    Cant remember saying that myself, could be wrong however. Barker is a little better than Casey, that fight was always a case of the lamb going to slaughter, alot of people wanted to see Casey do well (myself included) but he was there to make Rigo look spectacular. It felt as if the gap between the levels of the two were just too wide for the fight to legitimate. Barker has enough class to hang around for a while but i can not see him winning, Sergio holds every conceivable advantage possible, Barker will be more fleet footed than Sergio's last opponent, so should keep out of danger for a while at least.

    The contracts were supposed to be signed for this yesterday but rumours are surfacing that a fight against Sebastian Sylvester is now being mooted.

    Yes - Sylvester has become Barker's mandatory so if the Martinez fight falls through, the EBU want the fight to happen.

    Not sure if there's anything to this but check this out:
