Showtime broadcast of Alexander vs Purdy

[lefty]

Did anyone manage to catch it? If so, did you notice that not one of the commentary team Ranello, Al Bernstein or Paulie Malignaggi noticed that it was Darren Barker in Purdy's corner? For that matter they didnt even seem to know who he was even though he's fought Sergio Martinez! I was pretty shocked watching it. That and watching Michael Buffer calling Barker, Darren 'Baker' when he fought Martinez and you come to the conclusion that he's having a bit of a rough time of it in the states.

Buffer calling him Baker was hilarious. I remeber Darren on ringside talking about how he dreamed since he was a little kid of a big world title fight against the champion and the ring announcer, announcing his name... then Buffer goes and ruins his dream by getting his name wrong
