Really decent little fight this one, They are moving Barclay quick and he has a lovely jab. It's a tough fight to call really, as you say will the experience of Askin be too much. Intriguing that the Barclay team despite him being only 26 are moving him this quick, they clearly fancy the fight.
I watched live askin before christmas against a poor eastern european. Askin didnt look great, but if he fights like he did against ovil then he should be ok
Bookies don't seem to give Barclay much chance 4s with Paddy and 9/2 Corals. Thought the betting would be closer than that to be honest. Barclay was a decent amateur before turning over.
i dont thnk Barclay has matched the expectation of him, i saw him at wolves civic and i thought he looked tidy, decent amateur pedigree, definite risk of an upset but hes probably domestic level at best
