I don't need to look at the vid...
I remember this fight like it was yesterday..
Until the KO, Mundine was actually winning the fight.. Probably not on the judges cards, because lets face it.. Ottke wasn't allowed to lose in Germany.. That's why he had ALL of his fights there..
When Mundine went down.. Look at the shock on Ottke's face.. He can't believe what he's done! It was not a flush hit & Ottke couldn't bust a g**** even if it was..
The ONLY genuine thing is that the punch scuffed his temple.. I know from experience what it's like, to be hit there.. I took a flush one from a HW while sparring, & the guy had the decency to hold me up while I regained consciousness.. Even so, I was only out for a few secs, but probably would not have made the count, had I been competing..
In contrast, Mundine was out cold for ages.. If it wasn't Ottke in Germany, I wouldn't be too su****ious, same as I wouldn't if Mudine had been losing... BUT, it WAS & he WASN'T.. I smell FIX.....
