I am American and have no idea if this fight was televised. I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out if there's any hope of a video of it popping up at some point online.

Fights at Brisbane Tattersalls Club are not televised. They are short programs put on for the club members.

No, I believe it's not on television or video taped, which is a real shame, cos from what i am reliably told, it was an absolute robbery, McCracken apparently won 7 rounds, at worst 6, as shown by one Judge, It's a shame because if there was video evidence, then we could all see, what I'm told was an outrageous and atrocious decision, but to be fair, I did not see the fight, and am only telling it, as reliably told to me.

Blakey and Team McCracken are absolutely seething, and know they got shafted. I wonder, whether it had anything to do with the usual favourites, who always officiate on anything Mundine? just food for thought

Certainly not a good look for boxing in Queensland, when this sort of garbage happens, The sport up here, is being controlled by astute and absolute professionals?? As If?

How would I get in touch with this Brian Kirwin? I keep top 20 rankings of each division for my blog. The winner of this fight might earn a ranking in my book, but I'd hate to decide that just based on some arguable and mixed scorecards.

I was in attendance and thought that McCracken won, albiet it close. Was a good fight but was very close. Aloua winning the early rounds and tiring with McCracken taking it to him in the latter rounds.

Thanks for helping me out with the video, guys! It was a clear robbery. 97-93 McCracken...maybe a round wider.

I thought McCracken won. Not often a kiwi get's a close decision over in Oz.

Wasn't a robbery...was a close fight. Lot of McCrakens shots landed on Daves gloves

I have finally had a chance to sit down and watch this fight myself. I would have to say while it was a competitive fight, it was a clear robbery. I scored it 94-97 to Anthony McCracken; it would seem to me that the judges scored the fight based on how the fighters faces appeared at the end of the bout :o

Having said that, it was a good fight, and Aloua has a real future ahead of him. It would be nice to see him throw more, because he strings his combinations together quite well. The was a clear speed difference between the two, with Aloua having the advantage.

I think both boys deserve a rematch, as long as McCracken gives that cuts some time to heal. It looked like a nasty one!

I feel for McCracken, twice he's been in with a kiwi in his own country and clearly won, only to have the decision given the other way.

He's beaten Cameron and Aloua and been ripped off.

I think cameron beat McCracken. I think Aloua was fortunate. I hope Berridge get's a fair deal this time.
