    Oh yeah i love martinez, but just because a guy has never been in with the better guys does not always mean he was be shown up, maybe hes had bad luck, crap manager to get him the fights etc. Any way id be surprised if he does pull it off, but hope he can

    I'm not blaming Barker Joe, just pointing out that the big step up is another problem he faces in this fight. He's not really been fighting at the sharp end of world class prior to Saturdays fight, I think a fight or 2 at that level before Martinez might have helped him.

    Then again, he could have lost them and the title challenge would have gone begging at the age of 29/30 which would be long way back.

    I'm sure he was decent maybe 18 months ago, now I think he just says things for clicks.

    He says if he had to make one bet he would bet on Martinez to stop Barker late, but as a gambler 7-1 for Barker to win is just too good to turn down.

    also says he rates Barker above Maklin or Strum.

    Really nothing too crazy.

    Dwyer was pretty good a few years ago, he has been awful with predictions in the last 18-24 months. Barker hasn't got a chance but I'll watch for the pretty good Andy Lee vs Brian Vera fight and to see a pretty nice KO for Sexy Sergio.

    The odds are very fair and they are a long shot. That's just throwing your money away. Just because Darren's a nice bloke doesn't mean he's ready for Martinez.
