My issue with Mundines fight was that he was constantly looking for the counterpunch. He had his right hand cocked the whole fight, but almost never threw it.
If you lose a point in the first round, and are pretty convincingly losing the earlier rounds, you need to be seen to be more aggressive and force the judges to think who deserves the points.
I don't know what he was waiting for, but even in the last round he didn't seem aggressive enough to me. Perhaps he thought he was winning the whole fight and was trying to save it? I dunno, but punching stats show that while you could potentially try and make a case for him, it is far from convincing.
