Sometimes it's just the style match. Nover isn't a finisher (at this level) and he doesn't have any special difference maker.
It's not total domination but at what line would you bet Nover in a rematch?
Probably +300. I think he gave Barao too much respect early and didn't pressure him. When he did in rd 3, he landed some nice strikes.
Barao is the better fighter right now, no question. -485 was too steep though. Glad I just put a little on Barao dec +145 and left it at that.
Edit: And 2 judges gave Nover rd 3 so...he was in the fight obviously.
