Well said Monty :eek:

I just read that Tua was deducted a point for throw Barrett down in the last round and then was dropped for the first time ever. Thats a 10 -7 round.

I would of scored the fight a draw had Barret not gained two extra points by the end of the 12th. For me it was that close and the reality is, those two extra points only stopped Barrett loosing by UD.... That's terrible because without doubt for me, Monty did enough to win. Tua was out of ideas for most of the mid-late rounds and only really a big effort in the 11th.

I don't know if it was because I expected Barrett to loose or because most people wanted Tua to win but I was rooting for Barrett as soon as I see how much he actually wanted to win (despite being shit scared of Tua's power). Barrett gave a real good go and to be fair, in terms of power punches thrown, I think he put it on Tua more than Lennox Lewis did :o
