Barker willing to face Andy Lee in Ireland later this year.

Now Rob


Dont be starting your numbers games' or else il private message DFTaylor and tell him about it.

It would be ridiculous if it DIDNT make more money in London. Ireland is a country with half the population of London and theres stacks of irish there to buy tickets as well as Barker fans

 

imo there's a small chance andy lee overlooks fitzey in a couple of weeks, he will at least make it an uncomfortable night for lee.

 

you're not taking the pitch in croker into account it could do 110,000 easily...

 

great fight, it would be brilliant if this was made!

 

Darren Barker is another over-rated Brit boxer.

 

that fight would make sense.

didnt Eddie Hearn tweet recently enough that he was planning on putting a show on in the south of Ireland.

i know John Ryders father is irish as well. So id imagine he'd put him onto the card also.

Personally, id love some proper big time boxing to be back in Ireland. Since the heady days of Bernard Dunne its gotten very quite over here.

 

Who, at the very least, hasn't lost to Brian ****ing Vera!

 

:good

 

Andy Lee is way more over-rated than Barker

 

I sensed it!

 

He's better than any irish boxer by quite some margin. And he'd batter Andy Lee.

 

Well ill guess we`ll find out after this fight is made

 

Pick em fight, maybe Barker just

 

Good fight (if it ever happens) Its about time some of the top middleweights in Eire and UK locked horns. Think most fans are getting fed up of these lads ignoring eachother. 50/50 conteset. Macklin fights and stops the winner

 

Barker should win, barring Lee landing a knockout punch. That's possible.

But skills wise, as a professional Barker is a lot more impressive. He puts his punches together more fluidly, Lee is incredibly stiff and throws everything off his jab. Has no defence except for legs.
