There are a ton of good fighters in the MW division to test himself and get him ready for Maravilla, I don't know why he's chasing such a big fight so quick.
Honestly I feel like either his team or his own mentally isn't in the game for the right reasons. He should have fought again in July. Dude is wasting himself away, he's already 30 years old.
what work has barker put in??who has he beat?
Who has Pirog beat?
If both fighters are considered "nobody's", then what else can you base Martinez's decision to fight him? Pirog has 18 fights under his belt, where as Barker has 23. Both undefeated.
Let him cherry pick, he's been giving us good fights for a while now and in great entertaining fashion. Maybe he sees Pirog as a higher risk than Barker. Who knows.
Barker's put in more work than Pirog, he's better deserving than Pirog.
If you want to make a case for Martinez, maybe he needs to fight a few more quirky Euro fighters to get used to fighting them. Since nobody in or around the U.S. wants to fight him.
What has barker done to get a shot martinez. I keeping hearing pirog need to earn it but yet he is fighting someone who hasn't.
This is true.Someone has to break the trend.Martinez should fight Pirog.Who the fvck is Barker anyway??
