    Who takes this fight?

    I think it would be an all out war really...Both fighters have very fan friendly styles.

    Both are good sized MW's.

    Who takes it?:think

    If Barker has a bit more pop in his punches he'd be favourite but I can't seem him keeping Macklin off him. He'd be outworked and stopped by Macklin imo. It's a brilliant fight and I really hope it comes off.

    I think Macklin eventually wears him out and stops him very late on

    Barker takes it with his straight punches.

    Be a good fight. Macklin on points for me but i like Barker and he did well against Martinez. Throw Martin Murray into the mix too and of course Andy Lee who i think is the best out of those four

    bump...does this fight have no interest?

    I think it would be great for an HBO Boxing After Dark card...

    Yea both are world class and in their primes. Showed alot of heart vs Maravilla. I think it would have alot of interest especially in Europe. Good English-Irish rivalry, I wouldn't rule out a draw... That is if fair judging is in effect.
