Super Saturday: Fight Night Discussion Thread

Possibly with adrenaline. I know a lad at the school i work at broke his pelvis at sports day but still finished the race 3rd .

 

Ok bro :good.

 

I didn't think i'd sit here calling Darren Barker a world champion a while back after what he went through.

I was so chuffed for him and still am. This hurts because i know he's better then that but small details and Sturm knows himself and doesn't give you easy work and that's what Darren did he gave Felix openings without him even creating them.

Felix was clinical tonight!.

Fighting away from home was always gonna be tough. But not that tough. As for Hearn well i think he will regret having this away no matter how much money they put on table.

The big money fights with Murray and Macklin gone IMO. Barker will be finished. He was gonna retire before and with this injury he will..

 

I agree with him when he says he has to look out for fighters financial welfare but in reality your right. He's now lost out on further earnings against Macklin and Murray.

Although i kinda feel Eddie knew Barker wouldn't be champion for that long.

This is why Frank didn't let his champions go abroad without a damn fight.

 

Nah i don't buy that Solaris. I'm not saying it changes tonights result but it does make a difference to a fighters performance at times for various reasons. But i agree Sturm was the better man. But Barker i think was out of his element i think he couldn't believe Sturm's intensity and that's partly because the German crowd was awesome. Sturm fed of that!. But yeah Sturm was superior.

As for Hearn being blamed he runs a business so he has to do best by him and fighter but in a way he may live to regret him accepting this fight away but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

But i agree a rings a ring. A world champ should adapt like Froch has over the years..

 

Nah mate Butler vs Montoya then Ormond vs Derry.
