    Good comeback win for Barker but looked nothing special.

    He has a world title so he's not rated by the EBU.

    Decent win for barker btw, I thought it would have been a lot closer than it ended u being, still think Macklin beats him though.

    I dunno about that. I still think Macklin would beat him. Macklin, for all his flaws, is still a lot better than Spada.

    Don't think he is alot better then spada to be honest, he hasn't proved anything to say he's much better.Macklins last performance was very poor, his power is overrated and has little boxing ability for world level, Barker would have a field day.:thumbsup

    But Spada didn't give Barker any problems whatsoever

    Macklin would of struggled with Spada if he struggled with Varon but that's down to styles and fact Macklin doesn't box as well as Barker. He's be embroiled in mauling and taking shots that he doesn't need to but that's his style and it's worked up till now. He'd not deal with Spada as easily as Barker did but as i said Barkers style suited the job tonight.

    As for Barker vs Macklin...i think Darren wins i think Macklin hasn't shown anything of note since beating Askainen and Barker showed me enough skills tonight to say he's ready to beat him although he'd have to deal with some ruff patches i'm sure.

    Id consider Elcock and Asikainen to be as good as Spada, and they didnt give macklin any problems.
