    Barker is in for a hell of a beatdown. Glad to see him
    get the shot though.

    Nah, he will be getting tagged from shots from all angles and Barker isn't particularly mobile with movement either. Better mover than Dzinziruk, but not great.

    "They both got 2 arms and 2 legs" as the cliche goes but I don't think Barker has much of a chance TBH.

    Very slim chance. I do think he will put in a respectable performance and won't be embarassed. Martinez UD

    Nah he don't but I wish him the best he seems like a sound bloke. He's got the skills to become a title holder imo but not against Martinez

    he'll probably do better than gary lockett or michael jennings in their US trips. then again that's not saying much

    I believe Barker will do alot better then Jennings and Lockett. If he doesn't i will be dissapointed.

    Barker impressed me in his last fight his skillset on the outside is decent.
