    **** you, you absolute ****. I would love to break your glass jaw. Of course the hip had an affect. He would have put up a better effort.

    To be honest Barker looked like he was hurt pretty badly from a left hook I think in the first round. He does not have the best of chins as he was also hurt by Geale a few times who does not hit as hard as Sturm.

    What is wrong with people here? The guy had a second coming into his career due to a hip injury. Watch him go down and try to stay up, his hip has dislocated and he can't move for ****. He lost due to an past, ongoing injury not by a rubbish performance.

    Oh im the mechanical genius :good but i blow hot and cold

    Fair enough , i respect your decision , i do think you were a bit harsh on Barker in your opening post , but as they say opinions are like A-holes everyones got one , you could pm me your name , i wont reveal it , just interested.

    Cheers

    Stuart

    The 3 Brits, who are natural big middleweights, all giving the aging, injury prone and much smaller Martinez a good fight has lead to them being overrated.

    Macklin, Barker and Murray are decent but not world class fighters.

    In what way ? He fought the wrong fight? The first round was very exciting not his style. It happens is boxing.

    Sturm was on form. No matter how barker fought he would have lost. Sturm is just the better fighter

    I feel for Barker. Injuries can be horrible obstacles, especially in a combat sport like boxing. Barker seems like a decent human being who accomplished more than most of us could ever dream.

    Best of luck to him!
