What does everyone think of the result? Close fight but I thought Mundine done enough even though i didn't really score round by round. Good fight by 2 old war horses.

It was tough. It was exciting, and it was close.

Surprisingly, Green's power was not the decisive factor. He scored his points by keeping his head down and his arse up while sticking his jab into Mundine for 10 rounds.

It was a courageous performance by Mundine and seeing him fight with some meat on his bones demonstrated what a fallacy it was for him to waste the latter part of his career at 154 pounds.

Not sure which fight the judge who had it 98-90 was watching though? It wasn't the one I saw.

I had it a draw but felt Mundine was the more deserving. I reckon Green's chin hasn't been the same since the back-to-back KO losses to Tarver and Wlod.

You bet on the wrong fighter.

I had choc winning by two points.
Some of the under card fights were just plain embarassij6 though

I thought Mundine won too, although it was close. The person who had Green winning 98-90 shouldn't judge again; that's the type of card that leads me to believe they'd decided ahead of time who they were going to score for.

Hubert Minn is his name and he is a 70 year old Hawaiian who would be best advised to head home very quickly.

I thought Mundine won. Danny was more active but not landing much. However it's a worrying for boxing.

Round seven clearly being a Mundine round, 2 judges awarded 10-9 for Mundine plus the deduction making it a 10-8. The judge that had it 96-94 scored the round a draw then failed to deduct a point in his adding up of the total score.

Im also not sure about the point deduction for Mundine, the referee had yet to break them Danny was stupidly looking at the referee and both guys were hitting on the break constantly all night long. I don't think the point off was justified. We've seen worse in boxing. A call of let him go to green is not calling both fighters to break. The referee was yet to physically seperate them. Sorry guys it's fair game at that point.

!00% agree with you. One thing though, obviously you don't have to agree. Yea Green was more active but I thought that was "survival active" to try keep Mundine off him rather than effective active if you know what I mean

Yes I don't think it was Mundine's fault. The ref was on the other side of Green and with all the noise at the fight, Mundine probably didn't even hear him. Protect yourself at all times and Green wasn't looking at Mundine. Probably a bit of a cheap shot but Mundine was not to blame I don't think.

150% AGREE Green was holding , committed the biggest mistake of all and took his eyes of his opponent , choc hit him with a LEGAL punch ref had not said break so Choc was entitled to punch ,, Green should of had a count put on him and then a ko victory to Mundine ,

Sounds like I was lucky not to lose my dough.

Why US ref & 2 judges for Australian title? Admittedly, Adelaide is touch short on ring officials due to the state of boxing in SA, but what's wrong with guys from other States?

I had it 97-92 Mundine. If they wanted to rob him, they should've just given it a draw. But for all Chocs hard work coming up in weight and clearly landing crisper punches and controlling thering and fight... To be robbed like that... Come on! Even giving it 96-94 to Green is far fetched.

I looked Hubert Minn up, and from what i saw, he's never been completely offside with any other judges in scoring bouts.

I seriously don't think suggesting he had been bribed would be an outlandish statement here.

how about green going down in the first ?? WTF was that all about ??

It's just strange all around really. So many mistakes from officials, judges appearing to not be watching the fight. It's too much work to put in, in such a hard sport like boxing to not be rewarded fairly. I see so many Green supporters on Facebook that before the fight had so much hatred for Mundine now saying Mundine was robbed.


It's all inconsequential really both men are in their 40s and the only thing that matters is this. 11 years ago when they were both world ranked at Super Middleweight they met in a (IIRC) title eliminator and Mundine domintated the fight and won a wide decision.

Green was just doing what he thought he needed to do for drama. He's spent the last 16 years doing what he has to do and saying what he has to say to get people on side with him.

Nailed it. Lastnights robbery was just cheap consolation for Green. He knows he lost, and even the people (his fans) that have been spewing the same bs rhetoric (weight drained) for the last 11 years know he lost. So, as much as history will show Green won. He knows that he is a fraud, and so does everyone else. He has to live with that.

Mundine is only ever happy when he has something to complain to the media about. Last night will keep him happy for years

Take a listen to the video above. You can clearly hear the referee well before Mundine strikes Green and the referee is almost in touching distance of them when he says it. That he didn't hear the call is all too convenient. He heard it alright

Danny Green and fight were saved by his correct answer to referee’s question after Mundine's cheap shot

DANNY Green was seeing double. His legs were jelly. All he could hear was a numb whirring.

After 11 years of waiting, 55 seconds into his rematch against arch rival Anthony Mundine and Green was gone. Concussed.

Green had been caught in the back of the head, while not looking, by a cheap shot from Mundine as referee Frank Garza tried to break the fighters. Garza wanted to call Friday night’s fight off, then and there. And Green’s boxing legacy came down to one single question from the ref: what is the ringside doctor’s name?

“I’m looking at him (the ref) going ‘ahhh ahhhh ahhhh’,” Green said. “He said: ‘That’s it. I’m calling it off’.

“I went noooo, no, no - it’s Doctor O’Neill. I just sprung into action. Bang.”

Bogan whisperer, let go of him is not a vocal order for the fighters to break or stop fighting.
