damn, I missed it. I heard Cunningham got like a 15 second count in the first round though. Also read Campillo was robbed yet again on the same card. Business as usual in Germany!

also heard Grzegorz Proksa looked awesome I need to download this card.

Yeah Cunningham got dropped in the first, was wobbled pretty bad, he got up at 8. He came back strong after that tho with great body shots, they had a clash of heads in the second and he was doin good up till the 6th but his opponents corner found away out of a hard fight. Should be a rematch

is it me, or was that martinez fight fixed?
weird way for Barker to be ko'd but wasn't fixed. He fought as good of a fight as he could against Martinez but Martinez is superb at not letting people land many punches on him and countering the fuck outta his opponents. Noone wants to fight Martinez

i noticed martinez didn't want none of bernard hopkins though. like they said he's kinda at a tough spot if he's looking for big money - floyd/pacquiao are too small and he's not willing to go up to fight the bigger guys like hopkins or the ward/froch winner. So the best he can get as far as money goes is hope for chavez jr. or maybe someone at 154 but I doubt he gets those guys either. Lots of guys at 160 willing to fight him but they aren't money fights.

anyways, barker did way better than i expected he had a good game plan just couldn't let his hands go enough, blooded up sergio's nose a bit but just outclassed in the end. wasn't fixed I think he took so many shots in the last couple rounds he was hurt and probably just said fuck it, i'm done. I noticed a couple rounds before he said to his trainer "my elbow's fucked!" like he was already looking for a way out. Good scrap though.

a little boxing factoid - timothy bradley beat down darren barker in the amateurs. I wonder how old they were. Barker looked like a pretty damn big middlweight tonight.

oh I forgot to say...if margarito beats cotto in december that's a nice payday for him right there and a chance to avenge his loss to him 10 years ago. that's a real possibility.

He's said before that his walk around weight is 165 between fights and the people that I know that have met him in the last year and a half say he's not a very big guy by any means. Not sure where you're getting the 200lb thing from. And even if that were the case, Hatton walked around at 190 and fought at 140. Just because someone walks around at that weight doesn't mean they'd have a chance to be competitive at that weight.

I was a bit off on the weight but I swear I saw that posted on here, he walks around at like 175+. Anyways its funny he's so willing to fight Mayweather cuz hes got a significant size advantage yet ain't willing to go up in weight at all. He could easily fight someone like Ward but at willing to take the risk

he was walking around 190 but I think he's slimming down and he's going to leave 160 and go back to 154. He only rehydrated to 165 last night whereas before he was rehydrating to 170 or more.

I actually thought he was interested in fighting hopkins for the same reason kelly pavlik did - money. Also his manager said two days ago "in 15 days will announce a huge fight for martinez" and hopkins fights in 15 days, but I guess that's not it. So I don't know what he's talking about now, I doubt it's mayweather. Maybe felix sturm idk.
