As a corner man for Darren Barker on Saturday night, Joey Gamache, the former lightweight champion, got a good look at Sergio Martinez. Gamache was busy in Atlantic City, helping four different boxers achieve victories in three of their fights. One of the fighters he guided to a win was Andy Lee, who won an impressive decision against Brian Vera. As a result of the win, Lee has been mentioned as a possible opponent for Martinez and his WBC Diamond middleweight title. While Gamache was admiring of Martinez’s effort- he stopped Barker in the 11th round- he also saw some flaws. The normally bubbly Martinez labored against the defensive-minded Barker, working harder than he usually does. [Click Here To Read More]

what great objectivity & unbiased commentary from the man in the corner or two men wanting to rival martinez.....*yawn*
His boy got ktfo by way of accumulation after being on defense all night. What does he think would've happen had barker opened up??
Answer: Sergio would've opened a Giant can of "whoop ass" on that boi & really showed his age...looking like a father chastising his son.

This is funny. The corner man is basically discrediting his fighter Darren Barker for putting up a good effort against one of the best fighters in the sport. Martinez KO'd this guy who broke his nose and was mostly on defense using a good jab. What's up with Boxing fans nowadays? Martinez took care of business and I'm sure whoever he fights next will get beat as well. Just because a fighter has difficulty in the ring against a fighter don't make him a bad fighter ESPECIALLY when he adjusted and got the KO.

Wouldn't he want top say "we fought the best Sergio".
Way to devalue your guys effort.
I think one of the reasons that Gamache may have taken the job was to get a good look at Martinez and any possible weaknesses that they could use against him.
