Fight Notes: The size difference between the two was huge, with no re-hydration clause after the weigh-in.

Round 1: The opening round was a feeling out round for both with Tank smiling.

Round 2: Barrios very disciplined, fighting tall and using his height and reach advantage to good effect.

Round 3: The feeling out process is now out of the way with both now unloading. Barrios takes the round but with Davis starting to threaten.

Round 4: Barrios still fighting a disciplined fight but Davis now showing his advantage in speed when he attacks.

Round 5: Now its a fight! Davis now closing the distance with both fighters throwing more with both landing. Davis is now the aggressor.

Round 6: Davis now cutting off the ring, but still with both landing. Davis now is showing why he is the 3-1 favourite as he is on the front foot with his advantage in speed starting to be a factor.

Round 7: Barrios started the 7th well, trapping Davis in the corner and unloading. After a breather, Davis went back on the offensive by the end of the round. If this goes the distance, the scoring will be interesting?

Round 8: Well, the fight takes a huge turn. Davis has Barrios down twice in the round and now with Berrios’s face a mess. The first knockdown by a temple shot, the second a left to the jaw.

Round 9: Barrios surprisingly back in the fight and maybe even taking the round as Davis takes a breather. Floyd Mayweather from outside the ring saying to Davis he is down on points, unofficially?

Round 10: What a fight! Barrios showing real guts, targeting Davis’s body. In a measured manor, Davis is head hunting.

Round 11: Barrios down from a body shot and with a follow up attack, the referee waves off the bout with Barrios hurt.

Time of the referees stoppage was 2:13 of the 11th round. Davis is now a three weight champion.
