Seriously read this from his site. www.secondsout.com

PAUL UPHAM ANSWERS: I agree with both of you that Soliman may have in fact won. He clearly threw and landed more punches. The trouble with scoring Soliman fights is that his punches are much lighter. But having said that, there were rounds where Mundine did very little at all and couldn’t land his harder punches because Soliman’s movement kept putting him off. Just between us, scoring off the television at home, I had Soliman winning 8 rounds. The problem I have with that is knowing both boxers so well, it makes it hard for me to score the fight without emotion sneaking in. I’m going to watch Mundine-Soliman 3 for a second time, score it again and report back to you.

For anyone who saw this fight it was a mismatch and Mundine won by 4-5 rounds clearly. It baffles me that this guy is the top media person in Australia for boxing at the moment. Always on fox sports news.

And we wonder why our sport is going backwards in OZ. When your leading man clearly can't judge a fight and probably has a bias for and against certain fighters like Choc its embarassing.

Sure the fight was a joke, but Mundine won it 116-112, possibly 117-112.

Paul Upham clean up your act!!!

upham seems alright most of the time but he shows crazy bias. i also remember him picking green to win that fight which i thought any boxing person would know wasnt going to happen

Thats what pisses me off most. He tries to act neutral and non-bias. To get credibility. And then at the end he will be like "Sam TKO" lol.

I would rather people who just hate someone to come out and say it. Rather than getting credibility to become more powerful to direct there hate.

I mean if he said at the start i hate Mundine so Sams gonna win and he won 8 rounds. We wouldn't take it serious.

But when people act normal and than put it in at the end to seem legit its frustrating.

Kind of like the Setanta commentators pre Floyd vs Hatton.
