    Selkirk coming up on BN. Be good to see him back in action. His career has badly fallen away..

    Champion raises some guys and Smith seemed to be full of confidence there.

    WAR BARKER!.

    Barker to win on points IMO. Key is take away Sturm's jab with side steps and half steps back and lead off as Sturm rarely counterpunches. Invest in the body early and work around the sides when Sturm shells up and pivot off work and keep Sturm turning into punches.

    Barker's skills and international AM experience will take this.

    Commentary once again so negative, so over the top. I sense this is Watt thinking about bad judging and Barker having to do really well to win. Relax a bit Jim..

    Sturm round, Barker hit with to many straight leads. He needs to tighten up and move a little more. Good body work though, smart!.

    Barker was beaten by better man. I don't buy the hip. The first punch was beginning of the end.

    He created own problems by staying inside for to long with a loose guard.

    Well done Sturm. Rematch?. I don't see a point..

    Barker far too open at the top level. Non-existent jab.

    Shame if his hip has gone again though.
