Why delete threads about possible dive...

thats how it looked like to me too.....almost as fake as jmm's likar ramos ko...lol LOL Well at least JMM actually hit the guy flush on the chin. It was the way Ramos fell down gently and then acted as if he had planked P. Williams style.

Re watch it and see what Barkers coach tells him before the 11th. He gave him the SIGNAL. http://www.beawesomeinstead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/himym_pilot_signal.png

Barker had to sell it... Barker had to sell it...Shawn Michaels' style :) http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r117/zombiesupastar/Sid.jpg

He took 90 hooks to the left side of the head, great thread BTW. OK mods, you can delete thread again.

I dont know if 'dive' is the correct term, but Barker definitely quit. Originally I thought it was a delayed effect from a previous punch, but none of them really seemed to hurt him or land all that clean. I think he just felt overmatched and didnt think he could win, nor did he want to take any more punishment. so he threw in the towel for himself. weird considering he really wasnt doing half bad. the stupid bugger might have been able to win the fight with his strategy if he went to the body more at close range, and actually put the attack on Martinez after Martinez was on the ropes/after Martinez was winded from throwing so many punches.

Whatever the case, Barker took a shot and went down after losing the better part of 10 rounds, getting hit to the body clean and being pummled in 4 straight rounds, getting buzzed multiple times (by a jab no less on one). That shot didn't look that clean to me, but I've never been through that and gotten hit on the side of the back of the neck in the 11th round, so I can't call it.

come one come all and see the amazing "diving" darren baker!

it was either a dive/quittage or baker has the worst chin ever. you decide! How teh hell does his chin comes to the equation when the punch barely graced Barkers glove who was almost at the back of his head!! That was a dive!!!

thats how it looked like to me too.....almost as fake as jmm's likar ramos ko...lol Exactly!!!!! The punch Martinez threw barely landed on the glove and he got KOd?? WTF? :lame:

Is it that crazy and stupid of a question to ask? Barker looked like he took a dive that is all im surprised he didn't take a knee.

it definatly looked odd

It didn't even look dodgy, let it go... B4 deletion Im not saying it was a dive, but that shit looked suspect. I cant wait to gif that whole sequence. 2nd stumble looked fake as hell and im a heavy Martinez fan

Didnt look Dodgy? He punched him on the damn hand! How did he get KO'd? I'm assuming you've never boxed before because you would know that blocking punches still cause damage. But to explain it to you, Barker was tired, he took damage over 10 rounds, nearly got dropped 2 rounds earlier and took a hard hook followed but a shot behind the ears.

Hate for this to be my first post, but that was a BS KO if I've ever seen one. First thing I said to myself was that Barker must have bet on himself to lose by KO in the 11th round, because that punch did NOT have KO written on it at all. He punched him on the glove for christ sakes!
