    Thought Darren looked good today. He`s stylish and doesn`t take risks. He might be vulnerable under pressure as he likes to be given time and space, but he looks progressive.

    Darren barker at the age of 27 hasnt beat anyone in the top 40, he was put down twice by a bum called macintosh who had 6 wins and 16 losses. his fight tonight doesnt even count because the guy butler who is nobody himself only had a week to train himself....... darren barker has done absolute nothing to warrant a rating of any kind.

    Sounds like your just reading his record rather than watching him fight...

    His competition is woeful no doubt. I'd like to see him under a bit of pressure because he seems to lack hurtful power, and he likes to box at his own pace and rhythm. I'd like to see him thrown out of that by a tough foe and see how he deals with it.

    He's ready for some decent opponents. How about a Sam Soliman, Mahir Oral or Domenico Spada? I'd like to see somebody of that ilk.

    Completely agree:good. Chillax on the hype, people - we don't even know if he's the best at 160 in the UK yet. Very tidy fighter, though.

    I guess he looked very disciplined tonight. We have to see him against quality opposition. I personally think Macklin would beat Barker. He's not as good as Rawling was making him out to be however saying he will definetly be PPV and all.

    ITV make a huge fuss about him, but I saw nothing special.

    I think that Darren Barker is a quality operator and is heading down the right path...He has made excellent progress since the tragic death of his brother.

    I think that when the questions are asked he will answer them. Darren Barker has all the shots and great condition. I would like to see him take one on the whiskers at the Championship level...

    It will be good to see Barker and Macklin when the money is right and both fighters have got their respectives titles on the line...:good
