I haven't watched the whole fight but I have seen the first round several times. The referee clearly made a blunder in not telling the fighters to break before grabbing Green. Green understandably dropped his guard but remained fair game for Mundine and it was a legal blow.
The rules don't really cover a referee's error but, at a stretch, Mundine's blow could have been considered an unintentional foul and the fight declared a no contest; a popular outcome for all concerned
