    Barker fights like a man but gets stopped around the 7th

    This is Sergio Martinez. We are talking P4P level.

    nah darren is barking up the wrong tree here (sorry :lol:)

    martinez is a few levels above but this would be such a huge upset I'm not even sure people would regard barker as the real MW champ if he won this fight.

    this, around 7th or 8th rounds Barker gets stopped. Ill be rooting for him though. He will give it his all anyways, and his stock can only rise of he gives a good performance.

    I wish him all the best I really do, but I think it will end Inside 5 rounds.

    Darren is a great guy but he's getting a severe leathering from Martinez

    Barker is getting knocked out/stopped, lets not kid around here. The only question i have is which round does the fight end?.

    I hope Barker is getting paid great money, otherwise he has made a big mistake in taking this fight.

    he'll put up a decent effort but he WILL fall short

    i agree that martinez doesn't have many fights left but he's not going to lose this one

    I go 80% Martinez 20% Barker, Barker is a great guy and a good all round boxer. He may last it out but get the decision no. Barker`s gotta use his reach advantage jab jab right hand and back off and then go back,keep the footwork going but not too much that it tires him out. I`d advise him no up close stuff as Martinez will catch him Bigtime!

    Barker can give Martinez problems imo. Dont think Darren will get stopped like most do.

    Dzinzirik wobbled Martinez and he isn't a big puncher.
