    How would you describe his style? Like a pure boxer or a swarmer? Does he have a particularly British style? Sorry to be a pain, i'll see him in about ten minutes, but I like to know what to look for for some reason.

    Definitely more of a Technician.......very classy style, I think you will like McGrain.....should be able to showcase his allround skills against a very defensively minded opponent.

    No no, he's a pure boxer. Mainly jab right hand. Decent mover. Not the biggest of punchers but has a bit of a dig.

    He sounds great! Maybe a bit like Micheal Watson but not nearly as good because Micheal Watson is awesome?

    He wouldn't just beat Lee he'd probably near shut him out if not knock him out.

    Harsh, Lee already beat this fella and only got the smelly EU title, and now Barker gets him for the EBU title.

    Big *******, good at making space, like the jab. Having watched him for exactly 80 seconds I think someone very organised with a good technical guard and organised straight punches would be a bit difficult for him. Great left hook to the body.
