How could mundine honestly think he won

I scored the bout 114-114 with a either two point variance in favour of Mundine or a one point variance in favour of Geale. Anything beyond these bounds looks like Special Olympics scoring to me.

But with Aussie boxing's deification with 'workrate' and activity, however ineffectual, bout's today are won on whoever is the fittest.

Well gee this wouldn't have anything to do with you have money down on the DRAW now would it? Plus a few hundred on Mundine

Real impartial

So given all that, Geale will probably win...but at least I'll be a very interested observer!

That would be the case expect that Geale out jabbed Mundine all night. Geale's jabs were much more effective.

How can you win a fight by sitting on the back foot and throwing 20-30 punches a round? Mundine was the definition of ineffective boxing last night. He fought a garbage fight

Just watched Mundines interview after the fight. Boy oh Boy i'm gobsmacked, he really believes he won the fight clearly

I'm starting to think he is punch drunk and has gone mad

Well, its true I stood to make about $7.5 k if there was a draw...I don't deny that. But my scoring system is objective and impartial, and if there is an even round or an even round or a round that be scored towards either Fighter A or even, I keep a running sub-score so that I can gauge what i determine to be the outside possible scores.

I think my scoring methods are better than than many judges, and in years past when I much more involved I used to be a 4th judge at many of the smaller nsw shows. Of course I didn't keep running sub-scores when I did that as that wasn't my job, but when at home or in the club watching bouts I score and keep sub-scores also.

Its a real shame when I find that judges reach scores that jsut are not possible unless every possible break and then some in terms of scoring went in favour of Fighter B over Fighter A...I can tell you this stuff has a lot to do with many of the most knowledgable boxing people turning their backs on the agme and leaving it in the hands of the charlatans.

So yes, for what it matters I can score, and I can also recognise judges and fans who can't.

No, no you can't.

114-114 is just retarted.

A good 95% of posters from Aussies to Brittish and Americans all had it a shutout or close to. If anything you have no idea on how to score a fight.

You lost your bets, take it like a man. Even Bazil had Geale winning comfortably

You cannot score for shit I am afraid.

I am astounded that you and Crusher thinks Mudine won. Please post RBR so we can see what rounds you generously favor Mundine in and whther YOU favor the same fighter.

[bazil]

mundine lost but 116-113 or 116-112 was about right.

if choc had thrown more things would of been different, geale probly still wins but at least he might have a reason to say he was robbed. As it was he wasn't even close

daniel geale was just as bad as choc.
1st fight in 2009 geale did the identical thing to mundine as he did last night.
When the scores were read in 2009 geale immediately left the ring and said nothing.
Mundine grabbed the microphone and said put your hands together for daniel geale,he is one tough son of a gun,but geale had already walked out of the ring.

ohhhh dear.. thank christ your not a judge. you want to talk scoring punches, geale landed twice as many body shots than mundine landed total punches
meanwhile in the real world geale also rocked him every second round or so.

mundine did NOTHING.. he just pawed with the jab which geale geale was beating him to anyway. geale jabbed his fucking head off.

[Above Deck]

What people don't realize is that Mundine really does think he won the fight and it's not just a show, he suffers from a narcissism personality disorder.

The cunts fucking delusional and even if those around him told him, he'd only turn on them and rage at them, I feel sorry for his old man if anyone.

I personally think Geale won in a shut out, I couldn't give Mundine a single round.
When Mundine did open up, Geale landed at will, he exposed Mundines defense last night and Geale's footwork was on a whole different level.

Just my take on it.

[rusty nails]

to put it simply, had choc been given that fight it would have to go down as the worst robbery i have ever seen. THATS how "close" it was

[Tuilagi]

Crushers sentiment is fair enough with the first fight but there is no doubt in this fight that apart from the flurrys Geale landed more effective flush punches without doubt and was a clear winner.

The fact he could drop or hurt Mundine will be the only disappointment for Daniel in spite of the rhetoric pre-fight.
