Barker had some success early in the fight, landing some jabs and a few straight rights that broke Martinez's nose in the fourth round. But from the fifth round on, Martinez dominated the fight behind three- and four-punch flurries that left Barker covering up for most of the bout.“I knew it would be this kind of fight,” Martinez said through an interpreter. “I planned for this. I always get a second wind. We train for that. It’s part of our game plan going in. We knew we would get stronger as the fight went on. I just kept throwing right hands because I knew sooner or later they would start landing.”
“I’ll fight anybody,” Martinez said, “as long as I can come to a good deal and so can my rival.”
