Watched it today: M-G 9-10 10-8 10-10 10-9 9-10 9-10 10-9 10-9 9-10 10-9 10-9 10-9 116-112 for Choc I decided to watch this fight again to amp me up for the impending rematch. My score was wider than I had anticipated and probably wider than I have had it in the past. It is a cracking fight and although Geale has a great work rate it was great to see that Mundine has that heart of a champion to fire back under duress. There were some really close rounds, I had to agree with Barry and score round 3 even, round 4 was a hard working round from Geale but Mundine came back and visibly hurt him to the body. Round 7 was another round where Geale really put in work but Mundine just kept timing some hard rights in response and in round 8 Choc started to bust Geale up with his shots. Geale had a good round 9 in response to the previous two and won it. Round 10 was very similar to round 7 with clean effective Mundine punches taking it as in round 11. Round 12 was close then Geale stunned "the man" and Choc just took over and put on a clinic, I nearly scored the 12th for Geale but Choc fought back too hard. A very good and competitive fight, Choc had his defence spot on and negated a lot of Geale's work that way, that being said; Geale would not stop throwing and displayed the work ethic of a champion although I felt that he smothered his own work and threw a lot of arm punches.
Who you trying to convince? Us or yourself? The fact you had to rescore it suggests your uncertainty. The professional boxing scoring system is a much maligned, corrupted and widely interpreted method of determining a winner. I've heard so many different scores for this fight, which just proves my point. And no, I don't know of a better way.
So widely different to 20a. This shows how open the system is to corruption. You guys are obviously not being corrupt but your scores reflect your lack of impartiality.
I will close the "**** of the year competition" early - you are too much of a **** for it to be competitive. Better luck for 2014 everybody else. I've seen the fight many times, I don't sit down with a pen and paper every time I watch it. The score was wider than the last time I did it, so what? Why don't you watch it and score it instead of being a ****? :hi:
I remember watching it with two mate and i had it 1pt for Mundine and my mates had it a draw and 1 pt for Geale. Another mate was at the fight and said the majority of crowd had it for Geale mainly because they were cheering for him but he thought Mundine just edged it. Close fight.
Yep agree, that rd was basically a three point turnaround because Geale won the rd but copped the knockdown meaning if that doesn't happen he wins it 10-9 instead of losing it 8-10
