    I think Barkley would have a very hard time finding Gypsy Joe. I'll take Gypsy Joe by decision.

    It's hard to make this call on the terms of a lack of viewed footage. However, what I know of Ol' Gypsy and The Blade would get me to assume that Joe's unusual style would give Barkley fits. Iran would be slinging shots like crazy early on, all the while Joe uses his ugly, "herky-jerky", circus showman style to be a nightmare spoiler.

    I'd give it to Gypsy Joe Harris via decision (which should be corrected to 'win via confusion', haha).

    I think Barkley would be the aggressor throughout. But slightly outhustled by the elusive Gypsy Joe. Harris decision.
