see the comparisons between Barker's last bout and McCloskey's latest fight??? Lots of contridictions from some posters in some regards:good
Here are some differences, Belgecham was just coming off a defeat to Lee and was not worthy of an EBU title shot. :good McCloskey ko'd his opponent, Barker got a gift decision. :good Barker was ridiculously hyped, McCloskey was not. :good
Here's the similarities Both got hit a little too easily. Both were disapointing. Both proved they are probably not going to win a world title but.... one his a hype job and the other isnt and for the record that was not a gift but a very close fight as the mcCloskey fight would have been had it gone the distance, if not for Lauri's silly mistake:good
Yes it was a gift decision and how can McCloskey be a hypejob when there was hardly any hype surrounding him? You're clutching at straws Dom :good
No way was that a gift although i cant argue if anyone scored it the other way, what i guess im trying to imply is it was a similar performance from two fighters at a similar level, so why the contridicting posts.
Mccloskey had a bad night at the office but even if it had gone the distance i think he'd done enough to win by a couple of rounds whereas barker who i like really got dragged into a horrible brutal war and was lucky to get the decision IMO and was really hanging on by the skin of his teeth .
