Darren Barker VS Andy Lee

Who wins and why?

I don't think this is a great match up for Barker. I think Barker would have a hard time getting off against Lee. Barker likes to be inside before he lets his hands go which would be hard to do against Lee. Barker did a good job against Martinez but I think he struggles against a southpaw with better reach. Lee also has more patience than Martinez. So I think Lee has an easier time with Barker than Martinez did but I think Martinez beats Lee.

I like Barker in this one actually. I am not too high on Lee. Steward has taught him to fight tall, which is good, but for some reason I believe when he steps up in class, he'll be beat. If McEwan had fought a better fight down the stretch, he would have won their fight. I had McEwan winning when he was knocked out. It's not a bad fight for either though.

Barker would beat Lee he is a better class of fighter just a shame he walked into Martinez.
