actions are definately not what a Muslim should be doing. Having said that, he is only a new Muslim, so I guess all things take time, but i pretty much see what you see :P

No worries, I was just curious.

Personally, I think he'd tie a pink ribbon around his nose if he heard Ali did it, but like you, all I see is the media portrayal, he might be highly pious in his own home..... though I very much doubt it.

Still, winners are grinners and losers can please themselves.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
