    unreal. How can you perform so well and yet go down on a punch that landed off your gloves? Glass chin that is how!

    Looks to me like the guy basically quit off a partially blocked punch and put on a bit of a drama performance on the canvas to try and sell the knockout. If anything he has a glass heart.

    Heart schmart. U try taking punches from an elite fighter for 11 rounds and see if your heart doesn't let you down.

    Barker tends to have poor stamina in later rounds. It was more fatigue that caused him to go down.

    ...Why do I post here anymore. There's just no respect. You've no idea what it's like in a boxing ring, and you've no idea what Darren Barker did to get there, and he did very well against Sergio Martinez. He was taking some big shots from Martinez which obviously were getting through and you question the punch taking out Barker when Martinez has the power to blast Williams into oblivion. It's just not good enough for you people, is it? Sergio Martinez is either overrated and you've always thought that or Darren Barker has a glass chin and a glass heart and he didn't come to fight.

    Just **** this place, man. There's no sense of respect or even knowledge of what the **** it takes to be a boxer and how being in a fight feels. Just idiocy everywhere.

    He was holding his glove against his face, so yeah he blocked it with his glove that was pressed against his head. He took almost full impact to his temple. Give Sergio and Barker respect.

    :lol: Is this serious. The last two rounds he was taking a lot of punishment the right hook before he went down did the damage that one to the ear just sent him down. Barker showed a lot of heart taking the fight where he should of been out classed easily and made it competitive. Good fight from Darren but he was in against a much better fighter tonight.

    he took some flush shots and was actually hurt earlier, but man that right hand that hit off his gloves send him down as if his head exploded.
