Barker will probably wipe the floor with Sturm - and the odds aren't bad either

    This ^. Things seemed to swing away from Sturm in the aftermath of the Macklin robbery. I wouldn't be surprised if we see decent scoring (wouldn't be surprised with a German decision either tho).

    I would have put the odds around Barker -150. Would be nice if vbookie had this one.

    Barker seems like an amiable enough chap, but I am not surprised that he got smoked.

    What was laughable, however, was the legion of Kool Aid drinking, **** for brains Brits who believed that ANY of the current crop of British MWs could have held a f**king candle to a prime Pavlik.

    You think Barker and Eddie Hearn took a dive for the Germans?

    I put an accumulator on for Sturm win, Trout win, Alexander win and Malinaggi win. I hadn't seen all that much of Lara so I flipped a coin to pick that one and having not seen Shawn Porter I thought that was a formality lesson learned.

    I don't know who said that but personally I think they all get beat convincingly. I would say Macklin is the best of our current crop and he got beat by Martinez and I would say a prime Martinez and a prime Pavlick are a similar level.

    Murray was just lucky that he was against a faded Martinez, who picked up an injury and that the ring was slippy which did not suit Martinez and it was still a close fight.

    People forget that Pavlick beat the same Taylor twice that Froch gets so much credit for beating and he also completely destroyed tough guys like Rubio and Lockett but unfortunetly he wasn't at the top for long.
