Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Stalls Darren Barker's Brave Stand

[puga]

Serg is playing you all. He has to if he wants a major fight. Seems like he's already fooled basic forum nerds, now if he only fooled the dim witted fraidy cat boxing "champions". Just watch

...sergio was just trying to make himself look like ****?.....thats a new one....

I don't put Vera and Barker even remotely close to the same level. Martinez would beat Lee no quams about it. Barker isn't the goat farmer mushacolonstain hoped he would be. funny you call the 19-5 (12 ko) a "contender", yet the 23-0 (14 ko) fighter is in your words, "a bum"

I'd love for you to provide a simple, lamen's answer to that one.

vera is better than barker becuase he beat decnt oppostion in the past like mora and lee...what has barker done?.....nothing!

Actually Margarito & cotto all weigh around the same wt on fight night....Victor ortiz just weighed in 2 lbs heavier vs floyd...SM is only 5'10. He was smaller than barker..smaller than chavez jr....smaller than cintron...pavlik...pirog....I'm confused about ur point....Floyd & pac are both slight & small men. 5'8 & 5'6.5 respectively. Martinez really isn't a MW...he's just better than everybody else there.

Nice comment mistermartin finally someone with some real common sense !

Barker took a dive. How do you get KO'd from a punch on the glove?

I agree completely. That punch bounced of his glove which took a lot of the power out of it and then if it did knock him down he could have gotten up and chose not to. Guess he had had enough and decided to take his purse and go back to his country.

Can't u read? Or see? Watch this fight and his previous fights and listens to merchants comments. When he fights a big name he will dominate

Try to say that after 90 punches to the right side of your head. I think the ko was legit. Possible ear damage/issue

[Larazaunida]

He stated how others may be willing to fight him now. I'm very interested to see who serg next oponet is. I'm going against Andy lee. Cotto vs marg could be very telling to see If it has an impact on his next fight. Even with dibella/arum nut slapping contest. ALSO if angulo beats Kirkland, maybe el perro won't ***** out this time. (I'm a perro fan also)

floyd was right, HBO should fire Larry Merchant as well as lampley and ledderman. steward gets a pass because he was somewhat fair... THESE IDIOTS B1TCHED FOR 10 ROUNDS ON HOW BARKER SHOULD LET HIS HANDS GO IF HES HERE TO "WIN".... WELL YOU EFFIN AHOLES YOU ARE THE SAME IDIOTS THAT APPROVED THIS OVERMATCHED FIGHT TO TAKE PLACE. BARKER DOESNT BELONG IN A RING 1000 MILES FROM SERGIO LET ALONE IN THE SAME RING, BUT HBO STILL APPROVED THE FIGHT AND THEIR COMMENTATORS WANT THIS GUY TO LET HIS HANDS AND FIGHT CARELESS SO HE CAN GET KTFO COLD... BARKER DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO AND HE WASNT EMBARRASSED UNLIKE DZINZIRUK OR PWILL AND HE COLLECTED A COOL $350k. IF HBO WANTS TO SEE MORE ENGAGING FIGHTS, MAYBE THEY SHOULD ONLY APPROVE APPROPRIATLY MATCHED FIGHTS. ITS THEIR AIRWAYS AND THEY CAN CONTROL WHAT THEY PUT ON, BUT PLEASE TELL YOUR ANNOUNCERS TO NOT SOUND LIKE IDIOT MORONS

your avatar picture should get you banned. . . hahaha FART'O'ROSYAN. . . boxing's biggest clown-face. . . ALL TALK, NO substance. . .

Steward said the same thing - Barker should let his hands go more if he wanted to win. . . They all praised Barker for being better than they thought - but they all made the obvious point that if barker wanted to WIN THE FIGHT he would need to throw more punches. . . just an accurate observation. .. I don't think they were *****ing at all. . I like the HBO team. . . Yeah, Merchant is getting up there, but he's still a G! And Lampley and Steward PERFECLY compliment each other. . . .

lol vanes martorosyan. . . .
