Will Sergio Martinez dominate Barker as easily as he did Dzinziruk?

Barker has decent fundamentals and a good defense, so while he may not literally be on Dzinziruk's level, his style may suit him to perform a bit better, or a bit worse. But considering Martinez's abilities, the difference won't be that huge, IMO.

 

I dont think he will score as many knockdowns but he will batter Barker.

 

KO by Martinez. 4th round

 

Martinez stops him between the 9th and the 11th. A catchy one for the under/over IMO as we don't know how aggressive Barker plans on being. An aggressive Barker could even be knocked out around the 6th/7th.

 

Barker is a decent middleweight who is not spectacular in any one department. I'm expecting Sergio to stop Darren around round 10 or 11. If Barker lasts the distance, you'd have to say he's done pretty well.

 

I think Dzinziruk is better than Barker, so it's hard to imagine that Martinez won't.

 

it will be close with Barker landing the cleaner punches and alot of rounds could be scored for either. Martinez will struggle until he lands a KO.

 

:good 10 out of 10 for this prediction
