Sergio Martínez fought Barker with a dislocated elbow

Lame excuse. He looked fine. I saw him throwing plenty of shots with both hands, hooks, uppercuts etc. Barker is a good fighter. When you face good fighters, you get hit. Its boxing. No need to not give your opponent the proper respect for giving you a tough fight. the thing is he didn´t said it to Dan Rafael at the post fight press conference, he said it to a local newspaper not to the boxing world. Most of the power punches were right hooks, so, it is probably true.

Gabriel Montoya (or Steve Kim?) hinted that Martinez had some sort of injury in his online radio show a few days ago before the fight. This might be it. I don't think Martinez would lie about it i thought it was a hook that KO'ed barker? right hook

wow guess the poor b*sta*rd felt he WAS somewhat exposed!!! lmbo!!! thus the need for an excuse,,tho he won?:thinking: guess if he had his two good arms then he could take a hopkins and SMW!! but :nonono: he wants WWs lmao

it's called getting exposed & butt hurt. take this as a proscription overrated sergio :bottle: http://www.notifight.com/artman2/uploads/6/Ishida1.jpg

Sure thing Sergio HAHAHAHA. I used to like Martinez but he has turned into a clown at this point, with this ridiculous bs excuse. Before that Barker fight I actually thought he would maybe beat Floyd if they ever got in the ring. Now I am not so sure, it seems if you have a high guard, a good jab and a some pop in your right lead, you can work Sergio over all night. You're good Sergio, no need for this gay way out using some dislocated elbow excuse. Maybe you are just not as amazing as you want the world to think?

I had cartilage damage. I was afraid that the referee stopped the bout me. So I went over the end however, to seek the knockout, he arrived. -So, not much threw left-handed minaste Barker's body to pure right jab. Yes, of course. That was my game plan. But the reality is it was broken ... - How is that? Yes, four days before the fight suffered a dislocated left elbow in training. I have fiber and partial rupture of ligaments. I've got a life.

Things of a champion. i hope that fight happens

You guys are missing the most interesting part. Read the bottom part of the translation ThePhantom5 posted. They're pretty much saying a fight with either pacquioa or mayweather is pretty much close to being confirmed for April 2012. -Even so, it became clear, that you feel more comfortable when you come to attack ... -Of course, champ, I'm not a fighter attack, there are styles and styles.

:lol1: yeah right!:lol1:

I'm not buying this excuse. Do you also not buy that Pirog had a back injury when he had his bad performance against Maciel?

Sergio doesn't seem like the sort of guy to b.s. and lie to cover up a bad performance, he took his loss to Williams like a man with no excuses and came back stronger and more focused. An injury makes sense, he didn't seem like himself in the ring, wasn't throwing with conviction or speed with that hand like he normally does. Hopefully it's nothing serious and some rest/therapy fixes it and he's good to go for his next fight.

I'm not buying this excuse. A Klitschko fan wanting to talk about excuses for loses? :ok:

Now I'm confused... Which one is it? 1. Old age + injury = Steriodio 2. Barker is a bum and took a dive. :LOL:

Dont go that road Sergio......

I'm not buying this excuse.

The argentinian boxer spoke to a local newspaper and told that he had an elbow dislocation in his left arm four days before the fight with Darren Barker. He said that was the reason why he used just his jab for Knoking him out.

Gabriel Montoya (or Steve Kim?) hinted that Martinez had some sort of injury in his online radio show a few days ago before the fight. This might be it.

What a a warrior, respect to the king.
