Always going to have different opinions when a fight goes to the judges. Too bad one didn't get knocked out.

Lol the campaigner Mundine should of been disqualified in the first round for that cheap shot.
Correct me if I'm wrong but on all of the scorecards in the image posted, the total for each judge adds up to the total given without removal of either fighters deducted point?look up the scorecard
i wonder if anything can be changed due to an error in rnd 7.
should have been a majority draw on the scorecards
Green did nothing either... What did green do to mundine all fight tbh?! Barely tagged him with a clean hit, let alone a knock down. His face was beaten from his head being rocked back by mundines stiff jab. Green came out aggressive but was cooked by the end of the first and was just holding onto mundine the rest of the fight. Even mundines biggest haters can't say green fought a good fight, he was putrid.
Another win for Bignell and Weatheril, screwed the public over again.How much did the SA government pay for this again?
Ref said " let go let go lets break then bang mundine hit . It was very loud you must be deaf . Mundine is a sniper . In the 1st fight Green was a gentleman and could have nailed Mundine when Mundine slipped . Anyway Mundine was lucky not to be DisqualifiedNo he shouldn't, the ref didn't call break. He stuffed up again by deducting a point, protect yourself at all times.
EDIT: I need to watch a replay, some are saying the ref did call break, I sure didn't see it at the time.
Totally agree with the last 2 paragraphs in particular. Had the fight been stopped, as it possibly should have been, it would've been a pretty appropriate ending to the 2 guys careers. Mundine with the dog act, Green felled by the type of punch he's spent years campaigning against.Can't stand Mundine but anyone who thinks he wasn't robbed is blinded by their dislike of the bloke. Early rounds where even with both fighters were useless. Mundine completely controlled the fight from about half way through.
This will be looked back on in years to come as our generation's Fine Cotton. 98-90? Honestly that judge needs to be hauled over the coals. I would find it impossible to defend that scorecard.
That was also a dog hit from Mundine in Rd 1. I was hoping the fight would be stopped then just for the melts that would've occurred.
An absolute farcical night for Boxing. From Quade Cooper's opponent to the fact these guys are expected to pocket $10M to the end result.
Agree with some of that but all the betting agencies had Green go in as favourite but at the end of the 10th he was 7 to 1. That doesn't happen unless they know Green has lost. Absolutely no way Green really won that fight. He won the popularity contest and we all know boxing results are prone to corruption.Really that was an ordinary fight and not pretty to watch from either boxer. I'm glad Green won for a few reasons: no doubt that cheap shot from Mundine changed the fight, Green has had the better career, it's better for the Green/Mundine rivalry to have a 1 all standing and I'm a Green fan.
Really at the end of the 10th the point decision could have gone either way and I was worried Mundine might get the points. In saying that I think it's a bit of a weird perception to go with the fighter who finished stronger (Mundine) at the expense of the earlier rounds, which went Green's way.
I also don't get the hype about Mundine going up in weight to fight Green this time. Throughout Mundine's career there's been a lot of talk that he went too low in weight and should have stayed middleweight/super middleweight instead of dropping to light middleweight. Super middleweight is just 3kg less than what he fought at last night and Mundine looked a lot healthier at the heavier weight vs his bouts at light middleweight.
Unfortunately we never got to see them fight at light heavyweight in their prime, because that's where the best fight would have been.
If there's a rematch (at the moment I don't want to see one) I hope it's not at Adelaide in front of a half empty stadium. Even though a Melbourne fight probably would have been at Etihad the perfect venue is aami park with the crowd right on top of the action.Agree with some of that but all the betting agencies had Green go in as favourite but at the end of the 10th he was 7 to 1.

Having said that it may have been because of the cheap shot of Mundine which clearly concussed him. He never recovered and Mundine took advantage.
REMATCH!!!
So about that CM Punk fight....Having said that it's UFC all the way for me now.
Can't stand Mundine but anyone who thinks he wasn't robbed is blinded by their dislike of the bloke. Early rounds where even with both fighters were useless. Mundine completely controlled the fight from about half way through.

Brilliant postTotally agree with the last 2 paragraphs in particular. Had the fight been stopped, as it possibly should have been, it would've been a pretty appropriate ending to the 2 guys careers. Mundine with the dog act, Green felled by the type of punch he's spent years campaigning against.
As for the Cooper 'fight'......
Round 9 was a dominant round by Mundine . Thats why the round 10 odds were Green was gonna be knocked out and that was the only way Mundine could win it . As it happened round 10 was pretty even . So suckers on all the Gamblers eh!Agree with some of that but all the betting agencies had Green go in as favourite but at the end of the 10th he was 7 to 1.
