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

[Mars_ax]

Looking forward to see this fight, im rooting for the British fighter obviously. But Sergio Martinez is class i just hope Darren Barker atleast makes it competitive.

From what i've heard about Barker, he's a tough customer, with a good chin, so the fight figures to be somewhat competitive, at least while it lasts.

To be honest im way behind on current boxing, i don't watch nowhere near as much boxing as i used to. But from what i have seen Darren Barker may put up a better fight than what people expect.

The knock on Barker is he hasn't faced much quality opposition or anyone of the caliber of Martinez. So it's understandable that most people don't give Barker much of a chance, but here's his big opportunity to shine.

The Vera vs. Lee undercard should start in about 15 to 20 minutes from now on HBO..

Very interesting fight can Andy Lee comeback i wonder.

I'm supporting Barker, but love Martinez and think he will probably win. I also take Lee over Vera.

This is much needed! I think Merchant just challenged Jim to a fight but who cares...ring the bell!

[ICB]

Good start for Lee he needs to stay calm and not get lured into a brawl like last time.

Lampley, Steward, and Merchant, calling the fights tonight for HBO, Vera and Lee in the ring, here we go.

It's Guinness time.

Decent round for lee, weird lookin jab

[Spicoli]

Vera resembles a super sized Daniel Ponce deleon. Good round for Lee but still takes far too many rights.

Good fight so far.

2nd round KD for Lee, good start for him, this is only a 10 rounder.

Contender fighters just love wearing skirts for some reason.

[ICB]

Nice classy counters from Lee especially that uppercut.
