Fight recap
This one was a war right from the beginning. The crowd was also into the fight from the opening bell. Barry and Plimmer were both coming forward and the inside fighting was brutal.
In round 6, Plimmer opened a cut on Barry’s lip with a hard left hook. Barry returned the favor when Plimmer was cut over his right eye from a jab in the 7th.
Going into the 11th round, the fight was fairly even and both fighters were bloodied and neither was giving an inch. Toward the end of the round the referee stopped the fight so the ring doctor could examine the cut over Plimmer’s right eye. He let the fight continue.
48 seconds into the 12th round, the referee again had the ring doctor examine the cut. It appeared to be a bad one. After conferring with the ring doctor, the referee called the fight. Plimmer pleaded his case, but to no avail.
Barry won the fight by TKO and retained his bantamweight title.
