Get him him the WBC belt. :confUgh.
He'll fucking savage him. What's the point?
I thought Barker fought a decent fight against Sergio. I had it 95-95 at the time of the stoppage myself.Ultimately I think Rees gets outclassed in a way similar to Barker against Sexy Serg. Broner is the truth and will probably win nearly every round before stopping Rees around 8/9 IMO. But I don't think Rees will embarrass himself or look out of his depth at all, and he may get another title shot somewhere down the line after this.
I always disagree with this to be honest. I'll have to go back and watch it again but I thought he was way down on the cards at the time of the stoppage, just didn't lose any rounds big and had his moments and didn't look out his depth. I didn't think it was at all close on the cards, though.I thought Barker fought a decent fight against Sergio. I had it 95-95 at the time of the stoppage myself.
I know that Sergio was dominating the pace and the tempo, and was throwing a lot more than Barker, but I felt that Barker in some rounds was landing punches more cleanly. Even if it was just a jab he'd connect more cleanly than Martinez who was hitting Barker's arms and gloves with most shots.I always disagree with this to be honest.

He had a perforated eardrum, he wasn't 'knocked out' really, he just essentially quit on the canvas.I saw Barker on the canvas knocked out, myself. Same with Macklin, same with Williams.
I never feel Martinez got any credit for his Macklin/Barker wins, which to me were impressive. Came on strong later on and blasted them. Terrific fighter.
Didn't see him beat the count, and it was because of a punch, so yeah... kind of a knockout when you think about it.He had a perforated eardrum, he wasn't 'knocked out' really, he just essentially quit on the canvas.
It doesn't take anything away from his performance until then I don't think.
Maybe we have different interpretations of what 'knocked out' means. Technically yes, of course he was.Didn't see him beat the count, and it was because of a punch, so yeah... kind of a knockout when you think about it.
This.I've always thought Barker took at least three/four rounds against Martinez. I dunno if people have marks against him for having what's perceived as a negative gameplan or something, but in my opinion there were a few rounds wherein Barker would land 5/6/7/whatever clean, effective straight punches while Martinez would spend the entire three minutes slapping Barker's guard. Actually landing > work-rate, for me. That said I had Martinez winning the fight, but I agree with what Sports says for the most part.
Do you know something we don't Vano? :heyI don't think Burns' decision is entirely about money. I expect it will come to light sooner rather than later.
I'm glad Rees has stepped up. Good fight for him money wise I suspect.
I've been told a few things that may or may not be true. If true, it'll come to light very soonDo you know something we don't Vano? :hey
Interesting, I would like to know more but I can understand the fear of a lawsuit may put you off.I've been told a few things that may or may not be true. If true, it'll come to light very soon
