Watched it twice in full. At the pub I thought Choc just pulled it out but didnt score it. The next viewing I had Choc by a point..like others have mentioned that 2nd round played a big part in the final tally. I thought Geale looked the better fighter overall however...and had his momentum not kept being interrupted in the midrounds by the tape coming off Mundine's gloves things could have been a bit different. Pretty decent domestic scrap actually..had a bit of everything.
Enjoyed the first fight when I eventually got to see it the problem is I got no chance of catching this return live either and it's a genuine world class fight .
So nobody is going to rewatch it and score it? Glad everyone thinks Choc won though (bar delusional Sox)
I just rewatched it and had it 115-113. 7-4-1 to Mundine. Last time I had it 114-113 to Geale, Lot of close rounds. Could have gone either way
i had choc by 3 points. he won rounds 10,11,12 when the fight was up for grabs. round 12 pretty easily by memory.
When I watched it the frst time I had it 114-113 mundine Second time I had it 114-114 difference the second time I gave the first round even.
Mundine won on the OFFICIAL scorecards which I didnt agree with but that's reality . Now onto the rematch that mundine didn't want a bar of until his stock completely sunk whilst Geales rose to huge heights for Ozzie fighter.. Geales actually doing a Mundine now by fighting a lesser foe then who he should be whilst receiving a lot of money .. Good on Geale..
Nearly everybody else has him winning, maybe you just don't know what you're watching - punches hitting arms and gloves don't count. Geale is getting the rematch because he has something Mundine wants that is all.
I have Geale winning as I deducted points for the bull**** wraps business, also thought you had to beat the champ to beat the champ. PS. I was at the fight as a Mundine fan but left a Geale fan and will be flyin to Sydney to cheer him on.
atsch No, to win the belt you just have to win the fight. You "deducted points" :nut. That is like me saying Hearns beat Hagler because I decided to DQ him when I watched it.
