This fight should not have been allowed to go ahead and Mundine should never have been granted a license to fight especially vs someone with the ability of Zerafa, why not find another old famous Pug and they can dance around till they both get tired hitting fresh air. This was a slaughter and made the controversial sport of boxing look even worse.

Other Boxing news: Sad to see Marvelous Marvin Hagler pass away, possibly the best middle weight boxer ever, tough gig being a pug and not many get to enjoy the money they make in their mid to late years.
What a fighter he was, they don't make them like him anymore.

Absolutely. Allowing old boxers to fight is inexcusable, as are bouts between ageing ex-footballers. It may be a nice little earner but at what cost in terms of health and wellbeing?

Tell that to George Foreman V2.0.
He won the title 20 years after losing it, at the age of 45.

Another George.... Burns lived to 100 smoking cigars but I wouldnt recommend it as a route to a great old age for the majority of us, think George Foreman is very lucky, maybe those fat free grills he has his name on have helped him health wise..? along with the 138 million he made from them plus you need to factor in he found religion, was a ordained minister and had some extra help in his corner perhaps...
Re: Horn or Mundine - madbluboy - 03-15-2021
The stars aligned for Foreman. He was losing and landed a big shot against a Moorer who was fortunate to beat Holyfield to have the title in the first place.
Heavyweights can generally fight longer as they don't have to cut weight. Mundine dropping weight as he got older made it worse for him but he was too stupid to realize this.
