    Yes any of those would be a huge step in the right direction and opponents that would take my interest back.

    so is barker on the froch undercard then?

    rule out vanda, ayala, and kolle.

    billy lyell would be good plus it gets barker a good chance at sylvester for the ibf as lyell just lost to him.

    If they're on Showtime then most likely Barker, Fury et al will be in against American/American-based fighters. As Bodysnatcher says, they'll probably be on Shobox which focusses on prospects.

    Would be nice to see some of our fighters get Stateside exposure, especially someone like Murray who has a really fan friendly style.-

    So, Barker might be fighting in the US and Tyson Fury definitly is...

    Why can't Mick Hennessey just do the sensible thing, the thing that common sense dictates, and simply negoiate a deal with a "normal" channel??
