Just want to clarify before I respond.

There is no "them & us" as far as comparisons between Aboriginal people & ourselves, we are all "Aussies" as far as I'm concerned.
I say, We are "One", but there's plenty of activists who do not see that, and more importantly will not SAY it either.
Hope that is some sort of explanation for you.

Good on Jeff.......I’m sure Mundine will continue the circus

Mundine didn't appear too unhappy in post match interview.
I heard he got $2.5M for the fight?,.....if this is true, no wonder He's not feeling too bad.

Wonder what the punters who paid for ringside seats thought. Get settled in and it’s all over red rover 🤣

Would I be hypocritical if I said I didn’t see a fight stopping punch, personally I wouldn’t walk across the road to see a Mundine fight I think he and a few others have done nothing for boxing in Australia.
He has been a first class athlete in anything he has done , just a pity his ego got in the way.

Gotta agree, Mundine calls himself an elite athlete......I reckon he took a bit of a dive, didn’t want to get hurt.

Say what you want to, I wouldn't have wanted to be on the receiving end of that last hit!
As far as the difference between father and son, you have to look at things in the context of the times. If Tony had carried on like Choc, he would've been branded as a smartarse and ignored. Nowadays with pay TV being the biggest money maker in boxing, you have to become polarised by the personalities involved. That will drive people to click the "pay" button.
I thought Choc was quite gracious in defeat. As he said, the trash talk was just showmanship, nothing else.

I don’t watch a lot of boxing but 90 seconds in I reckon I’ve seen bigger hits boxers get back up.

One big problem is the amount you get for coming 2nd, ya only gotta show for pay day and not get hurt.

The more I think about, the more I feel this fight was set up to promote Horn.He has moved up a weight division, which means he will not face the boxers he faced before, he doesn't have to lose weight before a fight, I think his management have worked out he can make a name for himself at this weight. I don't know the oppostion he may face, but I don't think it is at the same level as his last weight division. Also, I can not see how that punch would knock out Mundine. But, I don't want to find out. Mundine sets up Horn, Horn gives Mundine a payday. Old Tony looks after his son. Win, Win, Win. The boxing public get sucked in. Although any one who knew anything about boxing would have watched the seven a side rugby.
