Comments Thread For: Barker: I Should've Thrown More With Sergio Martinez

[Sparked_1985]

Barker done great.

The best I have ever seen him look in reality, and at one point I did think he could win.

It's a shame he can't punch hard.

And Sergio actually KO'd Barker. Not a KO by cheapshot!

No doubt. Sergio Martinez is the truth.

Yah, Barker had no other choce.. he knew if he let his hands go he was gna get droppped... but unfortunately, there are some people who knwo how to play defense yet be offensive at the right time and pick there spots.. Oh ! there's one person actually and that s Floyd...LOL.. Sorry Barker its a bit too late, but i think you made the rght move on not letting your hand go son...

I like barker's attitude, he sounds like a level-headed guy. Had he traded more, he would have gotten dropped quick-Martinez rocked him with every solid punch.

I just watched it and I was suprised with Barker's performance. Looked like Martinez was too.

Martinez wouldve been gone based on what??

On how easy dude was able to hit him and if he had power Martinez would have been in real trouble.

Doubtful. he didn't actually commit to any of his punches with any real conviction anyway. He was peppering martinez whenever he felt safe to open up. Had he open more he risks being countered more.. and exerting himself more with power punches ruins his balance more.

Martinez was peppered a lot with jabs for the most part, i don't see how that suddenly equates to knock out.

If Barker had traded, he was going down in a big way. Martinez wobbled Barker several times later on in the fight as he tired. Barker was defensive out of necessity....
