    Does Crampton have a chance? Is Barker in good shape for this, physically and mentally? Any pics of the weigh-in? Weights?:D

    Barker didn't look outstanding though. Crampton was a modest puncher and very easy to hit, tough as he was he should not have lasted the distance.

    still not bad considering his lack of activity and experience at 12 rounds.

    it was refreshing that he managed to shutout crampton completely on 2 of the judges scorecards but in the postfight interview he admitted he wasn't happy with his performance.

    he's got a good attitude and will hopefully go far. he's definitely skilled enough.

    Maybe, but I was dissapointed he didn't up the ante and stop him. His corner told him that if he put together a sustained attack for 30 seconds the ref would stop the fight.
    He didn't and now i think he may have given people the impression he is a bit one dimensional and a bit light fisted.

    It did look like he had done enough.
