    What did you lot think of Darren Barker's performance?

    Man, that fight looked a lot harder then it should have been. Barker started off like a house on fire and won the first 6 rounds comfortably IMO But he seemed to shut up shop from that point onwards. That French guy is tough and kept coming at him, and Barker backed off and didn't seem to throw much.

    It's good experience for him anyways.

    Good experience for Barker.

      Tough fight, i don't think he needed to fight that style, made him look bad TBH. Only positive i saw, was a good chin and heart, although that Frenchie is a powder puff puncher......

        I had Barker winning it by 3 rounds.

        The judges gave him a wide'ish UD. One of the em scored it 118-110 lol? Which was bollox to be fair.

          He just ran and ran in the last few rounds wasnt very nice to watch, he was good in the first half of the fight though.

            He looked sharp, some good skills and showed some real class in there, but he got hit far too much and against a bigger puncher he could've been in real trouble.

            He needs to work on his stamina, he had barely anything left after about 8 rounds. It was a tough fight though.

            Deserved the win but some of the judges scorecards were a bit ridiculous.... as usual.

              Barker has no power, he's not going anywhere.

                    He won comfortably in my opinion but I was disappointed in his performance. You need more power shots if you are going to compete in the middleweights of boxing. Calzaghe was an exception because he was awkward styled and had high volume. Barker needs a ko punch if he expects to compete on the next level.
