Barker vs Martinez, how did your card look?

[Matias64]

1 or 2 rounds really guys ? Barker was blocking most of Martinez's punches. And was landing accurate jabs and right hands, Martinez looked puzzled and didn't really do much except drop his hands and allow Barker to come forward and hit him.

Barker easily won 4 rounds i don't understand all this talk of 1 or 2 rounds, Martinez done nothing in the 1st half of the fight really. And its only because Barker has suspect stamina that Martinez was able to comeback in the fight, because Barker's guard loosened and stopped throwing punches.

I don't blame you using british goggles. Barker was blocking most of the punches? Sure. But too many found their way to his head and ear. Even before round ten and eleven.

Nothing to do with being biased im not really a fan of Barker, i just fail to see what Martinez done in the 1st half that makes the fight ridiculously wide. Like you guys are saying because i didn't see it that way at all. I see Barker landing the clean punches and Martinez just looking at Barker, and dropping his hands and having his punches mostly blocked.

In Ice's defense, I've never known him to be biased towards British fighters.

I was half-watching the fight on a shitty stream in between rounds of the Marquez fight and from what I saw Barker was giving Martinez all he could handle early on.

I have nothing but respect for Barkers early showing but he didn't just wilt on his own. He wilted because Martinez made adjustments and found another gear.

I really don't get much of the debate on rounds in a fight that did afterall end in a clear KO! Ya came to fight, well done, we get it.

Seriously, so Barker won a few rounds, bloodied Martinez nose and made the fight competitive. The bottom line is, Barker was clearly losing the fight going into the 11th round and then got KTFO. So where's the fucking argument? Ans: there really isn't one.

Martinez won a tougher then expected fight, by KO, end of story.
