Maybe I just expected too much from Martinez. I expected a one sided beat down, but although we saw it to some degree, there were far too many rounds won by Barker, won by a fighter not really in the same league.

I do think that this maybe down to the fact Martinez expected an easy night, hence the hands by his waist taunting from the very first round. But for rounds 4,5,6, he looked lost. He didn't look like he could work out how to land a shot and seemed to be tired and shocked by the fact his nose was gushing blood.

Fair play to him for turning it around, but maybe it's just that Floyd and Manny are just that much better we/ I expect too much from the 3rd place fighter. I expect it to be completely one sided, maybe a couple moments of doubt, but not a third of the fight wondering if he is going to win.

I'm not saying that Martinez is shit or that he didn't do well and deserve that win. But I just don't feel like he is the third best fighter on the planet.

But then like Bilbo says, who else could you put there?

Maybe I'm just over critical
