What a BS call for the KO win. You can clearly see him stop defending.
IS that the same Barker who fought Sergio Martinez?
SexySame one
Think so?
When Barker gets back up Samuel throws another punch.
After Samuel throws a follow up punch he then stops as the ref puts his hand on him with the command to stop boxing. It was just a bit of a freak event but Barker punched after the referee had stepped in. Should have been a DQ not a KO
Definitely.
It should have been a DQ. I just meant that I can understand why Barker would throw right away.
I'd rather see a NC. To put a loss on Barkers record because he was caught in the moment feels wrong to me. That didn't look like a deliberate foul. He stood up, got popped, jumped back, and as soon as his feet land he launches the hook.
In a case like this I don't really see either guy at fault. Just NC the whole thing and do it again if they want imo.
