[daggum]

barker did not beat the 8 count. he was ko'd.

[MPX309]

barker did not beat the 8 count. he was ko'd.

So KO'd he managed to finish that round as the aggressor and go on to win the fight.

[Mikhnienko]

How have you come to that conclusion, he got up at 8 and was on his feet at 9

This..........

[PACnPBFsuck]

A competent ref.

[CraigM]

Barker was the right decision, the Scott decision was poor, very poor!

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Seen alot of back and forth on this thread,,,,

Facts are Geale caught him with a great body shot....

Barker went down,, looked like he wasnt going to make it,,,

at 8 he stood up,,

at 9 he was looking at the ref, and barker when standing up does like alot of fighters do and kinda started going backwards,,,,

The ref asked him if he could continue,, barker said yes

It was the ref's disgression.. and ref thought barker could continue,,,,

The ref could have easily stopped the fight when barker stood up and went backwards, but the ref didnt,,,,

It was the ref's judgement call,,,,,and the ref allowed barker to continue,,,

BARKER WAS NEVER COUNTED OUT

He got up at 9 and then hurt Geale.

Just saw the knockdown this morning on the DVR. Barker was counted out, and Geale should have been declared the TKO winner.

However, the ref (as is his discretion? ) was seeing a great fight and felt that it should continue. Barker was up just at the count of ten, but was not in control of his faculties. The ref bought him another 5-6 seconds with the inspection, and Barker recovered.

Barker should consider himself lucky that the ref was also quite entertained by the fight .

About the Chisora fight, were you also rewinding the video a dozen times to be sure he didn't hit him with an elbow rather than a fist? It really close...may have been both. That was a really hard follow through with the elbow.

lol, you from Australia or something? Maybe the ref was making up for admonishing Barker for the low blow that Geale hit him with earlier on in the fight.

[SHO_RULEZ]

Wow, that was a dirty elbow to the temple by Chisora. Plus Scott gets the quick trigger stoppage. Talk about getting totally jobbed !

lol you're so gay and bias


Barker was downed from the body shot and if he got up at 9 it wouldn't be that damagin if he was still hurt... Malik was put down from a head shot and therefore could have been babdly hurt and or could have permanent damage
