What next for Coleman Barrett?

An Irish title fight - He realy brought up his profile tonight

 

He fought brilliant tonight, great heart! Unsure where he goes next but certainly more avenues for him now then a couple of hours ago!

 

he has great heart and was really entertaining 2nite, but i don't think he'll go very far, an Irish title i think will be the highlight of his career

 

to small far the heavys for sure.Dont think he'll do much. has a history of inactivity

 

I like him a lot. Definitely too small for Heavy I'm sure he would make a good cruiser.

A good boxer, I was gutted for him losing to Fraudley after easily winning the first round.

 

None. Maybe it's the traveller's curse

 

He's a cruiser no doubt about it. Nothing about his build suggests he's a heavyweight. His whole style tells you he's no heavyweight, his style is amateurish like he's trying to outpoint guys that are bigger and stronger.

If he got down to cruiser some of those punches might have some impact.

 

He will, I believe, get an Irish Heavyweight Title fight against Tyson Fury within 6 months.

 

Didnt think he looked great to be honest ... Gamer looked ring rusty and Baker looked a better prospect but was carrying too much weight . Harrison boxed a smart fight and always had it in the bag ..

 

I like his hand speed, I like his combinations, I like his pretty smart aggression.

He can go places off this. However, both Audley and Baker showed how good clean jabs can make him go into his shell a bit, and his guard was nowhere for that final knockout punch from Audley.

So, get in some time working on those problems, and get fighting again soon.

 

I thought about him dropping back to cruiser as he's perhaps a bit small for heavy.

There must be a reason why he moved up in the first place though.

Some people may disagree with this, but I don't see Audley as an out and out power puncher at a world level. I know he stopped Williams and that was sort of technically clinical, but on the whole I don't think you should be getting knocked out by Harrison if you plan on taking it to a world level... he may well do OK at a lower level though.

Still, I wish Barrett well, and think he done well tonight, especially considering his little experience. Will be looking out for him again. Well done to "the fridge" as well.

 

Audley isn't a power puncher thats the thing. These guys tonight made him into a killer. You gotta remember Tyson Fury destroyed Belshaw too, even more emphatically.

 

just got back from the excel, barrett and his army of followers were simply amazing they made so much noise and generated a proper buzz in the arena
he deserves to earn a decent living out of the game and should push for a fight with sexton or fury next either way il be cheering the kid on he made it a very memorable night
