That's it for tonight!
Phew, that's it from me - a disappointing undercard but the main fight lived up to the hype, in my opinion.
You can check out our first take on the post-match fallout here, we'll see you next time.
"Hey it's a fight, they're all dirty. So what, he's trying to bowl me over? That's the game. "
Green has paid tribute to his camp and his family and the "amazing journey" they've had together.
"I'm feeling 53. But tomorrow morning I'll feel 63. But for whatever how long I've got in my life I'm gonna feel 23.
"I just want to pay tribute to everyone who came to support me!"
"I F**KING LOVE ALL OF YOU!"
Green is chaired around the ring as he flipped the bird to someone in the Mundine camp.
Some big statements from the winner after the victory:
"I want to say with Australia - this has nothing to do with black or white, this is a fight, it is sport. That has nothing to do with colour! I won the fight against another man! That's it!"
"And that just feels so good. I'm an old man but I gave it my best. I just want to pay a special tribute, I want everyone in here to raise their hands and clap, I dont' care what you think, but for putting on a show for all you guys, for being one of the best athletes in the country, hands up for Anthony Mundine now please!"
GREEN WINS THE REMATCH!
Wow. The judges have it 94-94, 96-94, 98-90 for a majority decision. Land Down Under booms out again as the crowd cheers. Mundine can't believe it, neither can I to be honest.
Back to topThe pair embrace, as their rivalry is surely now at an end. All we have to do now is wait for the judges...
It's all over!
They both celebrate, as you'd expect, but I think Mundine did enough. This is gonna be a big call from all three judges, and if Choc is the winner, that first round point deduction is going to be a huge talking about.
Two minutes left!
Nice parries from Mundine as Green gets really aggressive to start the final round. Green then slips, nothing more, and the fight resets.
One round to go!
I think this is Mundine's fight to be honest. He was behind after the first few rounds but since the last few have been all Choc. There's a bit of blood coming from Green as well as the ninth comes to an end.
A late flurry from The Man as the eighth ends!
Round for Mundine, and that puts him just ahead - he threw a few haymakers late in the round that didn't connect, but he did enough I think. He may get a stop before the end if he lands one of those, but he may not need one, depending on how the judges have scored this.
Back to topRound seven finished!
That's a 10-8 round for Mundine with the point reduction, which could be all the difference. Three more to go.
Now Green loses a point!
Boy, that could be really important - I think it was for an elbow. Wow.
Six in the books!
That's Green's again I think - but so far apart from the fourth to Mundine, none have been really clear. Four to go!
More boos as Mundine first nearly throws another punch from behind the ref's shoulder, and then lands one to the back of the head as the pair are locked up - Green is getting angry and is getting a bit more careless as Mundine looks to counter-punch.
Mundine was ridiculous odds. Danny doesn't have a plan B. #MundineGreen2

Halfway there!
Another tight round, Green landed a couple more telling blows in that round for me. Still, anyone's fight with five rounds to go.
Four rounds down, if I had to guess I'd say it's 38-37 to Green (after Choc lost a point in the first round), but who knows?
Green goes down!
Good combination from Mundine, and Green goes down to one knee before getting back up - the bell rings not long after, and Mundine cops some more boos for what looked like a late hit. That was Mundine's round, this is very tight.
Three in the books!
Another tight round...Mundine nearly hit Green low at one point, but the referee deemed it just above the belt. A lot of lock ups and hugging, neither fighter landing anything telling so far. I have Green ahead still.
Two rounds completed and that one was close!
Very tight round, lots of clinching but I think Green shaded it...just. Really even fight so far.
