    having spoken to barry since friday i suggested a Q and A for the forum and he's willing to answer any questions you guys an gals may have for him, he also thanks you all for the support, well those who wanted him to win anyway haha, he also stress's that fatigue had set in, thats what finished him, not daws' punches.

    although he also makes it clear that, all excuses go out the window the minute the fight gets made, he simply ran out of gas.

    please leave all your questions and i'll get them answered, thanks. :good

    I think the easiest most reasonable question to ask is where he see's himself going from here now ?

    Losing in British title fights twice must seriously dent his confidence and his belief that he can go on to better things.

    Is he struggling to make 140 ? Does he think he can take any belt holders at or around 140. Does he think he can beat the likes of Lynes, Daws, McCloskey, Rees, Theoplane ? And if not what would he carry on for ?

    tell him we all sadi thanks and good luck in the future whatever he decides to do :good

    thanks for the question

    he has made no decision yet on his future, but he has been boxing every season since 1992, watching what he's eating and sacrificing alot for the sport, he's now got to think about his family and health, and would love to enjoy more days like today with his wee boy at the safari park, he's been promising his boy that trip for weeks and weeks now, god bless him, that was his second of 2 questions when barry stepped off the plane "did u get the belt dad?" and "aww well, are we goin to the safari park now dad?"

    barry also says with the correct preperation, he can beat all of the above at 140, and he never struggled on his way to 10 stone.

    thanks for the question


    it looks silly now now to have taken the gamble, knowing he ran out of gas, never having been in that position before and being stopped, would obv be different if the belt was on his mantle piece, the chance was far too great to let pass, he was'nt sure when he'd get the nod again, he also believes he is a better fighter than daws on his day.

    Thanks for the time taken to answer, both yourself and Barry. Nice to see no excuses.

    I realise that it must be difficult having to sacrifice family time and a lot of other things in order to make it in the sport. best of luck to him :good

    howdo dunky.


    dr mcfarlane has told him he was only 50% of what he could have got him to if they had more time to work together, but barry does not know what to do as yet, he has a meeting tomorrow with tommy gilmour, to discuss his options, but it will be barry who'll make any decisions on his future. :good

    Hi Barry,

    What are your opinions on the Prizefighter series and would you consider ever participating in one?

    Absolutely gutted with the loss but hopefully Barry will make it back to the top end of the domestic scene. I think he needs a few more regular fights and has he considered drinking his urine or anyone elses? Not that it helped the other dude.

    taking punches makes you tired, having to deliver punches to keep a guy off makes you tired, being made to defend an onslaught makes you tired, lenny daws makes you tired.
