Ridiculous, yes, I agree. But you two are talking as if the scoring of that round is actually what the fight hinged on-I think its important to...
Actually, a 10-8 round in favor of Barrera and he still loses a Unanimous decision. The judges had it that wide.
I'd like to see if Haye can floor Audley even better than Sprott did.

My father idolized Pep. Talked him up all the time, said his style WAS boxing... He was sad when I took the brawler/puncher route in my own...
