I think that

Susi Kentikian vs Simona Galassi

is on the undercard but SKY are only showing Barker v Sturm.

I could be wrong :-\

Can anyone give me a rough estimate of how long we have until the Barker fight actually starts?

SKY coverage starts at 9 but then goes on past 11 so I think they must be showing more than just the Barker/Sturm fight :confused:

Did not like that German promoter talking about Sturm making German history by fighting for a title a fourth time. Anybody know who the officials are?

German undercards have to be the absolute worst

Karl Heinz-Backhander
Jurgen Nein Clue
Stefan Sturm


:-)

I don't know mate. I am starting to think there are no decent officials left anywhere.

The judges: John Madfis(USA) Michael Flitzgerald(USA) Manuel Oliver Palomo(SPAIN)

Palomo likes draws...

Thanks. Pretty big fight for Flitzgeralds first gig.

yeah... its set up for disaster!

I cant recall a judge with no professional experience ever judging a fight of this magnitude.

That judge info must be wrong. However bent and pathetic boxing is, no way you get a "world" title fight for your first go

the link is bad. he has a record.... here's a better link:

http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=38527&cat=judge//

i think he's only done one or two 12 round fights tho....

Barker's ring music is utter shit. Docked 1 point straight away.

She can carry a few logs

Come on England. I mean Barker.

Well finally here we go should be fun enough

The Brilliant Barnet Barker. Wins by shock KO. Middle rounds.

This is gonna be a cracker, Barker's got to be on his game if he wants to leave Germany with a W!

I think sturm gets a ko but wouldn't surprise me if barker did sturms got a lot of miles

Sturm looking sharp and aggressive.

What's with the high camera angle? Thats putting me off

Fast start for Sturm. Good round

Sturm one zip but can't see him keepin that pace

who needs enemies....

AHHH fuck

:o

Darren Barker you joker. Complete crap. Such an over rated fighter and so disappointed he didnt give his title to a deserving Brit like Mack or Murray,

Thank you sturm needed that for the contest, I think dude knew this was the end of the line for him, when he starts like this he'd be a tough night for most but he tends to be so lazy

Ass beating

Well, that was brief. Sturm won that every which way. No going to the judges, no messing. Just came out firing on all cylinders and Barker was out of his depth. Big shame, but there we go.

Talk about crashing and burning. Strum destroyed him
