    Just read two out of the three judges gave the final round to Barker. I'm not complaining, I had no horse in the race, I just wanted to drop by to say that this surprised me a lot. Geale clearly won the last round.

    In short, if judge Carlos Ortiz scores the 12th for Geale like he should have Geale wins the bout 114-113 on the final card.

    Again, to be fair, even giving the last round to Geale I had Barker winning 114-113, so again just more shocked at the judges than the actual winner.

    The scores were a bit 'out there' but the right man won.

    What might be more concerning is to think about the other rounds these judges may have messed up.

    I agree good point. Without the knockdown this coulda been a draw, but the knockdown was the difference for me. Anyone also notice tho Geale was outgunned he actually took Barker's shots better? He made Barker miss alot too with all that quirky movement. But once he actually stood in front of Barker he either blocked many of them or made them lose steam. And when Geale was hit cleanly he took those shots well. Barker on the other hand was hurt several times. I knew Barker had potential and made more fans tonight, but Geale made a fan out of me.

    Geale won the last round no doubt. H

    I had it 115-112 Geale but no problem with the outcome at all. That was a ridiliciously close fight and many rounds could have gone eitherway.

    I thought Barker was the sharper punching, more active guy. I had him winning. Funny thing, post fight, he looked like he got his ass whooped. Geale looked like he hadn't really been in a scrap. I will have to score it when I rewatch it. Geale definitely won the 12th.

    I had Geale winning by a point, but it should have been a draw.

    So many tight rounds, and so few rds clearly won by either.

    It doesnt really matter though as neither guy would ever fight the Champion, Gennady Golovkin.

    But either guy would rip that lil b!tch Quillin a new @sshole.:yep
