Why couldn't they reach a deal? That would have been a good fight. I remember DiBella saying they tried to get both him and Sturm for October. I could understand Sturm declining because he still has a fight ahead, but Geale should have jumped on that opportunity...
I'm just really pissed about this Barker fight...it's a waste of Martinez's prime. There's no telling when his age will start to kick in. If he wants to fight a nobody, at least fight one with a title like Pirog or Golovkin...heck even Rubio would have been better.
what happened is geale wants to fight in australia against a bum for easy money and martinez wants to fight on hbo agaisnt a bum for easy money. everyone wins(except the fans but fukk them)
Geale wanted to make a defence in Australia first
Well I can't knock him for that. Hopefully he and Martinez meet in early 2012.
I still wish Martinez would pick a more solid nobody...Rubio would probably f**k Barker up in Lemeiux fashion. I hope he's just a place holder to keep the October date until they find a better opponent.
I don't even know who the fvck Barker is yet. The guy literally has no name, and I agree it is such a waste of his prime. I hate seeing this sort of **** happening. I feel like that is happening to Donaire as well.
