Macklin v Barkers on

No wasn't impressed to be honest. I did wonder if Macklin let himself go in build up once he knew Barker wasn't his opponent. Other then that he wasn't impressive i agree.

 

Has Barker Vs Macklin been re-arranged then?

 

so is the fight happening then???

heard Barkers injury will keep him out until next year.

 

When Barker v Macklin finally get it on I have Barker winning this on points by a decent margin...:yep

 

Me too. Macklin was very poor on the mag7 bill. But I have always thought it's a comfortable points win for Barker!!!

 

Yeah but one poor performance isn't a whole career. Didn't Barker apprently look crap in his last fight?

 

Barker was not on top form last time out either...:yep

As the saying goes that styles make fights and I think that as long as Barker does not drawn in to fight Macklin's fight, he has the boxing brain and condition to win this fight on a decent points margin...:yep

I think he will box Macklin on the outside and counter him everytime he goes to load up...:yep

 

So is it on or not?

 

What the hell is this thread about, is there news on the fight or what?

 

Most frustrating thread title ever

 

There's this news. It doesn't say anything about Barker's current condition though.

so bascially theres no news......
from what i understand barkers inury is pretty serious!

 

yeh that news means nothing Barker was always going to be mandatory. Barker might not be ready and Macklin might give up the belt.

I think Barker wins but neither win a world title.

 

Macklin is another one of those who fights down to the level of his opponent.

I can't really see Macklin waiting around for Barker tbh.
