Mundine - Green, should cheats prosper?

[madbluboy]

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.

Boxing has a very flawed scoring system in that one fighter can dominate and win 5 rounds by a wide margin and lose 7 rounds by a razor close margin and correctly lose the fight.

Also casual fans tend to favour the aggressor because they have less appreciation for the defensive aspect of the sport. Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao was a perfect example of this, I'm a big Pacquiao fan but he clearly lost a one sided fight but on facebook thousands of people were outraged calling it a robbery and that Mayweather was running.

I scored the Mundine Green fight round by rounds but I lost my bit of paper. (We have just had another baby who also has been in the children's hospital.) I will rescore the fight again when I get time.
