Hello Brits. Tell us about barker. Does he got a chance tonight?

European title holder but far from the best middleweight in Europe. He's "good" at best and is lucky to have gotten this chance. I think his win over Spada (good win) said more about styles than how good he really is though. Barker v Zbik would have been a pretty close fight IMO so they are probably about par, top 15 at best.

 

He's got some skills. He can be elusive and can fight out of a philly shell at times.

His power doesn't seem to be that great though.


He better bring his A game if he wants to make this a competive fight.


I don't really rate a Pirog as significantly higher than Barker. He's better known than Barker cuz of winning a fight he was supposed to lose but in terms of quality the gulf between them isn't as great as Sergio haters wanna claim.

 

from what ive seen he is a pretty decent fighter. nowhere near Sergio's league so I think Martinez wins this in easy dominant fashion like he did vs dzinziruk.
