Barker vs Geale FOTY

[Master]

It certainly had the round of the year.

Which round? Again i dont think any of the rounds were as good as some in the Lebedev-Jones, Figueroa-Aragawa fights. If there wasnt a Brit in this fight nothing would be said about it. The 6th and 12th were very good rounds but definitely not ROTY candidates

You are harsh, Barker coming back from that body shot was similar to Holyfield coming back after being rocked in round 10 with Bowe.

Yes it was a good round. Barker for up, ate some more shots and then managed to finish the round on top doing some damage himself. My problem as I said early there was no moments where I was like "holy shit" how are they doing this. No massive bombs landed. People can argue all they want about what makes fight of yr and round if yr but at end of the day it's down to both guys landing big punches to the point ur screaming at the ref to stop the fight. Parts of the fight showed good technical ability and parts showed boxers heart and parts were just a slugfest so it was a good fight but it didn't have that bit extra to make it fight of the year (unless your a big fan o Barker and as I said you would get more excited about the ordinary in this fight).
