    96-94; 97-94; 99-91

    these were the scorecards of the judges last night, i think the 99-91 card looks a bit off

    99-91? who was the judge, Sergios mum? 96-94 most accurately reflects reality.

    Think the 96-94 is more like it

    I could see 99-91 or 97-94 certainly more accurate than Sky Sports had it over here.

    Barker was an unknown fighter from the UK while Martinez is a HBO product

    they were fighting in a city with an established boxing scene

    not surprising there was a fixed judge put in place

    Barker won 3 rounds. 99-91 is too wide, 96-94 is a lil'too close but acceptable. I had it 97-94 myself. None of this matters of course as Barker got KTFO.

    Alejandro Rochin Mapula, other than alvarez vs gomez doesnt have a lot of experience of high level fights i think.
    I think was a case of scoring in favour of who looked good rather than who was being effective

    Wow so Barker gave Martinez a tough fight. Barker - Macklin will be next after a warm for each probably.

    How did Lederman score the fight? And how did Sky Sports UK have it?

    sky sports had it 58-57 at one point i think in favour of barker, i think there was no more than 1 maybe 2 rounds in it at the end

    I think Sky had it 96-94 (Martinez) or 95-95, it wasn't until round 8 that Jim Watt piped in with "Maybe he isn't doing enough to win any of these rounds"

    I think it sounds like Barker did well for a first mega fight. He's only had 23 bouts and he gave an improving Martinez a tougher fight than most rival champs would imo.

    This does however prove Martinez is no Calzaghe.

    Barker done himself no harm at all will benifit from it he now knows he can go in there with the top fighters in the division and hold his own a good domestic fight with macklin then if he comes threw that one go for martinez again

    i would say that was one of martinez's toughest fights, and considering he's only had two fights above british level, i would expect to see him take a portion of the middleweight title at some point.
