Great result.
Mundine can go away, sit on the floor and play with his toys now.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

He did praise Horn but doubt I will ever change my opinion on Mundine as a person...
Dont fancy Horn vs Crawford again either...Crawford is too quick and slick with the long range jab and like last time will only lock
Horn up in close and hold on so Horn cant let the big punch go....
I suspect Horn learnt alot from the Crawford fight and therefore would approach it differently. I think he also had a few issues with food in Las Vegas made him a little crook, that wont happen again. I know the bloke was 43 but what Horn did last night was precisely what he needed to do (ie quick disposal inside the first round). One thing Horn does better than many is hit hard! You could see Mundines face that he knew he was in strife after he took that first body shot, it was an anvil of a punch. Anyway, onwards and upwards for Horn and a happy retirement for Choc.

Yep, thanks Mundine, please stay retired before you get really hurt.
The trash talking schtick was tired and you got schooled.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

To his credit, he praised Horn after the fight and said that all the trash talk was part of the "entertainment". My view of Mundine changed ever so slightly for the better last night. He looked old, slow and scared but got in there with a young man who hits very hard. I respect that.

I dont like Mundine much either but a nobody is going a bit far. He has won some world titles.

Interesting assessment from Sven Ottke of the best fighters he faced:
Quote:BEST JAB
ANTHONY MUNDINE: He was giving me the hardest time in the ring. We were very surprised by Mundine’s jab. We only had two or three fights of him and you couldn’t really tell that he had such a great jab. I had to find that out in the ring. He was much better than we thought.
BEST DEFENSE
MUNDINE: It’s difficult to say because I was the defensive guy; everybody had to run after me [Laughs]. Mundine was unpredictable and fast. Until the KO it was a close fight. It was tough to hit him like I wanted to.
FASTEST HANDS
MUNDINE: It was a very difficult fight for me. Until the knockout it was an even fight.
BEST FOOTWORK
MUNDINE: Nobody was as fast as me. I fought lots of Americans and they aren’t that fast on their feet. Robin Reid told me in the ring to fight because he could not hit me. There was no special footwork with my opponents besides, again, Mundine.
BEST CHIN
CHARLES BREWER: It’s a very difficult question, because I’m not a hard puncher. I’m a technical boxer. I hit Brewer with all my power and he didn’t even flinch. It wasn’t my point to hit hard. My point was to move around and be fast.
SMARTEST
MUNDINE: He was a very smart boxer. It was like a chess match when we fought. It was close until the last punch.
STRONGEST
BREWER: Brewer was a naturally strong guy. You could tell from his physique.
BEST PUNCHER
THOMAS TATE: He was a strong boxer with power in his hands. I felt a lot of his punches, especially in our first fight. The second one was different.
BOXING SKILLS
MUNDINE: Mundine had great tactics; he was very fluid. He had a strong mind and a good fighting attitude.
BEST OVERALL
MUNDINE: It was my toughest fight in my whole career, until the knockout.
