    Agree. A rematch to such a one sided fight. Is that really a fight you can sell?

    I dont know what Barker's gameplan was but he looked incredibly sloppy.

    LMAO!! His Hip??!! I think it was more down to the fact he left himself open like an absolute club level fighter to receive a beating behind the ear.

    Shocking performance. Also the towel comes in when their man is throwing punches back. What's it coming to.

    Barker was just a couple of levels bellow Sturm, I would be a liar if i said that Sturm would win this early, I thought he was going to beat Barker on points. There is no point in a rematch.

    Out of curiosity, how do you feel Sturm will do against an aging Martinez?

    I think that's the end of Darren.

    I think Darren's bought into his ''man strength'' stuff and thought he could bully Sturm. He did hurt Sturm with the uppercut.

    The excuse is his defence was sloppy and his mindset all wrong.

    I think sometimes going for the money is all well and good but in reality fighting a last chance saloon Sturm away was always going to be tough.

    Barker was always fragile but that was really bad lads. Shocked and saddened..

    Seemed to think after winning the world title he was superman. Winning the world title is when the hard work really starts.

    How good does it sound in the arena. R'n'B and Hip Hop all night long. That's the way to do it!!

    Darren still has the domestic fights. Shame a world belt isn't in the mix anymore.

    Feel for Barker.

    Maybe his hip was playing up in training, and led to his overly flat-footed stance from the start?

    Then again, at the top level he can't box at distance anyway. He's a paperweight in terms of strength and presence in there.

    Barker was destroyed... Wanted Barker to win but actually predicted Barker getting stopped.

    Barker will take the rematch for the money but the result will be similar...

    Dislocated hip they are saying on Sky... Can you walk out the ring unaided with a dislocated hip?

    Banging arena man. Loving it!. Proper good atmosphere there.

    As for Barker, I don't think it was just tonight. I remember him vs Hope and Rotolo. He was marching forward i think maybe the injuries have cut down his movement and he's become reliant and over confident in his new found strength.

    His defence was far to loose, you can't sit inside and offer your ear drum. Especially after what happened to it against Martinez.

    Gutted!.
