Barker - Pirog ?

Martinez is clearly the man.

And I would back Barker for a clear points win over the decent but sometyimes overated Pirog!!!

Darren has the skills to pay the bills!!!

 

Pirog - easy victory.

 

Pirog by knockout.

 

At middleweight it goes sort of;

Martinez

Then about 10 other world contender level fighters

And another 5 or so underneath them

So to be honest, it would be better for Martinez and everyone else in the division IMO if Martinez moved back to 154. They're are bigger, more intriguing fights for him there and in turn this would make middlewight 1 of the most competitive divisions in the sport. Any of them top 10 or so could force their way to no.1 spot in the division

 

Why? Martinez will get beaten this year. Hell, I very seriously think Macklin will beat him.

 

I completely disagree with you. I can't see any of the current middleweight crop beating him and certainly in no way Macklin whose style should suit Sergio down to the ground.

 

Pirog will struggle with Barkers Tight guard and neat boxing. If Darren can make it past the 5th he has a good chance. Pirog seems to run out of ideas, very overrated fighter.

 

:rofl:rofl

 

The coward N'jikam just dropped his WBA interm belt rather than fight Golovkin after having avoided him for over 2 years and backed out of a half dozen fights or so. Thank god it's over at least, one less pretender, Sturm next.

Martinez wins all of these hypothetical imaginary title defenses in your mind, no need to prove **** i guess. Forget having fights anymore lets just have this approach for everyone. Martinez, ATG after having defended against 1 MW who arguably wasn't even top 10 and looked like **** while doing so. ****ing joke you are. Martinez too.

 

Care to have a bet on it?

 

Harsh. The rest is correct though.

 

Martinez doesn't have to fight the best fighters because he'd beat them anyway.

 

I like this fight.

 

Pirog for me...too strong

 

Barker held his own with the best in the division.

Pirog knocked out an unbeaten prospect.
