Good effort Darren barker!

[ElTerribleMorales]

Barker dominated rounds 4 and 5. Pretty much from when he popped Martinez nose he had almost 4 rounds of being on top and Martinez just couldn't hit him.

It's a real shame he tired in the 10th and wa hanging for the KO in the next round.

the only time the word "dominated" and the name Barker should be used in describing this fight is when saying Martinez dominated Barker even after having a bit of a puzzled moment in the early rounds, Martinez up to around the 4th or 5th round was just trying to land up top, he saw that didn't work then he started landing hard straight lefts to the pit of Barker's stomach, most the jabs that Barker would land after words had most the power taken out of them by Martinez slipping and taking them on his forehead, fact is the smaller shorter man struggled for 2 rounds out of 11, he was puzzled for about 3 rounds then systematically broke down his opponent rocking him a couple times along the way, everyone saying he's overrated is either blind or on some crack, cause I didn't see anything on Saturday that made me think that Martinez can't beat the likes of Cotto, Margarito, Mayweather, or Pacquiao

seeing how the only thing that gave him problems was Barker's height, range, and good defense, neither of the guys mentioned above have all 3 of those qualities

[Mark TKO]

agreed good disciplined performance but I agree with H and had Martinez about 5-6 up


and i dont honestly think he will make too much of an impact on world stage in future
