    Yep I thought Barker edged it but 2 things surprised me:
    1. Barker actually outworked Geale in quite a few of the later rounds. After watching the Sturm fight I thought this wouldn't be the case.
    2. Geale hurt Barker quite a few times. Barker's punches didn't seem to have much of an affect and like Geale said post-fight he slipped and blocked a large amount that looked like they landed.

    Great fight though and the amount of quality action surprised me.

    I gave the fight to Barker by 1.


    I thought the rounds were fairly easy to score minus one or two of them, so I don't know how that wide difference in scoring could have occurred. I was probably as impartial about this fight as a person could get. I don't give a **** about either of these guys, and so I think I was pretty objective.

    England has an Atlantic coast, so I suppose some consider any fight that takes place on the Eastern Seaboard of the US to be home territory for its boxers nowadays. :lol: :patsch

    I have'n watched the fight, but just watched and scored just the 12th round to see if it was blatantly stolen from Geale as is being proposed by some.

    I scored the 12th for Barker. Aside from the sequence where he momentarily got rocked, I thought he was the busier more sharper puncher in that 12th. Worked well both downstairs and upstairs.

    Hustle and sharpness wins the round for Barker imo.

    That's your opinion which is fine of course but you are in the minority.

    The other rounds the judges may have missed on our just as important though, but I thought the 12th seemed a pretty clear.

    barker landed 24 punches to geales 28 in the final round.

    not a great discrepancy in punch stats.

    Did you watch the round? Punch stats don't say it all and Barker was pretty clearly hurt.

    Barker got rocked, no question. The whole round has to be viewed and everything about it taken into consideration.
    You're not supposed to take a round from a fighter simply for the fact he was rocked.

    In this case I thought that aside form getting rocked in a sequence, Barkers punches were shaper, harder, and just more telling.

    I think scoring the 12th for Barker is inaccurate but I thought he nevertheless clearly won.

    12th round was clearly Geale's, he landed alot of clean punches whereas Barkers were sometimes blocked

    Was a close fight but the 12th was Geale's
