116-115

Barker won most of the first 6, although I had them sharing one. So was 59-56 at half way for me.

Of the remaining 6 rounds I had belgecham winning 5 and sharing 1.
To make it 56-60 for the second half of the fight.

Total score 115-116 for Belgecham.

Also, the ref didnt once caution Barker for constantly ducking his head below waist level in the last 6 rounds. Didnt even speak to him.

Clear win because you had him 1 up with 2 even rounds?

Yeah, I thought he clearly won.

You can have a close fight but still a clear win. The scoring system allows for that.

Pretty sure you're the retard here.

Thats what I am thinking myself. I think Booth would be getting more out of Lee than the late Manny Steward did. A change of is always good and I would be interested to see what Lee does on the Frampton bill with Booth in his corner.

If a round is close enough to be a draw, you can usually score it either way.

Pity. I'd like to see if Lee really "schooled" him or if it was like a countback or something.

It definitely wasnt, I read the score in article a few years ago and I think it Lee won by a healthy margin.

I wonder if the fellow who called it a schooling read the same article, or actually saw it live.

18-8 for Lee

Good find, clear Lee win by the sounds of it. It wont have much effect on a fight now though obviously, with both fighters having matured a lot since then, and Barker looking better than Lee in recent fights.
