I didn't think it was horrible -- it was still better than Wlad vs Haye.
The last two rounds were sensational.
I'll give you that for sure 2 good rounds.
Wow! I thought that was a definite KO at the end, but Barrett's heart kept him up and kept him in it and he won it. Man, he won that fight and it would be a sore day if Barrett loses. He deserves that fight. He's beaten Tua twice now, and if he can't even get one decision that's poor ****e.
Great fight with an exciting end but it's Barrett's.
Edit: phew....as exciting as Tua is, and was, I'm very glad Barrett got that decision. It was the perfect decision. Good (and very correct considering it's Tua's hometown) points scoring.
Tua has always been afraid to push the issue if there's a chance of getting countered. Barrett hurt him the last time when Tua was swinging for the fences so that might be part of why he isn't throwing too many punches.
Being 38 years old is another.
