[JohnS]

Now that the fight is over I'm keen to follow the next fight on the cards...Darren Sharpe vs Pay-TV provider Foxtel.

How you going to score 98-90!? . Even after losing point for the dog shot..as much as I dislike him, after watching the the whole fight Mundine clearly one. Don't kid yourselves. 

don't care. mundane has to live with the loss. it is in the record books. all that counts in the end. it would hardly be the first fight with a wonky result. he is right in saying that this is part of the reason for people losing interest and faith in the sport. but then people like him are another reason.

and personally, i am with a great number of people who seem to think he should have been disqualified after the cheap shot.

in the end, justice done.

Yup, he should of stopped the fight but he didn't. Green insisted on going on after getting checked over.

to be fair to green, having been whacked in the noggin when not looking, probably didn't have the clearest of minds (probably never does) and may have thought that he would be conceding. but it should never be up to a competitor to make those decisions. that is why we have referees. otherwise, we'd have dennis lillee bowling with his back snapped and shane watson in hospital for three weeks because of a bad haircut.

but seriously, that decision has to be from the officials and no one else. that includes disqualifying mundane or not, and allowing or preventing green from continuing.
