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

Obviously your lady friend knows as much about boxing as you seem to know.

Well the majority seems to think the same thing. I guess seeing someone get KO'd from a punch on the glove is common. Sry, but in my 25yrs of watching boxing, I have never seen such a thing.

I like Sergio and consider myself a fan. With that said. I have always believed that Sergio was slightly overrated. I also believe that Harold Lederman needs to retire and go play golf if he really believes that Barker only won one round in that fight.

Harold Lederman is a flaming sergiosexual, not that there's anything wrong with that. But you can't let it affect your work.

The resulty speak for themselses, when you've beaten the best 154 pounder and best 160 pounder, and at one point held belts in both weigh classes, it's hard not to be on the pound for pound list. But I know what you mean by being overrated. He relies alot on timing, and if it's off, like it was tonight, it's not going to look pretty. Nonetheless, he did what he needed to do and knocked the guy out.

All the haters come out and say ****** things. Why in the world would Darren Barker take a dive? Think before you speak. Darren Barker's dream is to become a world champion, and he takes a dive against Sergio Martinez? How much did Martinez offer him? $10 to take a dive?

That's what I said when that same suggestion was floated elsewhere (and surprisingly a popular theory). My counter was that he simply had the fight beaten out of him. His reaction certainly didn;t match the fight-ending punch, but seemed like anything that came close to landing was going to put him out. He was done in the 10th and a dead man walking from that point on

I thought you were a Sergiosexual. Let me ask you, are you obsessed with any other athlete not in boxing?

Saying things like that are just ******. They forget that Sergio had hurt Darren 3 times before he knocked him out, so, it's not as if it out of the blue, Darren Barker was hurt before that flurry.

You guys are funny, Sergio is human not a robot, a broken nose and he cameback. Barker had a good defense,He was landing good but Martinez came back like a champion. WAR MARAVILLA!

Mayweather should take a fight with Martinez - he would pitch a near shutout against Martinez. If slower guys could hit Martinez, Mayweather's speed would be way too much for him and Mayweather would time him perfectly all night and not get hit by Martinez's telegraphed punches.

I hope people in this forum stop asking Martinez to move to SMW. Barker was too big for him. He should move to JMW.

Agreed, some people are ******. He is now a large JMW, which is why he offered Pac 150.
