    Team Darren Barker ROLL CALL!!!!!

    Just wondering if you guys actually exist? Barkerboys or anyone cheering for Barker to win? Not actually pulling for Barker, best of luck to him though!

    Despite the fact I have slate this fight so much since it was signed, mainly because it's a terrible cherrypick by Martinez, I am absolutely rooting for Barker.

    Not because he's my countryman, but just because I like the guy.

    I like his attitude, his back story, his willingness to fight the best. The fact he took a reasonably difficult fight for his frst fight back after his lay-off when he could have fought an all out bum.

    And more over, I actually like his style.

    But the fact is, he has absolutely no chance what so ever in this fight and should NOT be in a title fight. But he's not to blame. It's ALL on Martinez for taking this worthless fight.

    I would love Barker to somehow beat him, love it. But sadly, he is in for brutal, one sided beat down.

    War Barker!!!

        You're complaining about Barker even though you never seen him fight? And you want Martinez to lose just....because? Jesus, what kind boxing fan are you?

          Honestly, and I know it's been said before. But I'd really like for this to just be an entertaining fight. After all the mishaps and strange things that have happened in boxing this summer. But considering how good Martinez is, there really shouldn't be any way for Barker to achieve that. Fingers crossed Barker makes a fight of it. Lee/Vera will be excellent.

            Okay, the tally so far is.. We have one Barker Boy! Any other fans want to step up?

                Barker is an easy guy to like and a good boxer, but he isnt ready for this level. I have been watching Sergio's recent fights over the last week or so, and despite his age I think he is still improving. I expect him to win and I am expecting Barker to put up a good effort. I am rooting for him 100% and would love it if he somehow gets the win. Not

                Put my name down on the team!

                  We got TWO Barker Boys!!! TBH, Barker should be the same kind of scared as opponents who had to step in with Tyson were. Martinez power and ferocity has been scary at times, and I just don't think Barker has near the abilities necessary to keep up. GL to Barker!

                    I like both guys but I am rooting for Barker.

                    He's my countryman & it's a huge ask but wow what a story it would make & tbh nobody deserves it more than Darren IMO
                    Great guy inside & outside the ring. Very intelligent & underrated & you know he isn't there just for a payday.

                    Come on Darren!

                    I hope he gives a good account of himself because I know he's very capable of it & I am sure he'll win some fans over with his performance regardless of the outcome.
