2nd round Barker. Rounds are very close though. Could go either way. Barkers blows are definitely more powerful though.

3rd round definitely for Barker. Announcer's have Barker winning all 3 rounds.

hougigo · 08-17-13, 10:21 PM

Johnathan Romero KO'd in the 4th
-_-

Who do you expect to have the edge late here? I was thinking Geale would have the cardio edge, but he's taking the harder shots.

I still maintain Geale, and now that the rib shot hurt Barker... think I'll stick with it.

I think that's the round Geale knocked Barker down, if not I think I gave it to Barker

Round 8 draw.

Round 9 Draw. These rounds are very close, with neither fighter able to land a significant blow.

The KD occurred in round 6.

Good rd. for Barker! This fight is close!

I think Barker is barely ahead too.

Cut on Geale opened up again. Another round for Barker!

hougigo · 08-17-13, 10:54 PM

Scoring is going to be all over the place for this

Geale won that last round. My card is similar to Jim Watts. I have Barker winning as well.

hougigo · 08-17-13, 10:57 PM

Lost, but good job to Barker, he deserves it

Ron_Paul_2012 · 08-17-13, 10:58 PM

And the NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ron_Paul_2012 · 08-17-13, 10:59 PM

Didn't win much. But for some reason it feels like I won 10 times as much as I really did. What a fight!

He deserved it.
I'm glad Geale lost, Shaw was trying to make Geale avoid golovkin again... no bueno

MD · 08-17-13, 11:01 PM

I had Barker winning slightly. It was close enough to go either way though. It's difficult to imagine a bad score card in that fight with how many close rounds there were. Wouldn't have been surprised to see some wide cards.

Very good fight.

hougigo · 08-17-13, 11:11 PM

Miura wins a 12 round decision. I was indecisive about taking Miura in Mexico and took the over instead.
Still came out ontop though, so it's fine.

Would be tough to score, I give credit to the judges for not being outrageously wrong... none of them where IMO.

hougigo · 08-17-13, 11:19 PM

A decent week.

Wins: Mollo, fonfara, Kovalev ITD, Sonnen, Miura/thompson over

loses: Lauzon ITD, Gonzalez, Geale

I made the Lauzon on impulse because I got greedy. Gonzalez was just another kid who couldn't swim in the deep waters, my fault... thought Segura was done after his last loss.
Geale, I'm not even mad. A close fight were the right man won.

hougigo · 08-17-13, 11:30 PM

Jacobs/Lorenzo is on oddschecker... -500 for Jacobs.
too much, hoping for props

hougigo · 08-21-13, 12:04 AM

Come Nov. second... Golovkin ends Stevens inside 6 and probably within 3 too

hougigo · 08-22-13, 05:39 AM

Hmmm...looking at Tezares/Leo Santa Cruz.... Tezares a bigger underdog than I thought... might be worth a small punt. Leo hasn't really done much to be favored that much against a vet like him. The best person he fought and beat was Eric Morel and he hasn't done jack.

Hey man! Congrats that Fonfara came through for you. Campillo was outboxing him just like I predicted till he fell apart, pretty strange how it ended. And of course if you were big on Kovalev we both had a good weekend.

You're the most active boxing fan here, so I want to suggest that you take a look at my idea for a points ranking system for boxing. I think boxing needs a points ranking system like tennis. I'm worried the thread here where I posted my write-up will be deleted, but I posted it on a few boxing forums too. Check it out...

Yea, I was pretty heavy on Kovalev because that was wayyyyy undervalued there. Just like Ruiz... man.. I love it when I get gifts like that.
Hoping for a good line on Arreola/Mitchell.... Arreola is going to crumble that glass

You know what... I think I saw your bost on nSB I didn't read it because I was on my phone

hougigo · 08-23-13, 06:55 PM

Thinking of taking not Pulev inside the distance here.... -117 seems like a good line.
Thompson is probably the best HW in the division without the last name Klistcko.
Pulev is a good fighter with a pretty nice 1-2.
Honestly... it all comes down to forms in the match. If he fought the way he fought walker, this fight goes 12 and him possibly losing.
Thompson may be 40, but he's still tricky and a good boxer.
He's also very durable too who can take a punch. If Pulev wins, I think it's by decision that won't come easy

hougigo · 08-23-13, 06:56 PM

Thinking of taking Mares by 12 round decision too.
Just a thought.... there's a good chance he knocks him out
