mundine won the wba super middle weight tittle coz he fought someone smaller then him echols isnt a super middle weight hes a middle weight thats 2 divison under mundine
[post="92118"][/post]
Actually a middle weight is only one division under super middle weight:
Junior middle weight = 69.9kg
Middle weight = 72.6kg
Super middle weight = 76.2kg
Going up or down one weight division is'nt uncommon and let's face it 3.6kg between these divisions is bugger all difference. At the weigh for the fight Mundine was 76.2 and Echols was 75.8. Yes Mundine is a bigger boxer with a bigger frame, but Echols is considered one of the hardest punchers pound for pound and often described as a one punch knock out.
Mundine won the fight because he out boxed Echols. Echols punched himself tired without landing enough damaging blows (you can't hurt what you can't hit). He wasn't able to cut the ring off and keep Mundine in the corners. Once he had punched himself tired, Mundine picked him off in the second half of the fight. Smart boxing on Mundine's behalf.
Cheers
