How good is Darron Barker?

From what I saw of him he is an ok fighter but ok is not good enough to let alone win but prevent a terrible beating that pragmaster sexi will deliver on to that anus. Steady on Larry will start getting flash backs to his time in the joint

Classic case of overrating a fighter & underrating another. I do think Sergio will win but it's not going to be an easy fight at all. THIS is what i love to hear. this is how pound for pound fighters gain respect...by blowing out fighters you believe should give them major problems. i did not expect martinez to eradicate williams, i did not expect him to out-jab and rubberneck dzinziruck and now, on your word, i do not expect him to have a "roy jones jr. versus random contender" fight against barker. IF he does, and i don't mean get hit by some punches, as martinez is aggressive to the point that defense is abandoned at times to get-off, but if he does look awe-inspiring against barker, i want to see that rise in respect from both of us.

Ignore the guys that have posted, this guy was one fight away from making the olympic team. He's done it the hard way picking up the British title & European title on the way, he is no bum. He's a tall guy that can & it's very likely will give Martinez big problems. Very fast hands & good movement, nice jab & likes to fight at range. He's had a few set backs in his career (injuries & attacked outside a nightclub) He's had a lot of experience against southpaws & I believe sparred & trained with Joe Calzaghe. He does lack power but he's not feather fisted by all means, he has enough power to command respect. I am not saying he will pull the upset off but he certainly has the tools & it won't be no walk in the park for Martinez. People give the robotic european level Dzinziruk a chance. Barker is a hell of a lot more skilled than Dzinziruk. I am telling you & anybody who is willing to listen, Barker is no scrub & if he brings his A game then he is more than capable of given Sergio massive problems.

Quite a silly fight, it's crazy that the P4P no.2 is fighting someone that none of his countrymen have even heard of. Real boxing fans aside, nobody knows his name. Martinez will run him down, he should be fighting top top competition or even challenging the top names from more competitive divisions.

He is nowhere near Martinez level. He will get straight Ko'ed. Im from the UK and half the boxing fans dont even know who he is

remember when martinez said he must fight chavez because he stole his belt! remember when martinez said he will never fight pirog because he stole his belt! Lol, funny how that is. Martinez never said he WON'T fight Pirog, from what I can remember of him saying regarding that matchup. Him and DiBella just said he's not a draw in the U.S and isn't that experience to be looked at too much. Not saying Barker is but it's somewhat true. Gennady Golovkin is also a tough challenge but doesn't he have some European promotional issues or something?

pirogs belt was martinez belt....remember? remember when martinez said he must fight chavez because he stole his belt! remember when martinez said he will never fight pirog because he stole his belt!

pirogs belt was martinez belt....remember? i know that,so is chavez's belt....they just royally raped Martinez for his belts in 2 damn divisions...............

pirogs belt was martinez belt....remember?

My theory is that this is a case of a promoter doing a favor for another promoter so that later on the favor can be repaid back. it's just a case of a promoter protecting his fighter and earning millions in the process. aka good promoting!

He's probably the best guy they could get who is willing to fight Martinez. Which is sad that that's somebody not currently in the top 10. wrong. pirog who's in the top 10, has a belt, and has been on hbo before wants the fight. dibella's response "fukk pirog!" it's called cherry picking

Euro level. Who has that guy fought? seriously.

**** it big Vanes has called out the top people he deserves it and why is that? Cuz of twitter...lol whiny little b1tch.

"because manny pacroid and floyd gayweather are ducking him." :lol1: naw, just joking. it's honestly a crap fight, no other way to describe it. barker won't present any challenge martinez hasn't already faced. i honestly don't know why he got a shot. team martinez did say they were taking an easy fight after dzinziruk, but i thought it'd be a stay busy fight going down like right away. guess not....hopefully they face a tough opponent next.

He aint no Pirog or Zbik thats for damn sure

Ok fighter. Easy fight for Martinez
