Offical scorecard's for mundine-ottke at the time of the ko?

Yes Mundine imo was doing very well in the first half of the fight but Ottke was coming on well from memory towards the end and i believe Ottke would have won if Mundines chin held out to go 12 albeit by close margin.

 

Was behind by 2 on 2 cards, and maybe 1 on another. Cant remember exactly.

 

I had him 1 up but I can understand how he was 2 behind on the local cards

 

According to BoxRec Mundine WAS ahead on points prior to the 10th round KO:

mundine was ahead when he decided to take a nap.

 

No he wasn't, that Boxrec comment's been there since they removed the official scores from Boxrec...dunno why they did it unless whoever did it is a Mundine nuthugger.

Remember he was docked 2 points for headbutting a few rounds earlier, so no way could he have been ahead, considering he was doing a lot of running in some rounds, to the extent that Ottke started appealing to the ref to make Mundine engage.

 

You may well be right IBM. I just took the BoxRec note on face value.

 

Honestly rewatch it & tell me what the **** Ottke did in the 1st 7 rds. I don't think he even landed a punch yet the judges did have him up on all scorecards from post fight reports. He did win rd 10 pretty impressive though............sorry Ash I couldn't help myself.

 

Mate I think round 10 was closer than the judges had it :yep

 

Mundine was definitely behind on the Judges cards...:deal

I remember posting the Official Scorecards on ESB... But they seem to have disappeared into the 5th Dimension:think

 

Talk of the Ottke scorecard againts bumbine will always bring Oz and IBM out of hibernation

 

I still remember the fight very well. Though I wasn't scoring it at the time, I recall Mundine starting well but after the first 5 rounds it really felt like Ottke had worked Mundine out.
Regardless of the KO, by that stage Ottke was on his way to a win, unfortunately.

Mundine did fight extremely well though and him fading was more to do with inexperience than anything else. Damn, if he had half the bravado and courage he took to his early fights now he would have been a legit world champ for sure, though I agree he wouldn't ever have got past guys like Kessler and Calzaghe.

 

Mundine was also knocked out about the 8th too... he got hit with a big right hand in the corner and almost got dropped. Plus the 2 point headbutt deduction, plus all the running, and I think he was definately behind. Only just, but definately behind..

 

Ottke was ahead 86-85 x 2 and 87-84 on the other card.
