What has annoyed me about this fight is how low-key the whole build up has been so far, up here in Scotland theres hardly been a story about the fight, & I tuned into Scotland Today & Reporting Scotland expecting to see a clip from the weigh-in & nothing. Big Buncey let me down a bit too by not mentioning the fight on his boxing hour, i was looking forward to the big mans thoughts on the fight. Once again though, the fight was ignored. Its a peach of a fight on paper too, the slick mancunian against the big hitting Motherwell man. Anyway, back onto the actual fight, I was pissed off today when my Pal told me that Morrison is being advised not to pressure Barnes too much, Baz HAS to chase him down like a madman, cos Barnes looks like hes struggling at the weight, & he never copes well when a fighter is on top of him anyway. baz has to jump all over this guy from the first bell, & he will win IMO. Its as simple as that! & Morrison has to sink them body shots in also, attack attack attack! On a side note, I just heard that Hatton is going to be there to cheer on Barnes, what is it with Hatton that everytime a mnc fights a scot, his ugly mug is there cheering on the englander???:twisted: Hes not there for the Okine fight or any other Barnes fights, but the minute a jock is in town hattons always there screaming for the english boy to win. Just like he was there for Gomez, just like he was there for Foster jnr. pisses me off that, especially as so many scots hero worship the guy for some reason.
Fingers crossed "The Biz" can get the better of Barnes, cracking fight. Barnes wont want to stand still and trade with Barry, so Baz will have to apply plenty of pressure then let the shots go. Difficult one to call, but since Barnes struggled for the weight I'm hoping Baz can do it. Go on the wee man!:good :good
Barnes will probably want to stay on the outside and box his way to a points decision. Morrison can get frustrated if things aren't going his way, and he could get ragged later on. If Barnes gets into his rhythm then Morrison could have big problems.
that is the main reason i started writing about it .no one else was doinf enouhg for the cause imho.but im glad i am not the only one who thinks so .
im only saying what i read .he might just get the box when man city play crappy teams like bolton,derby county etc.
