Why do trainers tell fighters to fight like Darren Barker?

That's a very good way to fight for guys who don't have the most athleticism in the world. No one looks good against it, and only the very best can convincingly beat that style. Barker's style wasn't the problem, it was just that he isn't good enough or experienced enough to beat Martinez.

A lot of people can be instructed to do a certain thing but it is the world class fighters that can change on the fly and put themselves in the right spot to win. Still think his team should put their fighter in the best spot to win, not his best spot for health. This is Boxing and you know what you get into when you sign up for it. Winning a fight should be the most important thing on a corners mind.

Serious question? n there's your answer right there............
This fight was a Big step up for Barker yu know, I would have thought that was obvious to any boxing fans... Sergio is a world class fighter, people saying he shudn't be on the pound-4-pound list 'cos he neva got Barker outta there earlier are talkin ****. Yeah, Barker was always coming forward, but he had his hands glued in position to protect his head for 11 rounds Lol, what was Sergio meant to do? Low Blow him when the ref weren't lookin and them smash his jaw when his hands were down graspin his bollocks ?

Darren Barker came to just collect a paycheck and not get KO'd. It was evident, he pulled a David Haye/ Shane Mosley.
Then at the end as he was tiring he just QUIT. Dude is a joke. He was talking smack before the fight too.
I bet you he will have the McKloskey UK Twat disease of him saying "i made Khan-Sergio look Average, bla bla bla"
There is a reason hardcore boxing fans never heard of Barker, he is a boring twat. Reminded me of a white Bhop in terms of Boring-ness.
if Barker had a dirty cheating trainer like Nazim Richardson he mightve won yesterday by elbowing/headbutting/pretend to get hit low/ and illegally hitting Sergio like Bhop always does he mightve squeeked out a boring 12 UD (now known as a 12RD BHOP UD)

Well considering he was a handpicked domestic club fighter in britain, he did good and was competitive throughout.

I agree that everyone should give it everything to win, you should go out fighting like Chael Sonnen vs. Anderson Silva in UFC.
But Sergio is on a whole next level to Barker, he would have got KO'd much earlier and given his fans a poor fight if he had taken a different fight plan and gone in tryna knock him out and he wouldn't have beaten him on points althoug he was competitive.
That in bold right there is wrong bro. Darren never just quit 'cos he was tired, He wouldn't have tried to get back up if he quit. And did yu even watch the fight? When he was sat in his corner at the end yu could see his head was shook n he was dazed.....
Barker, trash talking? When was this? lmao, I've seen a few interviews and he never said a word of bull**** in my eyes, he just said he wanted the fight 'cos he thought he could win.... whats wrong with that?
If that's smack talk to you then you must think David Haye the Devil on Earth.....
This is wrong aswell b, The reason boxing diehards never heard of Barker is because he has never been in any International level fight with a world class boxer before n thats only the second time he's fought outside of the UK....
If he is boring then Bradley's like watching fockin paint dry, Barker's had less fights, KO'd more and has usually dominated his opponent.......
