    I guess improve his tactics then.
    But I doubt he can recover in time for next year with a dislocated hip...well at least for the first half of the year[/QUOTE]

    Yeah I agree, those tactics were all wrong, he was ducking low up close aswell and sturm was catching him near the ear, should have boxed though.

      I don't think he gave Sturm any respect because he thought he was old and past it....I did too

        He won't fight again. Career ending injury.

        I bet frank warren is chuckling again.

          The hip is going to get used as an excuse. Barker was getting rocked all over the shop before his hip went

            His hip went with the second KD though, didn't it?
            That's pretty much at the end

              Unfortunately, this is true.

              Sturm hurt him several times. Darren had several opportunities to get on his bike.

                  It doesn't look like he will fight again.

                    As I said before the fight Barker isn't fit to shine Sturm's bootlaces and I have been proven entirely right. It would be an embarassment if Barker tried to invoke a rematch clause after that drubbing. He should go back to fighting journeyman British fighters on home soil like all limey fighters are only good for.

                      Oh wow... he's retiring?

                      It's tough and sucks for Barker.... but if the hip's a recurring problem, it's probably for the best. He could probably come back from it, but give it a lot of time to fix and heal
