Melbourne, Victoria, Australia-

WBC Silver Super Welterweight Title-
Anthony Mundine (WBC #32; 47-6, 27 KOs)
Split Dec. 12
Champion Sergey Rabchenko (WBC #2, WBA #5, IBF #8, TTR #14; 25-1, 18 KOs)
- The scores were 115-113 and 116-112 for Mundine and 115-113 for Rabchenko.
- Scoring the bout for TTR, I also had Mundine winning 115-113.
- As per Antoine Patry DesLauriers: "Mundine was happy being evasive and jabbing... Basically rolling with Rabchenko's shots for the first 2 minutes of each round and then trying to steal the round with some well timed counter rights. Rabchenko wasted WAY too much on Mundine's arms and lost the little sting he had. Mundine was more efficient with his offense. Rabchenko had nice moments with some liver work but didn't remain focused on it and again wasted lots of flurries."
