Sky Sports- Darren Barker v Felix Sturm - SATURDAY NIGHT CHAT THREAD

[Violent Demise]

Talk about crashing and burning. Strum destroyed him

[IamInuit]

Perfect game plan by Sturm. The Barker team planned around their fast start, not his.

[JohnnyKickAss]

Apparently there is a rematch clause...Sturm must defend in England in a few month...

While I'm not sure barker excersises the clause if its a big injury he might just say fuck it but I hope barker takes it and sturm goes thru with it, might open up sturm to have a fight or two overseas again.

Barker lacks robustness, I've always felt he was a bit fragile well he got a good pay day
and he cannot complain, he lost fair and square GGG anyone.

id like to see it and have always liked to see sturm fight but I think he wants no part of ggg.

[ruthless rocco]

barker might as well fall down again in england to cushion his retirement... buy himself a new hip or two!

[Fenster]

What a surprise!!! He got his million quid retirement payday and went out injured

[Fenster]

That rematch clause was always nonsense. AS if they're gonna sell Sturm-Barker 2 after that. AS if Sturm was ever going to London to defend the title if he won.

Barker will retire now. Bet on it.

That's the thing that bothers me about Sturm. I honestly don't think he's ever gotten a true gift, hes had some close ones go for him and some go against him recently, but I always wonder how his career would have been different if he got the decision against oscar, he probably wouldn't be so averse to traveling.

I'm not insulting Sturm. I'm just saying the way this business works there was never gonna be a rematch. That was all complete bollocks. Just like Bute-Froch.

I backed Sturm to KO him.

it really depends how he wins. If its a close SD then yes there would have been a rematch. But like the Bute rematch, there is no need now.

Nice shout. I backed Sturm round 7-12 at 12/1, Thought Barker would last a bit longer

Most of these rematch clauses are a load of shit. Sturm was the challenger but had the clout to force them over to Germany. There's no way in a million years he was ever stepping foot in England as the champion.

Sturm rounds 7-12 was my main bet too, but also had a saver straight KO.
