    9-1 Underdog…. What? Have I got it crooked? probably but do I believe in my card? Yeah a little more then I should I think this could have gone either way I have it a draw where I lean to Iran.


    Barkley 1

    He looked rugged and could miss big, but he landed bruising leather and even stunned Nunn and landed a similar amount of punches with very few shoe shiner shot- on the ropes or not Barkley found gaps and was working. Though I have no issue with a Nunn round.

    Barkley 2

    I do think Nunn closed better in the round though he had to get rugged and take a bit to hurt Iran. It may have just been Mike picking his moments and learning for later, but Iran landed quite a bit of leather not anything big and punishing but in terms of landed punches and activity it bumped his stock up, Mike gave away that midway point letting Iran work again this could be a Nunn round but like the last one I think Iran inched it.

    Nunn 3

    Nunn looked very clean, he caught a lot of the little shots sneaky in. very nice round but as they said “Barkley doesn’t look like a 9 to 1 underdog” though I’d say Mike looked very cool and while he was under pressure, he didn’t look uncomfortable or in danger.

    Barkley 4

    Almost brought to life by the crowd Barkley came out wild, he wasn’t exactly a ball of fire but he worked Nunn over enough for the round though he looked a little rough and wrestled a bit much.

    Barkley 6

    Nunn closed the show but I saw Iran making most of the demands and landing the better leather of the pair though his holding and hitting did become a little monotonous for my taste.


    Nunn 7

    Nunn won fair. Cleaner punches, and just the more effective of the pair though I do like this round it was the round that made me love both guys when I first saw it. Iran sick of chasing Mike throws up his arms in protest as if to say “WTF fight me” it starts becoming a dog fight and for a split second you think Iran could steal the round, but the program resumes and Nunn starts trolling him for the last run of the clock lol.


    Nunn 8

    All was fair- programming as usual. Nunn looked classy in there “pop, pop, pop”


    Nunn 9

    Cracking round. Every time I thought Nunn might lose his grip on the lead he made his mark though Iran didn’t look out of his depth in there.


    Nunn 10

    Fair and square a Nunn round he gave Iran the business and took him further out of his depth and Barkley just didn’t have the right answers for the questions Mike is asking.

    Barkley 11

    Can I stop and say for a second **** the commentator crew? Nunn was sitting pretty swatting almost everything but not really working, Iran was scoring as unimpressive as it looked to them but the second Iran does his best Ali impression (lol) all you hear is “He is moving but Nunn is landing a lot” …. I think this is a choppy round, but this is my damn score card and I give it to Iran for landing the harsher shots and managing to stun Nunn.

    Barkley 12

    I have it for Barkley, but this is one you can easily give to Nunn. I just prefer what I saw in Iran and I am known for having terrible cards according to friends anyways lol.
