    Watching weigh in. Darren doing that "tough guy" stare again. Who is he trying to cod? Would he ever give over...
    Sturm looked cool calm and collected as usual. Looking seriously fit and a lot stronger looking than Darren.

    Will barker get any credit from you should he win or do you have a bullet point list of ready made ones sat next to your computer....?

    He will get big-time credit from me, yes.
    Just the one real world level win against Geale hasn't convinced me about Darren, but if he also clobbers Sturm I will be seriously impressed.
    He definitely has a chance here, maybe a 30% chance IMO.
    I've just never been fully convinced about Barker. Today I re watched his fight with Belghecham....not very reassuring I have to say.

    If Sturm can't maintain the pace for the full 12 barker wins on work rate, variety and movement.
    Felix looked deadly in his last outing, but it only went a few rounds, and the guy was no Darren barker. If it went long would felix have faded like he has done in a lot of recent fights, that's the question.
    If Darren can stick to boxing he can win, but he seems very wound up. If he loses the cool and abandons the game plan like he did against Geale, Sturm will punish him.
    Bear in mind I'm not the only one picking Sturm ....over half of all punters agree he wins, going by polls, opinions and bookies.
    I'm just the only one prepared to go "out there" with an actual outline of how and why Sturm wins BEFORE the fight...I could just stay quiet, wait till it's all over and jump on the bandwagon like so many others are planning on doing.
    Where are all the posters who we're falling over themselves to pick Barker when this fight was announced?
    What way do you think it will go...
