Darren Barker - Domineco Spada for EBU title

never said he did.

 

reminds me of someone i knw:huh oh yeh andy lee the guy that was fighting 40 year old factory workers:rofl

 

good shout rob, good chance of that happening

 

yes then he fought 40+ yeard old troy lowry who hadn't won a fight in 5 years.

 

so what all fighters fiht someone they're over matched with at some point.
He is fighting mcEwan now who is undefeated and trained by Freddy Roach is that not enough?

 

Barker's career has definitely been a slow burner. Frustrating.

 

agree, i blame hennessy, his career has been similar to murrays, stuck at euro level....needs to sign with warren

 

This is a decent step up for Barker. I expect him to win but it will be his biggest challenge to date. Macklin fighting Winky will be a blessing in disguise for him. He doesn't need to be fighting a tough operator like Macklin after coming back from injury. So in that sense it's good for Barker to face someone like Spada.

To the guy saying Lee is fighting bums, he is fighting someone who is better than anyone Barker has ever faced next. He has just narrowly missed out on a fight with the lineal champ and looks to be in line for a shot very soon, should he keep winning. His career is going places, whilst Barkers is moving at snails pace.

 

:rofl didn't say he IS fighting bums, said he HAS been fighting bums you turd.

 

The good thing is Macklin, Lee, Barker and McEwan are all taking posative steps forward in the next fight.

We will no allot more about each of them by the end of April.

 

There is nothing that says Craig McEwan is necessarily a better fighter than Spada. It's certainly not proven to any degree.

This will be a tough night for Barker, no doubt about that. He's not got the power to cruise through fights like this, against a decent pressure fighter.

 

Did I hurt your feelings? Need a hug?

 

Agree with this. Infact out off McEwan, Spada and Wright Spada is the only one we 100% know what level he is.

 

Brian Vera is better than anyone else Spada has beaten. So, at least at this stage, Craig McEwan is the more proven fighter.
