Looks like Rabchenko hype is over - lost a split decision to Mundine.... aint seen the fight.

He could have sat on his mandatory and awaited a world title shot, now it would seem to be a back to the drawing board and without TV revenue a huge blow to himself and Hatton promotions.

Mundine is like a bad cold that doesn't go away.

Didn't see it myself but going by twitter it seems a bit of a robbery.

The bits I've read seem to think it was a close (but fairish) decision. The round by round on the Aussie forum here suggested it could have gone either way by a point or so.

Sounds like Rabchenko came on strong and left it a bit too little too late (to be certain of the victory) so should probably win a rematch, but still not good form for someone who was considered of world class potential. Should have been dispatching Mundine fairly comfortably.

Crikey. Mundine has more lives than Peter Bonetti in a litter tray.

my one and only attempt at the prediction league is pretty much in tatters now thanks to this fight :(

I thought Rab would win this easily.

Damn didnt expect this lol. Gotta give props to Mundine though to be fair. Keeps turning the clock back.

Mundine must be one of the most delusional idiots in boxing.

He still thinks a fight with Mayweather is on the horizon. I can't stand the guy fair play to him I thought Rabchenko would stop him.

Crikey, can't imagine many predicted a Mundine victory, I certainly didn't. Never been a fan of his at all, but fair play he's earned his stripes over the years. A lesser character would probably have retired after the Ottke fight.

must be, he is. Who is more deluded?

Yeah props to Mundine Clottey leathered him!!

Not a bad fighter Mundine. Just shy of top class in his day. Bit chinny but considering he came into the game late he has had a good career I think and still clearly has a bit left in the tank. He has always had a tendency to spout off a bit, but so what? A lot of fighters do.

I had Mundine to win by decision at 6.5. There was no way Mundine was going to lose a career ending fight in his backyard. I know Mundine is smart enough to realise there is absolutely no chance of a mayweather fight.

To quote the late boxing manager Joe Jacobs "We wuz robbed".

i thought Rab won by a couple of rounds
