    Haven't seem enough of proksa so I find it unpredictable. He is a bit small for 160 but seems to have power. Won't be betting on this one unless there are extremely good odds.

    Ive seen every single Proksa fight to date, i never seen this Barker guy tho. But by looking at his opponents hes beaten he seems like hes pretty good fighter.

    A lot better than Proska's.

    If I were Proska's management, I'd worry about the fact that he hasn't gone longer than 6 rounds in three years and try to get him a 10 round fight against someone with a beard before putting him in a title fight.

    12 rounds.

    edit: misread. Proksa waited too long. It is make or break.

    Barkers opposition was definitely better, but still on a local scale.
    This should be a tough fight. Barker is solid, I give credit where its due, unlike Mr Barry Blue Balls.

    It's on Sky the main event is Lee McCallister defending his commonwealth title against Samuel Amoako. Poor main event but this saves that show with a terrific supporting event hopefully they stick on a few decent undercard fights.

    Proksa is a good little fighter seen him a box a few times havnt seen much of the other lad so couldnt make a prediction but Proksa is very good at what he does but hasnt fort anybody that decent.
