Round 3: Pitt working the body – looking more aggressive this round blood coming from the nose of Aloua, as well as some swelling. Pitt looks very confidence at this point. Pitt 10-9

 
Round 4: Aloua with a great body combination finished with a left hook. Despite swelling around his left eye, Aloua catches Pitt with a short right-hook on the inside and he is down, face first. Back up at the count of eight, the fight should be called here – Aloua storms in for the finish and renders Pitt unconscious. What an upset! Aloua KO 4.

Round 5: Mundine boxing and moving in the fifth. Relatively uneventful round, Mundine avoiding confrontation at all costs and it’s turning the fight into a stinker. 10-9 Mundine

 
Round 6: Mundine turning to a shoulder roll defense in the sixth, to no avail. Clottey is landing everything. Mundine down again.Mundine down again. Clottey storms in for finish, it’s nearly done. Referee giving Mundine an eternity to rest. The bell saves Mundine 10-8 Clottey

Round 10: Mundine survives after looking like he was out. Mundine struggles to walk to his stool. 10-8 Clottey

 
Round 11: Terrible refereeing at this point. Clottey is being outworked, but he’s effortlessly walking through Mundine’s best work. Mundine might be bigger, but Clottey’s physical strength is levels above Mundine, who is boxing and moving like he thinks he is ahead. Clottey neglecting his defence at this point. 10-9 Mundine

 
Round 12: Scores are irrelevant. Mundine needs a stoppage to win here. Clottey basically ensuring it goes to twelve rounds as roles have clearly reversed. Moral victory in a sense for Mundine, given that he has somehow gone twelve rounds. If this fight had an International referee – we would’ve been home four rounds ago.
