One of the rare occasions when the fix probably was in, in Germany. Barkers a fool to have taken that fight with a guy like Spurm in Germany., Spurm can't crack a fucking egg and took a lot from Geale and Martinez, now all of a sudden Spurm is hurting him?
You really think the fix was in? Let's not forget that Baker Barker was badly hurt from that Martinez knockout and Geale took a bit out of him too. Some saying that Barker fought the wrong type of fight.
The Martinez KO was in the 11th round. Macklin, a dumb truck, needed 12 rounds of being countered before he was hurt.
I was surprised the Bakerrrrrr camp were treating it so casually. Sturm is no great shakes but he's capable and Barkerrrrrr is pretty average. Didn't see a 2nd round stoppage on the cards though.
what a bad call by his corner to threw in the towel as Barker didn't seemed out to me. Shocking result though, seems kind of flukish as Sturm is usually a soft puncher.
It was a shot above the ear - like Ottke vs. Mundine. So shut up with the plaster stuff. Barker could have fought on but signaled to his corner that his hip was hurt. That being said, I was shocked, too at the result - but Barker seemed fine with taking a million on short night's work. Sturm didn't even have to fix anything.
