ANTHONY Mundine's brief reign as World Super Middleweight champion ended last night as the self-styled black superman was exposed to the kryptonite of fearless Puerto Rican Manny Siaca.
The challenger and heavy underdog applied constant pressure against Mundine who throughout the fight was reluctant to throw punches against the hard-hitting visitor.
Siaca took a split decision before 8000 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre and immediately said he would give Mundine a rematch.
Two judges gave the fight to Siaca 115-113 while the third judge gave the fight to Mundine 114-13.
A stunned Mundine said: "I thought I won the fight. I'll go back to the drawing board and talk to my team. I thought I won.
"I thought I outboxed him, what can you do man. I became the champion and I think I lost as the champion."
Mundine was down from pushes twice in round 10 and got up the second time hobbling and pointing to ankle that was injured in sparring on Anzac Day.
He spent most of the last three rounds back pedalling and holding on whenever Siaca got close but managed to land a ferocious right uppercut in round 11.
The fighters embraced before the start of the 12th and final round.
But that's where the Puerto Rican's charity ended as he spent the next three minutes chasing a fleeing Mundine and finished the fight with the defending world champ trapped on the ropes and absorbing some savage kidney blows.
The fighters started cautiously with hardly a blow thrown in the opening round as Siaca walked forward and Mundine tried to entice him onto one of those savage right hands.
But in the second round Siaca showed no fear as he stalked Mundine relentlessly and finally decked him at the bell with a swinging left hook.
Stung into action, Mundine began to attack in the third round and gave a taste of the lightning hand speed that won him the world title eight months earlier against feared American Antwun Echols.
In the fourth round Siaca maintained his pressure as Mundine looked increasingly uncomfortable and in round five the champion was bleeding from a head wound after catching the point of the Puerto Rican's elbow.
Mundine was on the canvas again in round six but American referee Raul Caiz ruled it a push and by the end of the round Mundine's fast hands were starting to change the momentum of the bout.
The heavyweights of Sydney were ringside including Kostya Tszyu, former Prime Minister Paul Keating, Channel 9 trump Ray Martin, former Test skipper Steve Waugh, radio champion John Laws and shooting gold medallist Michael Diamond. Earlier Nader Hamdan, once the world's No. 2 junior-middleweight overcame a huge size disadvantage to pound out an eight round decision over former NSW heavyweight champion John Wyborn.
It was Hamdan's 35th win in 36 fights.
And Peter Mitrevski Jr, like Hamdan, a Mundine sparring partner, was too sharp for light-heavyweight Anthony Courtney, winning a six-round decision.
