Barker had already thrown the hit before the ref even put his hand up easier to see if you watch the original video. Audio is also lil bit off in this one. Samuels let his guard down and Barker took the opportunity and floored him. Bang. Quality boxer
protect your self at all times boxers do not enforce the rules , Sameuls obviously thought he hurt Barker worse than he did , Barker kept his wits about him and kept punching like he should do , what was he suppose to do stand up and smile at Sameuls ?
Piss poor reffing and shit sportsmanhip on Barkers part. Samuels clearly relaxed when he heard the ref CLEARLY say "STOP BOXING". Should really have been a DQ.
this boy is notoriously featherfisted..he cannot back off serg with a sledgehammer! props to him for taking it though..most guys like to get in with floyd cos he gives u a luvly paycheck and doesnt really beat u up..floyd is the safest way to make money..a guy who puts it on the line againts real fighters like pac n serg is a warrior
You can knock most anybody out who isn't defending themselves. It's a tough one, but when you're in the mix, the hands fly on autopilot. Can't blame Barker really, but it's a shame for Samuals.
Protect yourself at all times does not mean that you can hit the guy with an illegal punch, the referee said "Stop boxing" then Barker hits him with a shot. It's an illegal punch, all these smart arses who say rules are "protect yourself at all times", its also a "rule obey my commands at all times". I think this should be a No Contest or a disqualification loss for Barker, but to give Barker a 1st round KO victory? This seems to be unfair.
@Balthazar066 In these cases the referee not only has to say "stop boxing" ... you can't control with only words to two adrenalized warriors in the middle of danger fireworks, they're not police dogs... he has to intervene and cross between the fire if necessary to avoid an accident in the ring. Anyway, Barker's punch was legal, since Samuels was behind him to finish him.... interesting match!!
I agree with you that it was a dramatic and interesting finish, but I still think Samuels got the raw end of the deal, its a hard one because I agree that the punch Barker threw was in the heat of the moment, but it was illegal because the ref said "stop boxing". I dont think Barker meant to do anything wrong and its probably the best left hook he's ever thrown!
@Balthazar066 Tho it is kinda unsportsmanlike from both fighters. not as clearly so as with the Mayweather fight but a) Samuels should of stopped punching after Barker clearly touched the canvas and b) well thats pretty obvious, the KO. I'll forgive Barker 100% tho if he somehow KO's Martinez...
cheap shot! cant believe doug fisher said this queff is on the level with JCC jr, maravilla is probably going to knock out barker within the first couple of rounds
Samuels was trying to finish him after barker gloves touched the canvas, and barker caught him with a left hand, samuels left himself wide open, shit happens.
Bad refereeing and cheap shot ala Fraud Gayweather style to Ortiz. His gloves clearly touched the canvas and should've been scored as a knock down then he cheap shots while the ref was to count and KO's the lame boxer with no chin. Injustice and this is the guy who thinks he cam beat Martinez Saturday LMFAO Martinez with the easy KO. Bet Fraud Gayweather won't be there ringside for a Martinez fight lol
@allinonethegreat You have a poor way of seeing things unfold before your eyes! Both of Barkers gloves touched the canvas and the other fighter still went after him! He simply defended himself from a attack to finish him! I dont know wtf you saw!
shut the fuck up Ortiz apologized three times with hugs kisses and touching gloves...floyd touched gloves(which he didnt have to) and knocked that ass out...keep in mind the ref said "Lets go" 8 seconds before floyd hit him.
@allinonethegreat The guy that knocked him down shouldn't have rushed him while he had a knockdown, what did he think, that Barker was not gonna punch back
to be fair samuels threw a shot as barker was just back stood up after touching down. i know the referee is the one who has to say stop boxing but i reckon if samuels had taken a step back instead of continuing the attack then barker would have stopped too and the ref would have had chance to step in. ah well, samuels won't be doing that again!
oh and the reason martinez wont give pirog the time of day is because he was stripped of that belt for no ther reason than top rank wanted to hand it to danny jacobs, but pirog pulled the upset.
The pound for pound fighter Sergio Martinez Fighting guys like this he will never be recognize as a Top fighter...He needs to move with Top Rank or with Golden Boy Promotions to be recognize...........
Barker looks okay but he has barley fought outside of the UK and his previous opponents have been well... the kind of fighters Sergio Martinez sprinkles over his Wheaties every morning. I hope he puts up a good fight though.
barker will probably lose to martinez but i would like him to win from a british point of view. i think he will give all he has because lets face it he is fighting for a world title, martinez is a great boxer but does seem to do the thing over and over again but is very quick with it. if barker can work out how to take martinez out of his game plan he could do it.
@olaff23 explain how people born on one part of lands chins are any diffrent from sombody born a few thousend miles in another direction, 1 mile or 1000000 miles, people are people and are put together the same more or less as far as i can see. People are all unique. I could list many Europeans with good chins ans many Americans with weak chins.
Simple fact is , always protect yourself at all times , he should never let his hands drop like Samuels did ! And barker was just a reaction nothing more
basically: barker touched the canvas with his glove...samuels still went to finish the job with a punch...but barker got a punch in faster KO'd samuels. samuels' shouldn't have thrown a punch after barker's glove knicked the canvas. but the fault really was the ref's for not stepping in quickly enough.
McCrory "and ten the quick reflex left hook comes back"
What a joke - he should have been disqualified. Samuels scores a KD. Ref shouts "stop boxing" - Samuels drops his hands and stops boxing to allow Paris the opportunity to administor the count - then Barker fires a shot at a defensless Sameuls. Paris turns his back and then lifts Barkers arm. It would be hilarious if it wasnt so serious.
@fowler999isgod not a DQ, as Barker didn"t premeditate the punch, it was a reaction. Should of been a no contest! Samuels was unlucky. but Barker didn"t do much wrong. The ref was to slow.
Barker had already thrown the hit before the ref even put his hand up easier to see if you watch the original video. Audio is also lil bit off in this one. Samuels let his guard down and Barker took the opportunity and floored him. Bang. Quality boxer
