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.
Mundine had a mouth but in the past he did match it with some toughness in the ring, I do not think Mundine has ever been a great boxer, but he was tough beyond average, to match his big mouth beyond average, and most of his better victories came delivered survivor style, outlast and outwit!
Going against Zerafa was almost suicide, the old Man Mundine is now soft as hot butter and dribbles just as fast, his reputation is all in the past and he could probably be knocked out by a street vagrant Toby Mitchell style.
It just goes to show you how we judge sport relatively. Put a few old pokes in the ring together and you get a half decent spectacle because they are all going at rat-ar5e pace. Put them in against anyone half-decent and still young and the old blokes will get the living suitcase beat out of them.
Zerafa did the right thing and didn't feck around with Mundine, the fat lady sung, she was singing before that fight started.
"Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck ....... Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck"
