there's my brother bowing down to the greatest!

[Simurgh]

Towel was thrown a little quick

it was 30 sec, no way he would survive. no need for brutal beating.

[Slyboots]

Is it me or is the left side of Darren Barker's head his weak spot?

[daggum]

Barker has a rematch clause in the uk

does he have a chin in the uk? no.

[Jloro]

Sturm vs Kid Chocolate?

Came back here just to say that!! Either him Or Sergio.

I would have agreed pre-match but Sturm buzzed him most/all his shots.

The one to the temple did the damage. It was like Ottke KOing Mundine lol.

[Humean]

Barker has hip problem it seems.

wow. was not expecting that at all. i thought it was a 50/50 fight but gone the distance for sure. sturm looked excellent. where was that stuff the last few years? or ever really?

The problem with Sturm the past few fights was his lack of activity and willingness to throw punches. He would throw a jab (which he has one of the stiffest in the sport still, IMO) and shell up and eat some punches and shoot another jab and every other minute or so, throw a right hand

His punch output was his downfall in all of those close fights, I said a couple of months ago when this fight was made that if Sturm just opens up a bit more, he would beat Barker. I didn't watch the fight just now, but I'm guessing he decided to let his hands go like he should of Against Geale and Soliman

Absolutely. Barker was recovering and fighting back.

This Sturm would destroy Quillin with ease.

That's not really saying much, Quillin is very sub-par.
