Comments Thread For: Mundine Survives Scare To Edge Rabchenko In Melbourne

[JakeNDaBox]

Anthony Mundine survived a strong second-half surge from Sergey Rabchenko to take a questionable split decision in their 12-round super welterweight contest Wednesday evening in Melbourne, Australia.

The story line of the fight wasn’t necessarily who was the better fighter, but how the three judges came to the final scores that were produced in light of what was previously revealed through open scoring. A three-way draw through eight rounds somehow became a clear cut win for Mundine on two of the three scorecards, despite Rabchenko enjoying his best moments of the fight over that stretch.

Why won't this ****ty, boring, racist boxer go away? Does anyone outside of Australia give 2 ****s about this guy? I know I won't even give one **** for him. I give ****s for more important things.

Has anyone seen this fight. If so is it worth watching and was the decision just?

Mundine lost. I was there. It was pretty uninteresting fight really, and the Melbourne mafia were involved in the promotion... it's pretty obvious they paid the judges, two of which were Melbourne based. Kinda sad really, because Mundine never has been great, and always seems to get away with cheating (Geale No. 1). Anyway... most informed people left the arena knowing that would happen anyway. Free tickets were worth it... so glad I didn't have to pay to watch a robbery and a boring one at that.

I just watched it and I thought Mundine won 116-112. Number of close rounds but Mundine had cleaner work. Also thought the fight was pretty decent.

No he didn't I watched the fight Mundine won a clear decision 116-112 in my books. He got hurt in the tenth round but not as bad as this article would suggest, he held on like a champion and won comfortably. The fight was exciting too count your lucky stars you picked up free tickets.

I didn't really score the whole fight but based on equal scores after 8 I thought rabchenko done enough to edge it.
I knew mundine had it though straight after the fight he shook hands with mick gatto and gatto gave him a wink and a nod!
Either way open scoring is pretty ****. Effects fighters and judges as this article suggests!
