Sergio Martinez vs Darren Barker
Date: 01 October 2011
Location: Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States
Title: The Ring Middleweight Championship
Martinez recently defeated Sergiy Dzinziruk by an 8th round stoppage in March, while Barker defeated Domenica Spada in April to capture the vacant European Boxing Union (EBU) middleweight title. Barker has superb boxing skills and maybe even better than Cotto and Chavez Jr. in regards to talent.
The current World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight champion of the diamond queen 2010 Fighter of the Year, and three pound-for-pound elite, Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez returns to the ring October 1 from the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic Historical City, New Jersey. Martinez (02/02/47, 26 KOs) will clash with the undefeated “Dazzling” Darren Barker (23-0, 14 KOs), the über popular product in London, England, and the current European champions.
