Not that I'm sayings Barker took a dive.....but c'mon. Barker didn't get hit with a big shot and it was blocked.
The accumulation of damage from the punches that landed cleanly was just too sexy for Barker by the time that right hook came.
accumulation and he got hit behind the ear which misses up your equilibrium. Once he went down, he didn't have it in him to get up
Whatever bro... Imma call a spade a spade and that **** right there was suspect... Accumulation didn't cause Barker to fold up like a lawn chair.
He could have taken a dive when he was rocked twice the previous two rounds with a lot cleaner shots. Basically, stop with the tinfoil hat BS.
martinez outside of being a slick fighter, protects his body real well, doesn't seem like much of a chance to slow him down, the ko can come at any time.
Nothing suspect, he was hurt 2 times and took so many hard punches from good puncher, that resulted in KO. Did i hear right one moron on skysports saying he had Barker slightly ahead midway through the fight??? Barker won 1 round for sure 2 maybe and thats it.
I thought so at first. But, I've seen that behind the ear shot put a few fighters on the canvas. I agree with bbc's assessment as well.
:roll: I mean.... I'm just saying, I've taken shots behind the ear...but you don't fall like that when your equilibrium is effected.. you stagger and your balance is off... barker folded...laid on his back and could have gotten up but "fell" back down as if he didn't want to rise up. Suspect.
