    Actually a lot of people are picking Macklin because of Barkers injuries.

    You hate Darren Barker you always have, I find it pretty sad that you actually hate a guy because people have picked him on forums over Irish fighters, don't deny it.

    Macklin would stop Barker. He would beat Murray and totally **** up Lee

    A brawler who used some nice footwork and feints to give Sergio some real trouble.

    Barker is an absolute sham! He talk's alot of shite and talk's himself up as one of the best in the world. Macklin would tear through him. And Murray.. another sham!

    Good all British fight this, both better than any Irish middleweight by some distance. Macklin wins now though, 12-18 months ago and it would have been 50-50

    Macklin probably stops him late or takes a competitive decision. Barker tends to fade a bit in the later rounds.

    I could see Barker landing a few nice jabs but they would be few and far between not unlike Macklin's fight with Sturm. He'd just out work him.
