Barker vs Geale FOTY

[BIG H]

Yeah that's what I just saw. I don't doubt Barker deserved the nod, but the fact remains that 2 judges giving him the 12th is absurd, and that's the only reason the cards went to him.

If the judges had've given Barker some of the rounds he clearly one, then that would not be relevant. You can't pick one round's judging as being the deciding factor in a fight.

How Barker got up from that shot I have no idea. Divine Intervention is I can think of!

Not sure why you posted this given that I said as much to begin with. I agree Barker clearly deserved the decision, just don't see how he won the 12th and for whatever reason it WAS the deciding factor.

I know what you said dude, but it WAS NOT the deciding factor. Just because it was the 12th and final round doesn't make it the deciding factor, all 12 rounds have to be judged and any 1 round, be it round 1 or round 12 being scored wrong could be deemed the deciding factor.

Lol, yes it was..Because 2 judges somehow had Barker needing that round to win. It shouldn't have been the case, but if that 12th round had been scored for Geale, Barker wouldn't have got the decision. Did you see the scorecards? They were posted in this thread. Don't know how to make that any clearer

Lol, you are the one missing the point. Yes I understand that had those 2 judges, scored the last round for Geale, then Geale would've won, the point you are missing is, that you are calling round 12 'The deciding' Factor' because it was the 12th and final round. My point is that ANY round scored incorrectly in that fight, could be the 'Deciding Factor' Each round is scored as an individual round. Being the last has no more importance than any other. 12 is just a number, in the case of scoring a fight in makes no difference that it was the last round. When scori8ng a fight, you can put round 12 in the middle of you like, it makes no difference, each round is an individual event and if I say that Barker won round 3,4 and 6 (as an example) and the judges gave those rounds to Geale, then one of those rounds is as much a deciding factor as the 12th.

I think we both know what we mean
