The fight with Geale was extremely close. I think the first time I watched it I was leaning towards mundine, but the d2nd time I watched it and scored each round on its won merit it actually ended up being a draw. MiracleMan its probably not wrong to say Mundine won that one (as it could have gone either way) but to say that he "clearly" won isnt right. Especially if you go by the theory of "the challenger has to take the title"...
The theory you mention mate is a fallacy - to fairly judge a fight means scoring red v blue. No fighter should be given an advantage over another
