Well I had Barrios clearly sweeping the first 4 and then got a KD that won him the round in the 12th.
I think I gave him one round in between those but I can see someone giving the rest to Akhmedov.
The biggest problem with boxing scoring is where a guy can beat another guy, battering him from pillar to post and only receive a ridiculous 10-9 when it should be a 10-8. And then a guy gets 10-8 for a flash knockdown when it is obvious that one guy was not hurt and the other guy took a beating. Barrios was soundly beaten and received a gift that night.
Akhmedov was robbed IMO. I had him winning clearly even with the KD’s. Think I had it 115-111 or 114-112. Those scorecards were atrocious. There’s no way Barrios won more than 4 rounds.
Looked like an Akhmedov win to me and as I recall either that or the Draw was that was pretty much the consensus. No one seemed to think Barrios deserved the nod.

Least the WBA did the right thing in ordering the rematch though, I guess.
7-5 Akhmedov or 6-6 was fine but definitely needs a rematch.
I remember Barrios winning the first 4 clearly, then Akhmedov took over think I only gave Barrios 1 before the 12th, he was losing 12 before KD as well.
