Darren Barker vs Felix Sturm IBF Middleweight title Porsche Arena, Stuttgart Germany. Red Flag! Danger! Warning! Macklin was robbed vs Sturm , Martin Murray was robbed vs Sturm, Ive had enough! The fight is going to go the distance no doubt and the judges are gonna give Sturm every benefit of the doubt. Every close round. Barker will have to dominate the fight to even get a SD. Even when Sturm was beat, mysteriously Sam Soliman failed a drug test. Soliman goes I don't use drugs, took a second test and passed. But the German Commission still left the fight a no contest.
Bull****! Sturm was robbed against Geale & Soliman, also in Australia Soliman is a known drug cheat. A prime Felix Sturm easily handles a bum like Barker but now that Sturm is well passed his best this will be a 50/50 fight.
Darren Barker is a World Champion. Soliman has only failed one drug test his entire career and that was in Germany. Sample B came back clean and Soliman is taking the case to court for him being cheated.
Theres nothing wrong with 'guys like barker' holding a world title. Hes skilled and has guts.... He earned it. Claiming hes a lb for lb fighter..... Yh you would have a point but you dont give anyone fair shakes so bye bye
Murray robbed against Sturm?? that's ridiculous, Sturm won that fight. But they gave it a draw to make up for Macklin.. Sturm got questionable decision losses against Geale and Soliman too recently. Stop blaming Sturm and Germany. You have more chance of winning a decision in Germany than in Britain nowadays.
Are you claiming Barker will get a fair unbiased chance in Germany vs a German hometown fighter? I hope so for once that would be nice. Ain't gonna happen though.
Lately you have less of a chance to get a fair shake in the UK as a foreigner as in Germany imo. Although the Quigg draw might have been an indication they're trying to clean up their act after the crap they pulled recently.
You got there first and said it for me Prowler. Dont hurt your own case by calling Barker a bum though. No boxer deserves it! Credit also to Richel ????? who is also spot on with what he says. Disgusting that Barker has an cast iron Rematch Guarantee. There should be a legal ban on these arrangements. They are a breeding ground for corruption. What if Sturm wins fair and square? Sturm is the most wronged champion around. Dodgy decisions in THREE fights in quick succession, Murray, Geale, Soliman. On top of that his health was arguably put at risk against a drug-enhanced opponent (Soliman)....and now Barker is Guaranteed a rematch???? WTF!!!! Sickening stuff. Hopefully justice will be done. Reckon he beats Barker. Sturm underestimated. Barker unconvincing.
Terry you seem like a decent sensible guy, but do you know what "Xenophobia" is? You are starting to sound a bit silly with this nonsense about Germany=Robbery. Now go back and re-watch Murray v Sturm please. There is no way, repeat - no way, Murray won that fight. Murray was not robbed of a win - Sturm was. Cheers.
Who's robbing who?Barker is getting a **** load of money,so much so that the greedy ******* is more than happy to go fight in Germany. Serves he and Eddie right if they get snookered by the judges.
