Fans left unsatisfied as Jeff Horn completely obliterates Anthony Mundine
Anthony Mundine said he was a “caged lion” before fighting Jeff Horn but the 43-year-old looked like a pussy cat as fans were duped.That was the biggest fight in Australian boxing? Really?
After months of build-up and silly storylines — and a mind-numbingly long undercard that pushed the main event back until almost midnight — Jeff Horn monstered Anthony Mundine in 96 seconds in their fight in Brisbane.
Mundine said he was a “caged lion” after grabbing Horn by the throat during a tense face-off, but as soon as the bell rang he turned into a timid house cat.
It was an anticlimax on a night that had fans frustrated as every fight on the undercard — bar a fourth-round stoppage of Horn’s younger brother Ben — went the distance.
The delay saw the singing of the national anthem scrapped to save time and to ensure the event didn’t breach Suncorp Stadium’s curfew.
In the end it mattered little as Horn needed less than two minutes to dismantle The Man and bring end to his illustrious career.
Viewers were left stunned after another night of Aussie boxing that failed to deliver.
