Watched it the next day. Didn't really score the rounds though after the last round which saw Tua deducted a point and then floored making it a 10-7 to Barrett, it seemed that Barrett would get the decision.
The three commentators all had Barrett winning on points.
Lot of rounds followed the same sort of pattern of Tua stalking, while Barrett let more punches go -usually small shots. But Tua would catch Barrett who then tapped out punches going backwards often on wobbly legs.
Tua would land some big shots but just didn't/couldn't follow up effectively. Tua was badly hurt in the 12th and a fresher fighter would have taken him out but Barrett was physically spent by then.
Pretty entertaining fight though alot of that was the anticipation.
