    Ive never been sold on D Barker, but have nothing against him either, but I have a feeling that Macklin is going to beat him

    What do you think?

    I feel the same actually, Barker got dragged into a fight far to easily last time out, if he keeps to his boxing then he has what it takes to beat Macklin, as it stands i dont think he can do that.

    I've always thought Macklin would come up short against a guy with good skills and movement which Barker does have but doesn't always use. I think Barker will win the early rounds but Macklin will catch up with him and stop him in 8 or 9 rounds.
