    To static. He shows pretty good mobility when he uses it, aswell, as he is now. But he's been hurt unneccesarily to the body. One thing, I think that this is a really tough fight for him in terms of styles. He's showing good stamina and his legs still look good. Plus, he's under serious pyschological pressure, and although he looks a bit rattled, he still seems organised. Cards might be interesting.

    barker has gassed his arms out. He's not no pop left in his punches. This could be close at the end.

    The french kid has won the second half of this fight for me. If he had power I think he would have stopped Barker.

    HORRIBLE card. But if a guy is in agreement with the other two judges, **** it. I'm sick of the hysteria over wide cards in a case where the judge got the winner right. Not that you're being hysterical (though that is a lot of question marks), just more generally.

    Barker was lucky there. Completely gassed himself out. I think he thought the French bloke would be out of there early on. Good fight.

    I had Barker winning by a couple of rounds. He won the first 6 and nicked one or two in the second half of the fight

    Enjoyable fight although Barker has some improving to do.

    The other geezer would be a nightmare for most boxers

    No.

    You having a laugh if I you think I though that in the first place. I just like winding up the Irish as they are too patriotic for their own good. Barker would definitely beat Lee though, I'm 100% convinced of that.
