Darren Barker can beat Sergio FACT!

[intoccabile]

Now Sergio is one hell of a fighter but the guy is a rhythm fighter. His power is overrated as hell all because he K.O'd Paul Williams.

You lot sit there :bukkake: oh King Sergio you look so great beating these guys, let me kiss you Sexy Sergio, you just beat up a robot.

Now he has really amazing lateral movement which confuses opponents but seriously has anybody ever studied this guy?

I have noticed in real time, never mind had to slow the guy down. He lays down the same traps, he throws the exact same combinations over & over again.

Jab, straight left.

Parry, jab, straight left.

Lead left, right hook, straight left.

Feints the jab, jab, straight left.

Now this is probably a case of easier said than done, but IMO he often looks better than he is because his opponents A/ have a poor or no gameplan at all, B/ his recent opponents have prepared poorly. C/ his movement & simple things which are bad habits such as dropping his hands, makes the guy look flashier/better than he is.

All this talk of Martinez vs Pac or Mayweather, yh the weight difference is a big factor but both guys are technically leagues ahead of Martinez, they are both way way too clever & would school Martinez.


Pavlik has virtually zero boxing I.Q, he looked like he had never sparred/fought a southpaw before in his life. His tactics was awful!


People don't realise William can not adapt, I said this way before he fought Quitana! he fights the same way every single time, it had nothing to do with this ''blueprint'' his style is and always was playing into Sergio's hands. He did exactly the same in the 2nd fight, he has always done it, he did it against Cintron, Wright, Quintana, even after Martinez when he fought Lara, the guy can not adapt, it's simple as that.


Barker can beat Sergio because he knows how to fight southpaws, he learned to box fighting southpaws, the guy has sparred with the Cuban national teams etc


He is a tall guy with very fast hands, he is not going to stand in front of Sergio, following him around, drooling at him like he's hopelessly in love, eating jabs & straight lefts.
Barkers a very intelligent boxer with good tools. He is technically 20 times the fighter Dzinurik is. He would box the ears off Macklin, who you all said had no chance against Sturm.

Win-lose-draw, I am telling you, everyone of you is wrong & Barker will shock you ALL. He might not win but you'll say ''Wow that idiot from boxingscene was right, Barkers doing bloody well, decent fighter''

He is taller, he has the reach, he is as fast as Sergio if not faster. This isn't because I am from the U.K and supporting my fighter as I hate most British boxers in fact the only ones I rate are Froch, Brook & Barker. I don't even rate Burns or Khan.

This kid is damn good and you'll see. Most underrated boxer of the last decade.

I am a massive fan of Sergio but the guy simply isn't as great as he is made out to be, far from.

Power overrated? Williams isn't his only KO. He's got serious pop in his straight.

Also, pointing out his patterns aren't getting you anywhere considering the majority of his best work comes off of counters and he's fast enough to get his counters off before his opponent resets.

Honestly, Pacman is only jab straight as well for the most part. I feel like teh exact same picture you painted here could be painted for ANY fighter. You're just reaching, heavily IMO.

can:maybe

will he: NO

[N!GGALAS CAGE]

Who?

Oh yeah, the guy we just heard about for the first time about a month ago.

Sexy Serg will spank his ass and talk about how he's can't make 154 but will complain that Mayweather and Pacquiao don't want a piece of him.

[Larry the boss]

yea alfonso gomez beats him as well

[IronDanHamza]

If you think Mayweather and Pacquiao's cherry picks are bad, then think again.

Because this is the Mother of all Cherry picks.

Darren Baker is going to get absolutely brutalized.

I like Darren, he's a good guy and a decent fighter.

But after his lay off, he has had 1 fight in which he didn't look to great in.

Next up: Sergio Martinez.

Frankly, a joke.

One of the biggest miss matchs and most unlegit fights I have seen at championship level in a very long time.

[Spray_resistant]

I took a look at some of Barkers fights, he is decent but decent isn't going to cut it against Sexi.

[IronDanHamza]

Yeah, Martinez giving a 29 year old undefeated fighter his chance to get his shine on. But this one is either flying under the radar or recieving hate like Floyd is for giving the young guys a shot. Too bad there's no shot to **** big name fighters around 160 to throw on a ppv.

Seriously, trying to defend this fight is simply ridiculous.

This fight is undefendable. And worse than any fight Mayweather or Pacquaio have been involved in for a very long time.

Sergio Martinez is a cherry picking a fighter who isn't ranked in the Top 10, has had 1 fight in which he looked decent after a year lay off due to injury.

And before that injury, he did almost nothing of note and especially not at Championship level in his entire career.

Again, undefendable.
