I scored it the same as you...the missed knockdown would have made it a more decisive result with Barrera winning by 2 points....
I couldnt believe what I was hearing when I heard the 118-109 card!!!God knows what that judge had been watching, but no way was it the fight I was seeing!!!
I dont think Barrera lost that fight. But then again I didnt think Hopkins lost the first Taylor fight and I didnt think Toney lost the first Peter fight. But my bitching sure as hell doesnt change anything!! Marquez got the verdict and I have to leave it at that. At the end of the day it was a very close fight and you could make a case for either fighter in a wonderful fight...
A review of who judges these big fights would be nice. Close fights like this dont need to be mocked with oulandish scorecards that really do not reflect the fight that the majority of boxing fans saw. If you thought Marquez won then you thought it was close. If you though Barrera won then you would also have thought it close. It is nigh on IMPOSSIBLE to watch that fight and see it as 118-109 Marquez!! A shameful scorecard indeed!!!![]()
