Owen Wright vs. Mick Fanning - Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast 2017 Round Three, Heat 8 

no fucking way, mick should have been 17+ for this heat

Mick clearly the better surfer in this heat.

I honestly didn't see Mick lose this heat..very weird..

5yrs on and I still can’t believe how underdone Mick was!

WOW... that's the worst scoring I've seen. How can you not be impressed with that brake stomp and DEEP and LONG barrel?

Owen Ripped!!! However, there is no way Mick lost that heat.

Naa sorry that was Mick Fanning completely every wave.

Well! Thats why I am not on the judging panel; to me it looked like Mick was the better surfer.

How did mick lose that heat, judges wtf!

Awesome surfing all round wish I could get it with one person out. Was there last week with fifty guys out didn't even get a wave same crew just got everything

Mick Fanning lost this heat? Those backside snaps just seem to be getting over-scored. I don't know why the god's decided to only score barrels from behind the rocks as high? Those mid-wave barrels really help to break-up the monotony. IDK...

If you guys heard the judges talk about their scoring criteria and what they're looking for in this contest this year it makes sense from that perspective why Owen took this one from Fanning

Mick surfed better in my opinion and got that long barrel, how could the judges not give him the win..bad call if you ask me!

I dont get it seems like total bullshit to me mick shoudve won

Is this the next cool thing for kooks to do? - Pretend they are surfing judges and make out there is a conspiracy against their fav surfers?

I liked Owens surfing way more but Micks barrel and the fact that he always starts off with two good turns along with his less powerful quick slashes should have been a pretty good bit more than Owen

Mick was robbed....Fanning getting barrels in the same wave, Owen doing the same turn...hmmmm

Owen didn’t even ride a single wave out how tf did he win

Go Owen you own him this. Should Win Quick Pro.Mick ..Incredible Tech Bottom Tube

i think it was real close coulda gone either way. owen's ripping!!

wtf is up with that. the big fanny smashed it!

mick shoulda won

" I think he got the score, I think everyone thought he got the score. It's the Owen Wright comeback story score. Nobodies even talking about past when it happened because everyone knows he should of gotten the score. Not to mention the falls. Since when have falls not lowered an already high scoring wave? Rich Porta is basically saying whatever Joe wants to hear. It's the barrels behind the rock that we want to see. That barrel my have been inside, but it was big, long and Mick was deep. I'm happy he's out, I'm not a Mick fan. Too consistent for me. Lol..". Said friend, Robbie Tarter

fiirst

This is laughable. Compare Owens 8.1 to Micks 7.17. A J. O. K. E. !

Owen was ripping, but he still didn’t make a wave. Mick was robbed

owen got the handicapp cuz his head hurts

Quite glaring who the better surfer was. Robbery committed
