By Scott Gilfoid: I had a laugh reading one of Darren Barker’s recent self-promoting quotes about himself at thesun.co.uk this morning where Barker describes his talents as such: “My hands are as quick as his [Sergio Martinez], I am more elusive and bigger in stature than him. I will exploit his weaknesses with my size and just sow him what a quick, tough, powerful middleweight I am.”
Barker vs. Martinez
Sergio Martinez will slaughter Darren Barker tonight – Prediction
By Scott Gilfoid: It’s going to be a long sad plane flight back home for London for Darren Barker (23-0, 14 KO’s) tonight after he gets whipped by WBC Diamond middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (47-2-2, 26 KO’s) on HBO in front of what will hopefully be a large viewing audience.

Barker-Martinez: Is HBO making a huge mistake of televising this fight?
By Scott Gilfoid: Lou Dibella, the promoter for WBC Diamond middleweight champion Sergio Martinez, thinks the media has it wrong to see this Saturday night’s fight between the powerful Martinez vs. the little known European fighter Darren Barker (23-0, 14 KO’s) as a horrible mismatch that’s not worthy of being shown on HBO.
Sergio Martinez: Cotto and Chavez Jr. don’t have the courage to fight me
By Dan Ambrose: World Boxing Council (WBC) Diamond middleweight champion Sergio Martinez is hoping that Antonio Margarito beats WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto on December 3rd in their title fight at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Martinez thinks Cotto is to scared to fight him, but believes that Margarito has the courage to take a fight with him. Margarito stopped Martinez in the 7th round in February 2000. Martinez would love a rematch provided that Margarito beats Cotto in December.

Macklin wants Barker-Martinez winner
By Sean McDaniel: Former EBU middleweight champion Matthew Macklin (28-3, 19 KO’s) will be watching the October 1st fight between WBC Diamond middleweight champion Sergio Martinez and British challenger Darren Barker very closely, because Macklin wants to take on the winner of that fight in early 2012. Macklin suspects that it will be Martinez that emerges the winner of that fight and he’s probably right.
