Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez vs. Darren Barker Saturday October 1st

[Galaxy]

Martinez stops him in 9.

Agreed! I don't think it'll last longer than that

Bumping this thread up..

This might be a decent fight Saturday evening on HBO.



Thoughts?

People tend to overlook certain fighters based on resume but there's alot more to it than just level of competition. I judge fighters based on their overall ability/potential more than the resume itself and from what ive seen, Barker is very underrated.. I dont know why people think that he's no match for martinez but i dont agree with that at all...

He's a natural middleweight for one thing.. He has decent skills and good punching power..

IT's not going to be an easy fight for martinez that's for sure.. Id be hella impressed if he scores a KO but im leaning towards a decision...

Barker is certainly no mug , this guy is a very good boxer , just not good enough to beat Martinez though ,but will be a cracking fight looking foreward to this .

What are recommendations for Barker fights to take a look at prior to the showdown with Martinez on Saturday?

Martinez by KO
He's on a roll right now and IMO no one 160 or below can hang with him.
