Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Stalls Darren Barker's Brave Stand

[JakeNDaBox]

By Jake Donovan - Maybe now, some of the best fighters in and around the middleweight division will be more willing to step to Sergio Martinez.

In the very definition of “win today, look good the next time”, Martinez overcame a sluggish slow start and a broken nose to win an 11th round knockout over Darren Barker of England on Saturday evening at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. [Click Here To Read More]

Props to Darren Barker.

He gave a very good account of himself tonight, when you consider that Sergio Martinez is a top P4P fighter.

I had Barker ahead 3 rounds to 2 after 5.

(Martinez came on in the later rounds, I had Sergio ahead 6 to 4 after 10).

Darren showed he is not a bum like Gary Lockett.

Barker took a dive. How do you get KO'd from a punch on the glove?

Good Fight by Barker. Sergio now should fight the winner of the Cotto-Margarito fight.

Isn't Manny wearing the same jacket that Fraud wore before? On Kellermans Face Off just now?

Even my woman said...."wtf was that? He punched him on the glove! How did he get knocked out like that?"

Exactly, that was a slap and not a punch. Barker QUIT!

Agreed!!!!!

Agreed!!!!!

I hope people in this forum stop asking Martinez to move to SMW. Barker was too big for him. He should move to JMW.
