ONE of the highlights of the Mundine-Green fight card at Adelaide Oval will be the appearance of the magnificent Moloney twins.
Both have represented Australia at Commonwealth Games, with Andrew winning gold at Glasgow three years ago.
The pair of livewire 26-year-olds are now world rated as professionals, Jason at super-bantamweight (55.5kg) and Andrew at bantamweight (53.5kg). Both are unbeaten in 11 pro fights.

Danny Green says they and Brisbane’s Jeff Horn are Australian boxing’s stars of the future.
“Ripper blokes and great fighters,” Green said.
“One of the best things about fighting on such a big stage as Adelaide Oval is that a lot of Australians are also going to see the Moloney boys. They are all class in and out of the ring.”
The twins are coached in Melbourne by Brian Butler, who has trained 32 national champions and says he finally has a pair of goers who can take world title belts.
Tomorrow night Andrew Moloney faces Filipino Renoel Pael, who has a 21-4-1 (win-loss-draw) record.
Brother Jason faces another Filipino, Marco Demecillo, who is 22-6-1.
Brisbane’s world No. 10 light-heavyweight Trent Broadhurst tackles rugged Sydney veteran Nader Hamdan, who went 12 rounds in a world title fight with Mundine in 2008.
