1 out of 3 Barker

[IamInuit]

2 out of the final 3 Barker. This may end a draw.

[IamInuit]

I think Barker won this but it was an extremely close fight. I hope its a draw at worst and the rematch.

Great fight. Incredible fight weekend from FNF on.

[IamInuit]

[Gandalf]

Awesome, Barker deserved it more. He put it all on the line and gritted his teeth more. Well done!

Amazing fight no matter what happens now.

[bcollins]

Great fights tonight all around.

Really happy for Barker, he deserved it but was a close fight. Interested to see if he has to rematch or whether they'll be a mini series in the UK with Murray, Macklin et al.

Good night of boxing all round.

Barker really surprised me today, thought he was sensational in a courageous performance. He would not be denied.

Did a wee write up on it. Great night of boxing. Apologies to any Londoners out there this may cause some offence to!

Just gave your article a read, not being from London there was no offence for me so I wholeheartedly enjoyed it- keep on writing!

Really happy for Darren. Chuffed for all the British fans on here who told everyone he'd beat Geale as well. Me & @Greenbeanz told you all before the fight was even made that if he got the shot against Geale he'd win it. I wouldn't fancy him against any of the other 3, but I always felt he'd take this one.

Well written, but I've got to take issue with this -
'Like so many fighters based in Britain and Europe, there are a whole lot of names on his record you don’t recognise. And, when you get to the one or two names you do, there is invariably an ‘L’ next to it'.

Is that as opposed to the plethora of Australian fighters out there beating loads of top names?
I'm not very patriotic when it comes to boxing but seriously Britain has had a fair bit more success than Australia over the years.

Good stuff.

You should have titled it - Never judge a book by its cover.

Barker was never the typical flash cockney, ever. Denis Waterman would have needed his own Minder before confronting Barker and even his brother ( a fine boxer) Pete (R.I.P) would have struggled to sort out Darren. It 's a good article, but you need to eat a bit more humble pie if you want us to swallow the fanciful notion that British and European Boxers are somehow exclusively fed a diet of nobodies before fighting for a world title. Maybe you should try some Yoga and practise taking a deep breath before assuming stuff next time.
