Barker vs Geale FOTY

[Beanz]

People calling this a FOTY clearly don't watch boxing. Doubt this is in the top 10. It was a good fight but compared to the likes of Lebedev - Jones. Come on

I wish there was a sad click button. you might as well say " People who disagree with me, clearly don't watch Boxing".

What I said is right. I get that because you are emotionally invested in Barker that ypu think this fight was better then it was but it was nothing special. Fights like that are on week in week out and because its not a Brit fighting for a world title it would not get anywhere near this recognition.

Ha! That is a ludicrous case of misrepresentation. It was a great fight but you were never going to acknowledge that because you don't rate Barker. I am not sure in a year like this it is FOTY but to call it nothing special just reveals the enormity of the chip on your shoulder.

I don't rate Jones but Jones Lebedev was far better then this fight. As we're the 3 main fights on the Berto-Karas Soto card.

Again if you take your emotions towards barker it was not that good a fight. It was a good fight but there was no point I was like "holy shit".

Fun fight just caught it on hbo again and barker desrved the nod imo. maybe I'm crazy but I don't think givin barker the 12th is a great crime, I had geale edging it for hurtin barker once or twice in there but it wasn't a dominating one sided round or anything and thought it was competitive as were most of the rounds. Foty it is not me for me , but a good solid scrap and to say we get fights like this weekly is selling it a bit short.

I think 2 foreign white middleweights really fucked Roy and Eddie Cotton up lol. The low blow warning to Barker was as absurd as absurd gets, but according to HBO he realized his mistake after the round. The 12th was Geales round but I wouldnt call it an agregious offense considering the state of boxing judging. Still, great fight, not fight of the year. It's different strokes though, I didn't find Jones lebedev as entertaining as others did but it was still clearly a great bout.

It wasn't picked up by the British broadcast (SKY). I couldn't believe it watching HBO, who picked it up straight away, Cotton telling Geale he has 5 minutes, the look on Barker's face when he tells him to keep 'em up said it all, he was totally confused too. And to be fair to Roy, he laughed at himself for keep making the mistake instead of trying to style it out. Great stuff.

The thread starter (ICB) said - "I haven't been following boxing for a few months, this is the best fight I've seen." His personal opinion on what he's seen. Get a grip.

(Here's some advice - Try watching fights without knowing the result. Hope this helps.)
