Halfway through the 3rd round.

3rd round was closer, Barnes looks to have a bloodied nose.

I would still give the 3rd to Barnes though.

Barnes also has a cut from a clash to the side ofhis right eye.

7th Round is a close one, back and forth a bit, Barnes with the cleaner work again but Morrison landed a few nice ones.

Probably a Barnes round.

8th Round, not much in the first half, Morrison more busy, not much to seperate them this round, even round.

Looking at the replay Barnes may have edged it.

Halfway through the 9th Morrison landing about 3 or 4 clean shots to Barnes head, probably his best part of the fight.

Morrison's round.

10th morrisons for me. his only truely clear round of the fight so far. think barnes need 1 round more to be absolutely sure of victory. morrison needs the last 2. clearly aswell.

Might sound harsh, but was I watching an episode of Can't fight, won't fight.

Barnes should get this, but I kind of hope Anderson gets it.

Well I thought all 3 Light Welter showcased today (Morrison, Barnes, Bami) looked pretty poor again.

Yeah, that fight was a real come down from last week's British title fight (Marsh-Pickering).

We've got a quite a few Lightwelters at the moment who just arn't prepared to fight for the full duration without spoiling. The ten stone division is usually one of our most exciting but the Barnes', Nigel Wright's, Barry Morrison's etc let the side down.
