I have to go with Kiko. Kiko was coming forward relentlessly and Zelfa had no answer. Zelfa lacks power and accuracy on his shots. He should throw straighter shots down the pipe. Kiko hurt him in there a couple of times.

This is a one and done. They’ll never go for a rematch. They don’t need to. They got the win on paper and they’ll keep moving forward.
Don’t see any non UK boxers coming to fight in the UK anytime soon. Unless they’re offered life changing money.

If I was Kiko I’d tell them to stick it. He said before the fight he wants to fight at Featherweight now. Had he been a more natural super featherweight what do we reckon would have happened to Barrett, I’d say he definitely meets the canvas once.

I had it a draw but I highly doubt they have a rematch. Reckon Barrett will go down the European route against Samir Ziani next but that will be another tough slog!

Kiko Martinez Fuming Over Scores: Do You Have To Kill Someone To Win
"[The judges] hurt this sport, they didn't do their job well," Martinez told Marca.
"[Barrett and his team] did not expect it themselves, they believed they had lost the fight. They did nothing to win, even with the exaggeration of the scorecards they were ashamed, but the fault lies in the lack of professionalism of the judges. Even with the Mexican [Mauricio] Lara it was happening. They can fool the boxer but not the public."
"When I was up there [waiting for the scores], I didn't expect that. I thought: what else do I have to do? There were rounds where Barrett landed two punches. Do you have to go out and kill someone to win? What I want is a rematch and I think they want it too. This cannot be left that way - and it will stain boxing and that fighter. It has to be done now, because what has happened is not good for anyone. This will not be forgotten, a lot of damage has been done."
Martinez did offer words of praise to Hearn for his strong support when the fight was over.
"He was ashamed and publicly rebuked the judges. That was very noble on his part, and I sincerely believe that he is the right person to lift boxing. He is someone honest and the rematch is in his hands," Martinez said.

Hearn was just doing damage control IMO.

Lara seemed to have got the memo.

I thought even the 116-113 card was bad tbh, I can see an argument for a draw but that's about as generous towards Barrett as you can be

Barrett needs to get busier in these fights, he's had a let off here, and was behind in his last fight until finding the big punch.
He's quite like his uncle Pat in that respect.

Apart from Pat hit an awful lot harder.

I like zelfa, but he didn’t seem to have anything for kiko last time out. That said maybe that was all kiko had left. Think he was pretty widely beaten so something must be giving him the confidence for a straight rematch. Wonder what the odds would be? He cost my friend a pretty penny during bet in play!
