    I can see Barker winning this fairly handily

    This will be a fight with a LOT of arguments about the scoring, given the styles they have.

    Thats true, and when they are so evenly matched on paper , lots of close rounds and we could see all types of scoring.

    Barkers going to pull this off.

    He's been in there with Martinez, considered to be the main man of the division at that specific time, yeah he came up short - but he put in a strong performance, will have learned a great deal and in my opinion will now know exactly what it takes.

    Really do think he's going to beat Geale and therefore become the first of himself, Murray & Macklin to be a world champion.

    If he does pull it off, I really do hope we can see some great domestic dust ups between those 3 with a world title on the line. Would be absolutely great for British boxing.

    5/4 outright or by KO?

    You shouldn't need him to rely on power to win necessarily. Barker on points is hardly unlikely.

    I just hope the fight scoring is fair, could be the kind of thing were 2 judges have a big swing in the scores because of the styles and i think almost every round will be hard to score, i'm going with Barker on a close points win but wont be suprised if it goes the other way its a 50/ 50 fight

    Barker has shown some sparks of absoulute class. Very well schooled and skilled boxer. I think he pulls out a great performance and wins clearly on points

    I see it quite comfortably for Barker. Pts by wide margin.
