Rees/Matthews, Cunningham/Hernandez, Martinez/Barker & Nishioka/Marquez RbR!!

How did you see the Cunningham/Hernandez and Barker/Martinez fights (score wise) before they ended?

And did anyone see the full Campillo fight? . I only caught the last 6 myself, and I thought the bald man won most of them fairly clearly. I can't imagine that Murat would have won a significant number of the early rounds if I'm honest.

 

Campillo took 7/8 in a row at one point for me. At least this time around he didn't get a loss on his record, unlike the Shunenov rematch and the first Murat fight

 

I had a feeling that fight was gonna be a draw. I wish there were odds on it.

 

Had Barker winning 3 rounds IIRC, but didn't really score it.

Didn't see the whole Cunningham fight but knockdown aside, I felt Cunningham was probably edging it (saw the kd on a reply later IIRC, just saw 3 rounds, was on TV in Amsterdam, but was quite wrecked so only really remember Cunningham looking sloppy as ever at the end ;-)

Campillo just keeps getting robbed :-(

Sillakh Vs Campillo is the fight I wanna' see more than anything, more than Pac Vs Floyd or Khan Vs Bradley or Maidana Vs Matthyse or Wlad Vs Helenius or Big Larry O' Vs David Price :deal

 

Didn't know you were in weed country. Surprised you even got round to seeing the fights.

Sillakh/Campillo would be great. It's the Black Russians to lose though IMO.

 

nice touch by Roman Gonzalaz making sure Soto was ok and help him up before he celebrated :good

 

Rumours going round that Rees doesn't want the rematch
and that he is moving down to super-feather.

 

If I was Campillo I'd be wondering if it was all worth it.:-(

 

Giving Barker more than three rounds (even that, in fact) is giving him way too much credit for isolated spots of success.

 

I gave him three. Any round that wasn't a clear one to Martinez was a difficult one to score, because you had one who threw next to nothing but was able to land occasionally when he did let go, and another who threw in abundance, but landed sparingly, hitting mostly gloves.

 

Fair play to Barker, but even though he did something that I never imagined him doing, he still didn't look very good at all. That's terrible to say I know because he showed massive balls giving even that kind of effort, but....no, not for me.

 

I just scored on landing punches. If that's wrong, then it's wrong, but that's just the way I score rounds.

I saw Barker landing shots, and Sergio hitting glove. So I gave the guy who I saw landing shots the round. I don't think Martinez landed enough of his own shots to the gloves to cancel out Barker's scoring shots. Sergio didn't seem to throw that much really. If it had been a Pacquiao/Clottey scenario, where one guy threw in total volume and the other just covered up, then I could understand some of the things being said, but there wasn't that much of a disparity between how much the 2 were throwing IMO. I also think Barker's covering up was more an effective defensive manouver than him simply fighting negatively. It seemed to nullify Sergio's work well enough from what I saw, Martinez hardly landed many clean shots at all, and when do we ever see that?

When Barker lost the snap on his jab, and tired out a bit is when Sergio started to win rounds and wear Barker down.

 

3 rounds is the max that I can give Barker. Good performance and remained competitive for much of the fight. Good luck to him in the future

 

Excuse me mate, who is the painting in your avvy by? It's brilliant.

 

I agree,i saw it the same.I thougt Barker did much better them most are saying.
