Matthew Macklin vs Darren Barker

Actually a lot of people are picking Macklin because of Barkers injuries.

You hate Darren Barker you always have, I find it pretty sad that you actually hate a guy because people have picked him on forums over Irish fighters, don't deny it.

 

Macklins Irish?

 

I was talking about Andy Lee.

 

I know. :stir

 

Macklin would stop Barker. He would beat Murray and totally **** up Lee

 

Tbh i rate barker highly even more so with his fight against sergio. Macklins just a brawler

 

A brawler who used some nice footwork and feints to give Sergio some real trouble.

 

Barker is an absolute sham! He talk's alot of shite and talk's himself up as one of the best in the world. Macklin would tear through him. And Murray.. another sham!

 

Of course he is.

 

Location: Dublin, Ireland.

Do I need to say any more?

 

Think Macklin would edge it, a few years ago i wouldnt hesitate to pick Barker.

 

Good all British fight this, both better than any Irish middleweight by some distance. Macklin wins now though, 12-18 months ago and it would have been 50-50

 

Macklin probably stops him late or takes a competitive decision. Barker tends to fade a bit in the later rounds.

I could see Barker landing a few nice jabs but they would be few and far between not unlike Macklin's fight with Sturm. He'd just out work him.

 

Please lads, don't bite.....
