    According to teampalle.dk, Darren Barker, who has been sparring with Kessler all week, quit his "job" yesterday because Kessler was "too rough". Darren has a tune-up fight next friday he doesn't want to miss, now Kessler has to train with a danish prospect instead on Saturday.

    To make the story even worse Barker was being followed by a danish television crew, apparently the segment will air next Sunday :lol:

    If the kid has a fight comming up, What use is it getting bashed in the Gym by one of the best guys in the world, You have to think of number 1 in this sport and if it is not working and it mite effect your performence In up comming fight, he has done the right thing. Remember this is all about the fight that matters in your career. The one that go's down in the record books not sparring.

    Kessler looks in shape - what a fight we have in prospect.

    Judging by his record on boxrec, Darren Barker is a promising, undefeated, up and coming super middleweight (14-0 with 9 KOs). Kessler will have a harder job making Joe Calzaghe quit.

    Is it me or does the ring in your photo look tiny?

    No big deal . . . the guy is just 14-0. Do you expect this guy to make Kesller surrender?

    Hey dude . . . I'm just being real . . . not being defensive. Making a guy who has merely 14 PRO FIGHTS quit doesn't mean ****. :yep

    I'm picking Kesller to beat Calzaghe . . . just for your info. :hey :bbb

    Barker looks to have a slightly limp handshake, so I'm sure JC will not be overly concerned.

    I like Mikkel. It is a shame someone has to lose.

    This doesn't mean anything in terms of the calzaghe fight, darren barker isn't joe calzaghe and if kessler was being to rough he was being an ass, it's sparing not a fight.

    By the way Darren Barker is ****ing awful. That is harsh but he isn't good enough to give Calzaghe a free blowjob.

    A journeyman had him out with a good punch and some pressure. Kessler would **** HIM UP.

    Kessler is good at having a brawl, ask Mundine.
