I had Martinez winning 8 rounds.
Barker could of won more rounds if he was more active but he also would of left himself more open for Martinez's big shots and Martinez may of taken him out sooner.
Agree :friday:
6 or 7, there were some close rounds. Martinez would try and steal the round in the last 30 seconds after losing the first 2 1/2 mins, didn't fall for that ****. When he put the work in I gave him the round.
6-4 to Martinez, although a lot of Martinez's work was one dimensional. PAC and Floyd would outbox him at 150. Catchweight between Froch and Martinez has potential IMO.
Once I saw how their styles matched up against each other in the first round I knew it would be a tough fight for Sergio. I wasn't at all surprised by the bloody nose because Barker fought a smart, tentative fight. The knockout looked a little weird to me but then I realized Sergio had been hitting Barker at that same spot all night.

Not a Sergio fan, but any boxing fan can see Sergio won almost every round of that fight.
It's hard to knock someone out early that doesn't want to be knocked out, just see the Pac/Clottey fight for an example.

I didn't watch every second of every round cause I was switching to the Marquez-Nishioka fight,but at the time of the stoppage I had him with 4 rounds,he was unloading a lot of flashy combinations but most of his shots went to Barker's gloves and arms,he seldom landed hard shots but the english dude seemed to take them very well,he was also being tagged often with jabs and I saw Barker landing the cleaner shots in quantity,I think he should be thankful Barker doesn't have too much pop...
Floyd pitches a shutout vs. JMM, Ortiz, and Mosley (-1).
Pac pitches a shutout vs. Clottey, Margarito, and Mosley.
And Steroidgio has a competitive fight vs. a Goat Farmer.
I told you he was a bum.

cant remember the rounds, but i had it 3-3 after 6 rds. Pretty sure i gave him one of the next 2. And Martinez took the 9th and 10th. He battered him in the 10th. Martinez turned it up a gear or 2 and Barker couldn't cope/adapt.
