Poor scoring from judges but a classy display at times for Darren. He look comfortable for best part of fight and tbh fight went pretty much to script.
I predicted UD for Barker and close on the cards , but i was wrong 6 pts difference is the least you could give with the fight i just saw. good fight Darren
I wish i hadn't watched that Barker fight, that wasn't exciting Boxing. P.S you are a twat for saying that i don't watch Boxing.
The only punch macklin has that threatens Darren is the left hook. But I can't see him landing it to be honest. Macklin's right hand is not a threat, he's like Cotto in that respect where his right hand is kind of weak in comparison. And he pushes his jab, Barker's jab is far more techincally sound. Barker's also faster and actually moves at the waist. I wass 65% in favor of Barker before this, now I'm more certain just because I know he's recovered.
i think we'll see the macklin fight, as an eliminator, as long as matt does well enough when he loses to sturm
"Darren Barker returns in style", yeah **** poor style. he gets beat by all top Middle weight fighters. He might beat Macklin but both are hype jobs so it dosen't matter who wins that fight
