How do people see this fight going? For me, Barker has long being an underrated fighter but was unconvincing last time out when given a time to shine. Macklins going through a real purple patch right now but has being in a few wars that could catch up with him. Im tipping Barker to win a barn burner by late stoppage, also think he has more to offer further down the line
I see it being very close. Either way fight for me, although i'll go with Barker on points.
Yeah i agree itll be a very close scrap, top bill overall as well. Brook v Jennings is another 50/50 for me, gotta give props to Warren for putting it together.
Just hope nobody backs out. I think Brook will stop Jennings roundabout 6 or 7. I don't even rate Brook as highly as Sky do. Just don't think Jennings has much left in the tank. The Cotto shelling will have taken something out of him. If Brook puts it on him anywhere near like Cotto did, i see Jennings crumbling again. Probably hasn't got the same hunger to take punishment or fight at an uncomfortable tempo.Quote:

Really is a 50/50 fight, Iwould favour Macklin slightly after Barkers last fight which was a step up of anything he has fought before and it showed and he barely got home.
I have to disagree with the Jennings Brook being a 50/50, even though I feel Brook is way overrated right now for what he has actually achieved I think he has to much for Jennings.
Agreed on Brook. Undecided on Macklin - Barker. Actually forgot Barker had a bit of a shocker not so long ago.Quote:

My money is on Macklin aswell, just

there are some of britains very best fighters, all of the 7 big fights would be a majot fight on the british callendar
what do you want? mayweather pacquao every week?
No, but every fighter on the bill is normally on a domestic Skysports card on Friday night. They are some of Britains best yes, but they still aren't AAA class fighters.Quote:

The fact there are so many headliners on one card almost justifies it. I'll be paying for it, so it can't be that much of a rip off.
how many fighters in the world are AAA fighters?

Its gonna be a close fight imo but Macklin stops Barker late.
I'm now considering getting tickets, it's only a 2 hour drive from where I am and there are still decent seats left for £50 each, just trying to convince a mate to come with me! ;DQuote:
