116-112 is a total domination for a fighter


But haven't you noticed, Guzman cliches just for him to survive the onslaught of Barrios? It looks like guzman has nothing to show anymore, just slap some punches and throw soft jabs to show to the judges he's still in the fight.

Barrios is a clear agressive, unrelenting, pressing, moving, throwing, banging


If those definitons are not enought to win a fight, Barrios should retire
How is 116-112 total domination? Two judges had Peter beating Toney 117-111 and he sure as hell didn't dominate that fight did he?

Guzman won the fight, he took his foot of the gas at the end, like Eubank used to do but the result was never in doubt. Guzman never once looked even remotely hurt, nothing Barrios was throwing was bothering him in the slightest. I agree that the higer work rate was from Barrios but Guzman landed the cleaner shots, controlled the action, even though Barrios was forcing the pace and looked like he could have stepped up a level if he needed to.

I think he's going to be a handful for anybody at 130 or 135 lb.

I can see him getting outworked but I just cannot see him being hurt by anyone from 135 and under.

He has the potential to be a great champion.
