    Barry gets it right-as usual.Fast Car still has plenty to learn from the old man.

    Barry was spot on in my opinion, nothing more to be said, Skeete whilst boring did what he had to do and Eggington simply wasn't good enough, at the end of the day Eggington is still only 22 I believe so has plenty of time and whilst I don't think he will ever be a great fighter, he definitely has the potential to compete at European level in the future, he just needs to have more than one plan and work on his defence.

    Apparently Barry has a bit of a soft spot for Eggington, which is probably why he's been extra critical in that interview as he feels Sam could've done a lot more.

    Think Barry was a bit harsh to publicly throw his fighter under the bus. Wasn't a great performance by Sam but felt a bit unprofessional from barry

    Barry was the big reason Eggington got so much of a push he saw something in him to make him think he was world level, Skeete was just wrong for him but Barry is right hes got to adjust and should have stepped in and took more to land more
