Sergio Martinez agrees to a Darren Barker fight (on Twitter)

[LA_2_Vegas]

Yeah, that's true it will most likely be on Sky. He was almost in the Studio recently aswell for the Carl Froch fight I think it was.

It will most likely be on tape delay. Been annoying they have been doing that recently.

The Alvarez-Rhodes fight is on tape delay but that's understandable.

Oohh...this is the dude that sometimes co-hosts in studio on the UK cards right??

You may be mixed up with someone else.

I can only recall him being in the studio for fight coverage once in recent years and has only been on Ringside (weekly boxing show in the UK) like 2 or 3 times.

Cintron - Top 10 at 154 went on to be ranked #1
Williams - #1 at 154
Pavlik - Ring Champion at 160
Williams - Top 5 at 154 and 160
Dzinzurik - WBO title - Top 10 at 154

Who else has a strength of schedule on par with Sergio's last 5?

These fights were in succession, but he can't get some slack cut?

He's ducking Pirog because of it?

[mrlopez]

i guess

Dibella is listening to Arum and is building Maravilla into a ppv attraction eh?

[The Smash]

It won't happen. Someone will point out the Barker is a legitimate middleweight and not a 154lb goatfarmer, at which point Martinez will cancel the fight and flee to Yemen(again).

[S.G.]

I wouldn't mind seeing this fight simply because I like Barker and it would be cool to see him in a major event.

[project xxx1]

I don't think he's ducking Pirog. I'm just disappointed because if we're only going to see him fight twice a year, at least let it be against proven well known fighters. I wouldn't have minded that much if he fought three times a year and took Barker (or even Manfredo) as a tuneup. Although, I understand it's HBO's fault for not giving him a summer date.

Bob Barker should retire.

He's like 50 years past his prime.

Sergio fighting Sandler's leftovers.
