Andy Lee vs Darren Barker

op

 

Lee by knock out with a jab after 10 seconds...


Seriously though its impossible to know what would happen - Lee i think has learned his lessons from the Vera loss and we dont really know what Barker or Lee are all about at this point.


Please both fight somebody soon

 

Lee beats Barker IMO, both guys are outside fighters but Lee carries more power and is slightly more polished. I don't think this would be a great fight to watch either.

Neither of these 2 are ever getting near a world title by the way.

 

Lee wins because he has much better ring generalship, a longer reach, power that can hurt Barker, he is similar to Barker but that little bit better in all departments, except maybe for stamina. Barker's stamina is also questionable, he was ballbagged by round 6 in his last fight.

Lee wins for me.

 

I'll go with that. Barker is a good technical boxer but Lee has the edge on him in terms of ability. He also has physical advantages that I think Barker would struggle with.

This one probably comes down to desire though with the hungrier fighters taking it. But it they both have a good camp and are fired up for it then I see Lee winning on points or a very late stoppage.

 

Do you agree though that decent as both are they will fall short at world level.

 

I think that Lee has the better chance of finding his Holy Grail.

He has more time and natural ability on his side.

At the most the middleweight division is relatively weak and with two or three good wins under his belt I dont see a reason why he couldnt pick off one of the German based champions

 

decy ye might be a bit harsh
lee failed badly against vera but it shouldnt define his career
he has some good tools in his armoury and i admit some glaring weaknesses
we just dont know yet if theyll fall or shine on the world stage

 

I know they are in a different division but look at Barker and Lee then compare them to Garcia and DeGale.The difference in ability level is staggering I like both of them but fear they are going to be euro level at best.

ps nothing wrong with euro level the vast majority of fighters fall below that.

 

Barker wins a late stoppage, see it being a pretty even fight until lee starts to run out of steam.

 

don't know, thats why its a talked about fight, though if their styles clash, it could be a big letdown.

 

I am in agreement.
