Ah, damn, this interested me. Took a couple of exams instead tonight. Aced 'em, FWIW. Did it appear that Nelson could have really tested Barrios if not for the injury?
Probably not, but if he had both hands working, well, ya never Know, in Boxing. Hats off to NN, though, tough Philly Boxer.
Depends. Barrios's pressure seemed to, if not rattle Naim, disrupt him and make him think about how to contend with it. I could see that eventually allowing Mario to bank enough rounds to win a clear decision. But Naim had those counters working and is a tough mofo, so it had the appearance of becoming a fairly lop-sided decision with the loser doing well enough to make most of the rounds competitive. That's the most likely scenario that I could extrapolate from the first couple of rounds,anyway.
