I've got this very close with a couple minutes to go... anybody could take it... possibly Pearson landed more so far, with Barboza looking flashier...

So damn close.  Arguably a draw.

If I have to do it in the 10-9 system, I might honestly give it to Pearson 29-28.  A good fight for FightMetric to tally up and see the reality of how many strikes landed.

VERY tough fight to call, I'll go with Boza because they're in Brazil.

Wow.... I'm happy I got the pick right but Barboza lost the fight. He was going backwards the entire fight and I'm pretty sure Pearson landed more. Just b/c he's flashy doesn't mean he's effective.

If Pearson had got that I would probably be first! wrong decision in my opinion.
