    Watched it live, and didn't think it was as close as some seem to think it was. Warrington 8-4, Barry didn't do enough, I didn't think the spoiling deserved points off, but it certainly doesn't merit winning rounds

        Holding and hitting ala Hitman Hatton vs Pacman 10 years ago is not fun to watch!

          Barry clearly lost the fight. He is a boring, horrible clinch-meister.

            I'm torn on this one... that ish was horrible to watch and I dislike Barry's style immensely but I did feel like he succeeded in both taking Warrington off his game and landing more of the cleaner shots (at least in the rounds I saw).

            If I was gonna be objective I'd probably go back and rewatch, but the thought fills me with a kind of creeping dread so I ain't gonna...

              You do that and you deserve a medal for bravery and dedication to the cause, man.

                I didn't score rounds but had the feeling that a draw would be the fair result at the end. The fight was basically a waste of time

                  Aliens might watch this fight far into the future and think it was a curious mating ritual providing evidence that human males could propagate.

                    Josh didn't land enough to clearly win a world title fight , Barry simply spoiled too much with his clinching tactics to win it ...pick em ..what you like .I agreed with the two round margin for Barry but then understood why the two other judges scored for Josh. Terrible tactical match up with hardly any real action.

The ref should have taken at least 3 and threatened Galahad with a DQ if he didn't clean it up. Galahad was awful in there. I'm glad he didn't win as that would have been a tragedy.
                      lol that's ridiculous.
