At the Acer Arena in Olympic Park, New South Wales, Australia, middleweight contender Garth Wood (10-1-1, 6KOs) scored a huge upset when he knocked out two-time world champion Anthony Mundine (40-4, 24KOs) in the fifth round of their fight on Wednesday night. Wood floored Mundine with a vicious left hook to end a scrappy affair 58 seconds into the fifth round. The knockout loss is Mundine's first since his knockout loss to German Sven Ottke in 2001, and his first to an Australian opponent in more than 20 fights against compatriots.
