Mikkel Kessler vs. Brian Magee James DeGale V Fulgencio Zuniga

Barker starting to get the timing and range. Rusty as expected but starting to find it. He will take over in the next few rounds and hopefully force a late stoppage.

Change the thread title to include Barker vs Hope?

Barker's right hand starting to take over.

Right hand can't miss.
Will Hope survive the 12?
If Barker had real power he would be an elite fighter I believe.

Two or more three rounds like that for barker and it gets stopped, hope they still show the kess fight

After such a long layoff, classy way to return.

Well never mind not even one more round, barker looked good, and would certainly give most anyone a decentish fight.

Impressive from Barker.

And it keeps Ryanman's treble on target.
Need Kessler via KO and Juan Manuel via points for a big payday.

Good knockout for barker, he looked in control from the off , let's hope he stays injury free and has a good 2013.

Barker looked great. What a sweet hook. Glad he exploded back on the scene with this performance. I really thought that he would beat Martinez

That was the most forceful I've seen Barker. But he had no need to respect Hope's power so that was always likely.

Darren a super middleweight?

I've always thought he had all the skills. But i think he doesn't have the power to make an impression at elite level.

We watching Degale or Kessler? ;D
Both would be good.
Kessler via 8th round stoppage. Degale via UD.

So where's the effing Kessler fight
