after re watching it and re wcored it instill think MAB won this fight. even though i scored it 10-8 on 7 round my scorecard still 114-113 for mab i had him winning 1,2,3,4,6,8,9 i am ok with a draw but i think the scorecard is way off in this one. So who you guys think who really won that night?
I watched it and thought at the time Barrera got clearly outboxed. I remember being on here after the fight and seeing some comments, and thinking people were absolutely crazy for thinking Barrera won. I've never re-watched, and I didn't score round-by-round while I originally watched. So I can't really say.
I didn't think the final outcome was close on the cards, as I thought JMM did narrowly enough to win a ton of close rounds. MAB lost a 3 point swing that he should have gotten, and even then I thought JMM was the winner. And I was actively rooting for MAB. Competitive fight, lots of close rounds, but JMM won almost all of those rounds. Against a younger MAB, the fight could have gone totally different.
