Mikkel Kessler vs. Brian Magee James DeGale V Fulgencio Zuniga

[ryanman]

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.

[ryanman]

Change the thread title to include Barker vs Hope?

[ryanman]

Barker's right hand starting to take over.

[ryanman]

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

[armin]

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

[Beanz]

After such a long layoff, classy way to return.

[armin]

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

[ryanman]

Impressive from Barker.

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

[Tam Seddon]

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

[IamInuit]

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

[ryanman]

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

[Dropanuke]

Darren a super middleweight?

[ryanman]

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

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.

[ryanman]

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

[Dropanuke]

So where's the effing Kessler fight
