From the back Nelson looks fairly in shape...
then he turns around.

So weird to see this fight playout like this with Barnett standing and striking with Nelson shooting for takedowns thought it would be the other way around.

Nelson might as well resort to his usual strategy of throwing murder bombs in attempt to kill, because all the takedown attempts are gassing him. Bad.

Wow, I forgot that this is the furthest that Roy has gone in fighting.

His gut is going where it has never gone before. Round 4.

That chin is a wonder of nature. When Roy needs to rest he lets Barnett punch his face at will.
