Cheap shots were thrown and it was a tight fight, yet Green won via a split points decision at Adelaide Oval, exacting belated revenge for his 2006 loss to Mundine.
Green had been caught in the back of the head, while not looking, by a cheap shot from Mundine as referee Frank Garza tried to break the fighters.
Garza wanted to call Friday night's fight off, then and there.
One judge couldn't split the boxers, scoring it 94-94. Another scored it slightly for Green, 96-94. And even Green can't believe the third judge scored 98-90 in his favour.
Danny Green v Anthony Mundine at the Adelaide Oval
Mundine has yet to speak publicly about a result which confounded some pundits.
But he did re-issue a tweet from high-profile lawyer Adam Houda: "History books will forever tell the story of how @Anthony_Mundine was robbed!!!"
Green himself holds no animosity towards Mundine - not for the late blow, not for anything.
For while their rivalry has been sour at times, Mundine always had Green's respect.
"I don't think Choc intentionally meant to do it like that. But in the heat of the moment, that is the game," he said.
"Choc proved he's a warrior ... an incredible competitor. He's a superior athlete," he said.
"He's a class act, man. I have always liked watching him fight.
"I can tell you now, he's got no shit in him. He's a goer, because I hit him with a couple of good shots and he came back hard.
"He's digging hard and really trying to put me away. And as a fighter, you become endeared to the bloke.
"His heart just wants to jump out of its chest because it's pulsating but he's digging deep.
"And you get respect for a fighter and I have always respected Choc. We don't see eye to eye, but I gained a lot more respect for Choc even though I won the fight."
