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

[ICB]

Good round for Barker the Winky Wright defensive style is working a treat.

[ICB]

Barker busting up Martinez a bit im GETTING REALLY EXCITED NOW THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR ENGLAND GO ON BARKER.

[ICB]

I think Barker is winning the fight 3-2 could easily be 4-1.

[ICB]

4-2 Barker.

[ICB]

That was a big round for Martinez, hopefully Barker gets a 2nd wind.

[Spicoli]

Much better sharp shooting for martinez but if ever a fight was a contrast in body language to a judge its here...hands dropped, backing, bloody and Barker trying to stand on his chest. 4-2 Sergio

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Barker is throwing good rigt hand leads, he needs to build on that and work in the left to the body then the hook upstairs.... I see Martinez open to it!

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Ah bollocks, Martinez went out in round 7 and got his front hand working and it's thrown Barker off, Martinez finally looking confident.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Barker doesn't have an answer for those body shots. Unless his wants to get sharp with his uppercut??

[ICB]

Barker was winning the round clearly until last 30 seconds.

[InTheNeutralCorner]

There was a moment in that 9th round after the accidental headbutt that after the referee told both fighters to fight, even when they had the opportunity, none of them threw a sucker punch.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Wow, I don't think ANYONE saw that right hand coming!

[armin]

All that just became mute and I guess those arm punches must have had an effect after all.

[Spicoli]

7th was a re assertion round for Martinez. He started to step into him with combos for first time

The hands at the knees drives me fooking nuts

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Good round for Barker the Winky Wright defensive style is working a treat.

He's not giving him a thing ay... Giving a very good account of himself.
