    Two pro boxers... evenly matched... no bull**** matching... both throwing with skill and intent... drama with a knockdown... stamina and fitness in the championship rounds... grace both in victory and in defeat.

    Someone tell me why this isn't one of the best adverts boxing has had in years.

    Lucky it wasn't the referee from Chisora Scott or else would've been waved off in the 6th...

    Hats off, Great fight and outside of the knock down a definite Barker victory albeit in a competitive match up.

    Rest up, rejoice and see what lies ahead DB.

    Or Ian John Lewis and waved off at Heathrow Airport as Darren Barker boarded his flight.

    Great effort from Darren and huge heart to get up from that body punch and finish the round the stronger of the 2...

    I had it to Barker by quite a few rounds, he could have easily outboxed Geale but toughed it with them and beat him at his own game.
