Yes, I had it 8-2 too although I could see 7-3. Barker acquitted himself well though. He should hold his head high. His turtle shell defense was effective against Martinez. Martinez had difficulty countering Barker. The fight changed in my opinion once Martinez started going to the body around Barker's elbows in the middle rounds. I too like Barker's odds against Sturm or Geale right now. In fact, Geale v. Barker would be a very solid middleweight fight.

Needless to say: stand up Dazzling Darren Barker, you did your country proud.

you must have been watching a different fight from everyone else because you're the only one who had him winning more than a maximum of 3 rounds, Martinez the 35 yr old toyed with him and stopped him as he did his other two opponents, he's anything but overrated
