Anyone going to York Hall tomorrow?

Barker is awesome- he's going places.

 

Compared to Pascal, who is actually a couple of months younger...he isn't doing so well...do you think he will ever be better than Euro-Class? Will he ever make Top 10-15?

 

Yes, I think so. Top 10 imo, so hard to tell though isnt it. Somoene (TSO maybe) was on here saying Crampton would win this, will have to dig that thread up when barker gives him a sound thrashing.

 

Only thing I know about him is that he said Froch would KO Kessler...

 

OH DEAR- that looks bad now.

 

I think so he has good hand speed and excellent poise.... kind of like a third world De La Hoya. He impresses me every time I see him fight.

 

So...he's good but not very bright, right?

[FONT=times new roman, times, serif]“Carl hits harder than him and is a very smart boxer. He is good enough to become undisputed champion in a very hot division. [/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman, times, serif]“At the top level there is a very fine level between winning and losing - and Carl has definitely got what it takes. He has got what it takes to beat Kessler - and anyone else in the division.[/FONT]

No - are you offering tickets?

I am apparently going to Tooting Leisure centre on Sunday for someone's first pro fight...Gonna be boozy me thinksatsch

 

debut

 

Barker is a real talent. Hope he can clinch the Commonwealth Title at York Hall to add to his Commonwealth Games Gold Medal. Sky Sports are televising the show.

Not surprised Barker has been talking up Froch - they are both Hennessy fighters.

Barker took some time out from boxing when he lost his brother (also a boxer) in a car accident last year but the break doesn't seem to have done him any harm judging by his last fight.

 

I do believe Barker tried to have a bit of a tear up with Kessler when they sparred, and Kessler beat him up and gave him his fare home.

 

BA is proper dead eh! literally now though...
