not something you'd expect from the Pound 4 Pound #2 guy in the world. **** fight.

I like how Lou said he's the highest availible guy on that list. Really? I didn't see Pirog mentioned, I wounder why? Wouldn't he be the highest available on the list? oh but no one knows who Pirog is right? Well I'm sure HBO ratings will be through the roof because of Barker! What american knows who barker is? hardly even hardcore fans know who he is.

Dazzling Darren is decent, but Serg' should be much too much for him - Barker hasn't operated near this level and is facing a beast in Martinez in his first world-class bout.

Barker would be a better match for Chavez Jr.


As such, this is not really that creditable a defense for Maravilla, at a point when he needs to be getting the best out of his time.

Why in the world would HBO accept this?

If Barker doesn't get KO'd I think he'll give a good account of himself on the scorecards.

Martinez, HBO and the WBC should be ashamed of themselves.

No one wants the fight the guy. He called out Manny and Floyd. He's that fighter who is really good but won't sell tickets. So it's not worth it for bigger named guys to fight him. (Sorta like winky wright in his prime) So he's stuck fighting lesser guys.
