Boxrec has no record of the score. And I haven't been able to find the official scores anywhere.

OK, I'm a bit thin-skinned when German boxing is described as corrupt.
I know there have been terrible decisions but I don't think it's worse than in Britain, for example.
Let's hope that there will be no controvercial decision today.

You wouldnt hear it here in Oz brutha teke , to many haters and opposition nutthuggers on this forum. You might like to try a German boxing forum.i reckon youd get more of a debate in Ottkes homeland of Germany as opposed to Mundine ever getting much support in his Own country. They''ll always find sumthin to criticise brutha choc about.No matter who he knocks out . At least he has his peoples support.

Not to talk of Italy or Denmark

Well one thing is for sure - Ottke always knew the score when he fought - hell even German television sometimes filmed over the shulder of the judges...

i watched all ottke`s 21 title fights and IMO nothing wrong with the gloves in the mundine fight

gatti was useless and just made excuses for his defeat throwing out the loaded gloves comment.

faetter is right with the ottke new the scoring remark.

there was an overhead casino type camera with zoom lens whcih focused in on the scorecards plain as day.

You poor man.

Regarding the scoring at the time...
Mundine was behind by 1 on 2 cards and 2 or 3 on the other if memory serves me right.

He would have needed a KO to win had he got up from the KO. mundine did get 2 points deducted for headbutting though (which seems a bit steep).

It's been said recently (last 3 or so years) in reference to that fight that Mundine was ahead. Barry Michaels and even Kostya have said it in commentary but it's not true.

Actually, there such a comment on Boxrec, but I think it's been posted by someone other than a Boxrec editor. Boxrec used to have the scores listed for the fight, and Mundine was definitely behind on all 3 cards at the time of the stoppage.

He counted all the way to 10 while kneeling over Mundine's prone body before waving the fight off
