    He was a good little fighter for 18, Bailey is no mug, gave galahad among others good distance fights, if he made a comeback he's still only about 20,21, most even at that age are slapping about with headguards on. so whats to be so overly critical about?

    I'm just curious what happened to him.

    Curious why someone quits the ring at 20 after one loss in only his 4th fight.

    His father and him were giving it big-un about how they go to woods and it makes him a special fighter and also talking him up then he fights and he's not very good. Then he loses to Bailey and says in corner at end of round 2 'i'm spent' (paraphrasing). The fact the lad talked about his great conditioning because of his sleeping in woods then is ****ed 2 rounds into a 4 rounder pretty much brings mocking and criticism. Warranted mostly as well..

    He had an arm injury after the Bailey fight which required surgery - not 100% sure but I was told it was on his elbow.

    :good

    Yep when he is telling us we are about to go to the corner to hear whats going on and by the time he's finished announcing this they are finished talking and silence ,, then when they start talking again just before their fighter has to go back out he starts ****ing talking again ,**** does my ****ing nut . :fire

    The ref gave it 39-38 to Bailey? I had it 39-37.

    Rnd 1: Barnes 10-9 Bailey
    Rnd 2: Barnes 9-10 Bailey
    Rnd 3: Barnes 9-10 Bailey
    Rnd 4: Barnes 9-10 Bailey

    Where did that extra point come from?

    If John-Lewis was in charge it would of been 40-35 Barnes (plus a knockdown).
