Barker will retire now. Bet on it.
That's the thing that bothers me about Sturm. I honestly don't think he's ever gotten a true gift, hes had some close ones go for him and some go against him recently, but I always wonder how his career would have been different if he got the decision against oscar, he probably wouldn't be so averse to traveling.
I'm not insulting Sturm. I'm just saying the way this business works there was never gonna be a rematch. That was all complete bollocks. Just like Bute-Froch.

I backed Sturm to KO him.
it really depends how he wins. If its a close SD then yes there would have been a rematch. But like the Bute rematch, there is no need now.

Nice shout. I backed Sturm round 7-12 at 12/1, Thought Barker would last a bit longer
