    In your country they did.

    Over here on HBO the commentators fell into the trap of giving rounds to the champion simply because he did this a lot: :fight

    Martinez can't fool me, though. I've been in the workforce since 15 years of age and have been an expert as "pretending to look busy" for about as long. :yep

    Barker didn't even pretend to look busy.

    I think some of y'all are definitely being way overly generous to Barker on the scoring front. Still definitely exceeded expectations, I didn't even think he'd compete. I think he established himself as having world class capability, its just whether he can reach that level again against the next (hopefully less good) guy.

    Agree with this.

    That said the bottom line he could have been ahead but it doesn't matter as he got KO'd. If he cannot keep it going for 12 rounds then he won't survive at top level.
    Chavev Jr would be a good measuring stick to see what Dazza can do.
