    ****ing dreadful x2

    I'm sure his talent will ensure some success but to watch and entertain it was awful.

    Let's be kind and say he has a lot to learn. His biggest problem seems to be the classic 'father living his dream through his son'.

    his biggest problem is he has no fundamentals, fights of the wrong foot, changes stance just for the sake of it, little reflexes, no head movement, and trys to do things only guys like naz, joe or roy would get away with

    unless he punches like a horse (no evidence so far) he ain't going nowhere

    I was well excited on Saturday.

    New British prospect! English! From Sheffield!

    Only to watch possibly the worst fight I have ever seen. Even worse than Danny McIntosh vs Matthew Barney

    it wasn't so much the bad fight, if it was a really poor performance from barnes but he at least established a jab or showed any type of boxing skill then it would be ok, but he's just so flawed and doesn't have the attributes to make that style work.
