I watched the fight....coulda went either way sum rds very close.....................i turned the sound off so i didnt have to hear annoying bob sheridan......i scored the fight 114 to 114.......what did u score it..????
I was sitting front row, directly behind Bob Sheridan. Ironically, I haven't actually heard his full commentary uninterrupted- but I've got to guess he gave some of the closer rounds early on to Barrett, just to make it seem closer than it was expected to be (which was an early victory to Tua). Unfortunately, if you give out freebies to the underdog early on, that biases your impression of how the fight was going later on- especially in a case like this- where Barrett did actually make an impressive comeback. I thought he had a bigger hill to climb than many commentators suggest (Colonel Bob included). I scored 114-114 also. Edit: 113-113 draw
Barrett won the fight. He is one of the greatest American heavyweights of the past 10 years. His best and most notable fights are his losses to: Wladmir Klitschko Nicolai Valuev Alexander Ustinov
I don't have my r-b-r handy but I know I scored it 114-112 Barrett. Tua would've won if he hadn't had such a total meltdown in the 12th. Bad discipline throwing Monte to the floor, then poor head movement and focus in getting counterpunched for the knockdown. I see Team Tua are blaming a bad left shoulder for the loss now, but it was Tua's gas tank and focus that was the problem.
