    Super Talented

    But always injured and inactive. Last time i seen him lose to Lynes at preizefighter. 2 weight british champ but has really not fufilled his potential.

    Anyone no where is he at. Does he have a date to fight. Can he reach beyond domestic level?

    He was quality that night wasnt he. That was a 50/50 and he wiped a very good Hare out

    I was with Dave yesterday, we played a charity footy match together.
    He said he'd had enough for a bit and took some time out, but is now back in the gym with Bob and looking to fight again soon.:good

    Hope he gets some decent fights at domestic level, good fighter he is.

    This reminds me, what happened to Brett Flournoy who was in the LMW Prizefighter? Looked class that night and he was stepping up from welter I think.

    Are you kidding me? That was ages ago. Yeah he got a gift but seriously Barnes's future was way more promising than Pikey Vincent and his gypo following that kicked off after the bout.

    I was very surprised he made the drop in the first place. He seemed quite tight at the weight at 47 let alone 40.
