Does Barker redeem himself in England?

[Sparked_26]

nope. the guy has no chin. did you see martinez knock him out with a lil tap? geale has no power so he was lucky and still almost got stopped. sturm doesn't have power either and he was being destroyed.

Not true.

He just usually has that typical German hands held high plodding style; exploding with combinations towards the end of rounds.

He hurts almost everyone he fights from what I have seen from his career. I liked Barker but I always knew it was a possibility he could get stopped tonight.

What's this about Barkers hip and a million euros?

come on dude he doesn't have power. power is golovking or kovalev not buzzing your opponent slightly.

Barker's left hip is dislocated, I hope he can come back.

Its not about him improving, its about him fighting a different fight and boxing instead of brawling. If he recovers in time for a rematch I give him a chance in London.

Apparently he got paid a million Euros for this fight.

Which is awesome for Barker who for much of his career looked like being strictly domestic/European level.

I don't know about his hip tbh. It looked like Sturm was lighting him up and would definitely have stopped him at some point.

I am gutted though.

Darren needed to use his legs which he didn't at all. I doubt he went in the ring with a dislocated hip.

that sucks... heard it's a recurring problem

I guess improve his tactics then.
But I doubt he can recover in time for next year with a dislocated hip...well at least for the first half of the year

A min in, you could tell Sturm was going to win

Exactly.

Sturm just looked dominant and extremely sharp right off that bat.

[MDPopescu]

Barker dislocated his hip?
Here comes the voluntary defenses

He might have it dislocated -- but after a very hard punch at the head.

I thought he looked good... but at the same Time I was thinking Barker would take over in the second half and sturm would fade..... I was wrong as shit
