    Its a great crossroads fight bit like Mcewan vs Lee , one guy will get noticed as contender and the other will step a big step back.

    Spada isnt a big puncher but he does throw big numbers and is well accustomed to going the full 12 rounds.

    A big test for Barker.

    yeh good test for Barker. Winner will go top 15 in the world.

    I fancy Barker by a wide UD. 10-2 something like that.

    Very tough fight for Barker. I think he has a bit too much for Spada but Spada is an excellent 12 round fighter so I think he could take a very tight decision, possibly SD

    I think this will be an extremely close fight Spada is no joke and Barker is pretty much unproven at this level. Barker will be rusty as well he has been out for a long time and injuries inbetween that. Lets see what Barker is really made of. I can see Barker winning but maybe by only a round or two possibly and SD

    Barker just about gets by by the skin of his teeth a la Belghecham.

    Depends how Barker fights. Could easily lose if he fights like a spaz again.

    Barker should be able to comfortably out box him but he needs to be in good shape, as if he tires badly he could be in trouble!!!

    I've got Barker in a close, controversial SD.

    Every close fight in Britain seems to split the judges these days :yep
